A couple things I’m going to correct here:
-
The Venus does not require you to switch to Nationwide calling plans.
-
The ETF is $175 and goes down $5 a month until it reaches $110.
-
VzW’s $30 PDA plans are for unlimited email and internet browsing, the other carriers that “give” you data bundle it together with their text plans and it’s only about 10MB. Whoopdeedoo, try using e-mail/internet consistently with 10MB of bandwidth.
-
VzW’s data overage on non-PDA phones is only $1.99/MB. Compare that to Sprint and AT&T’s MB overage charges which are 5X+ that.
-
How do you think it would make sense for Verizon to ditch a multi-billion dollar CDMA network that supports more calls per channel, which is more superior in performance to GSM, btw, to switch to an inferior GSM network? Especially after we just won the 700mhz auction and our Broadband service is going to be fast as hell.
-
You think Verizon doesn’t have the “coolest” phones because you have/had Verizon. Every person I help out from another carrier always starts off by telling me how lame their current carriers phones are, and I know customers that leave Verizon do the same as well. It’s just part of human nature to want what you can’t have.
