want to get new phone - new every two with Verizon Wireless

Greetings!

Wanted to get a camera flip phone with bluetooth two years ago, but
Verizon had many problems with the V710, so I had to get something.
Figured I would get the LG VX3200 - bad choice - was dropping calls like
crazy, and then when I had to get a VX3300 refurb, I couldn't transfer
my phone book. Had to enter it manually.

Then I went through three refurbs in 4 months - one just died and took
all the new numbers with it. Bad speaker and earphone jack problems. I
am fed up with LG phones.

Want to go back to Motorola, but not sure which one to get. Is there a
better model of the RAZR with more durable cover and keys - black vs.
silver?

Are all the new Verizon phones coming with a UI that won't allow you to
change type fonts? I can at least change the type fonts on the old
VX3200/3300.

Both those phones are tri-mode, but with one bar they don't work. THey
have a stub antenna - but the RAZR has an internal one. Does anyone
have relevant experience with new Verizon phones in the Raleigh, NC area?

Is there a reason you're knotted to Verizon?

I'm on Alltel and it works great all over Raleigh and central/eastern NC.
700 minutes of regional coverage is $39 which covers all of NC/SC and
eastern VA from Emporia to all of Norfolk/Portsmouth/Newport News with free
N/W and M2M on Alltel. After you've been a customer a couple of months,
Alltel adds 100 Anytime minutes good nationwide for free! You can also buy
100 minutes of nationwide for $10 for those infrequent out-of-NC/SC/Norfolk
travels.

If you don't fly all over often, you don't HAVE to buy VZW's forced
nationwide coverage that's so expensive.

Alltel's data service is called Axcess:

have a look.

You get used to not being lied to by the CSRs, but it takes some time....

I'm all ears....Tell us more!

Try to be SPECIFIC. I don't consider my 800 minutes, unlimited N/W,
Unlimited M2M for $40 to suck too bad.

The only billing error I have encountered was when my free 100 anytime
minutes was eaten during N/W offpeak hours. I stopped by to see this
little blonde at the local Alltel office in N Charleston, SC. Sitting in
the nice padded swivel chair, I watched her page through my account to see
why. Unable to tell, she called for help from some billing expert. He
took her to 3 screens where a few keystrokes later an entry error had been
corrected, some code was wrong, and now it stops eating my 100 minutes
during late night, early-in-the-month chats. Anytime minutes only eats for
the first 100 minutes of PRIMETIME usage, now, before it starts eating the
other 700 minutes I get for $39 with all the toys.

What, specifically, was YOUR billing issue? I'm still getting used to not
being lied to every time I walk through the door, myself.

WV? Isn't that where you go to pick up little girls, pedo creep?

The E820 is a pretty decent phone. I'd like to get one of the new PDA's with
mobile 5.0, but don't have the need to get my e-mail from anywhere at
anytime, at least not at the price wireless broadband is going for. Still, a
smart phone...

Thanks. All the carriers suck in many ways, especially from region to
region. Alltel has much better native coverage across SC than Verizon,
especially in Eastern SC where VZW couldn't buy up areas like Myrtle Beach,
a very lucrative roaming market with all those touristas. Hell, until a
couple of years ago, VZW had no service from just south of Charleston to
Savannah, GA. The carrier on A800 was a little mom and pop AMPS system and
they refused to allow VZW customers to roam on them. VZW finally bought
them out and took over their system. Alltel bought up 360 Communications
B800 across Eastern SC and Bell Atlantic's in the midlands and upstate in
the mountains.

As with other carriers, I do find the 611 tsr's a little misinformed, but
at least on Alltel they are capable of more than reading the scripts and
will transfer you through to higher up, rather than outright lie to you.
