Motorolas dont use Verizon towers???

I stopped in a local RS this afternoon looking at the LG VX7000.
I have a T730 and a v60S, both of which are awful. I explained this to the
salesperson and he agreed that the Motos are trouble.
The he said this...
"I'll let you I on a little secret, the Motorola's do not run off Verizon
towers..."
WHAT?
Can any shed any light on what the heck he may be talking about? I cant
imagine anything like this being true..

The problem is your were talking to a moron at Radio Shack. Not hard
to do, since Tandy corporate policy dictates that each store must
employ at least 3.

Feel free to print this post out and let him read it (assuming he
*can* read).

Consider where you got the information...

How true. Back when Kyocera was still Qualcomm, I was looking in my
local store for something else and the sales nerd starts in on me
about signing up with them for cellular service. I told him no, I had
already signed up directly with VZW and I was happy with my then
QCP-820. The sales driod then makes the mother of all dumbass
comments:

"Oh, the 820 is a good phone. Radio Shack makes all of Qualcomm's
phones."

Hahahahahaha. Yeah, right.

Radio Shack is only good for SIMPLE stuff. If that.
Like batteries and maybe a flashlight.
Which might be useful in shining light up where the
'sun never shines" - definitely the area where the Rat
Shack drone's head was - up.

No drugs needed. It is just typical of RS, Best Buy and others. They
hire a bunch of kids and pump them up with just enough hype to
enthusiastically sell stuff and run lots of advertising claiming they
are experts. If you happen to get a correct answer it is just random luck.

Ok, I figured it was just BS, but by chance I asked here...I knew I would
get the truth.
That being said I am sure there are varied opinions about the relative
quality of moto vs.LG.
Any facts that support or refute this( as it might pertain to reception, in
the phoenix area even).

Before you buy a phone at RS, make sure you understand their
warranty. I had loads of trouble with a 7868 StarTac a few years back
because Radio Shack bought the phones from Motorola w/o warranty and
services them themselves. I had the phone back five times until I
finally blew my top and they gave me a new one.

I do not know if the situation has changed, but I'd definately check
first.

Thanks.

Jeff

You'll open a can of worms, there.

Each brand has its fan club, as well as its detractors.

Two family members have LG's and are very happy with them. Five family
members have Motos, and are happy with them too. I just switched from a Moto
v60s to a Kyocera kx1v. So far, although I have been somewhat of a Moto fan,
the Kyo acts like a much better phone in terms of making and getting calls.
Also my eyes aren't what they used to be, and the Kyo display is way better.

I really wanted the Moto v65p, but they wouldn't sell it to me without the
PTT plan. It would've been nice to have all my accessories fit the new
phone, and I'm still getting used to the UI on the Kyo, but I like it a lot.

He's got to be one of the stupidest ones you'll meet....(c;

i work at best buy and i take offense to your comments. Best Buy actually
trains their employees and they are very helpful. Although i work at the
front lanes and have to ask people if they want a free magazine.
