RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I've got about 6 months left on my two year contract with VZW. I plan on staying with them because I've had absolutely no problem with them. For the past 1.5 years I've been using a LG Chocolate (which I hate, but deal with). After reading some recent threads about new, high-tech phones on the horizon, I think I might look into getting one, specifically a PDA/Smartphone/PocketPC/whatever they're called. I don't really know a whole lot about phone tech, because I honestly have never followed it. Now, I've done a bit of research on some phones mentioned in a recent thread and they all seem pretty damn complicated and capable of doing everything a person could ever need. I kinda liked the xv6800 that Chris seemed so fond of. Looks decent enough anyways. My mom's got a Palm Treo 700p that I've messed around with a little bit. Seems kind of awkquard, but otherwise, nice. I don't think I'd use it for anything other than the internet, but, I might find other features a lot more useful once I get my hands on one and start playing around with it. Any other phone recommendations? Onto the data plan thing. I just checked out Verizon's voice and data plans. Sheesh that can get expensive! I wouldn't think I would use it THAT much, but, it's hard to say without some experimenting first. I see where they recommend atleast 1350min as a minimum. Any recommendation on a minimum plan/minutes? This one's obviously gonna be different for each person, but, a ballpark figure would be nice. Now onto the sneaky stuff. Is there a way to get unlimited data access for relativly cheap? I thought I read on here a while back about someone having the hookup on this. I think it was Jones. Ideas? Let's hear'em.

RS69 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I can tell you that Verizon Wireless just released new plans that focus on the data side. You will need to speak to a rep or Jones or BC about the new rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonkiller Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I seriiously need to get a new phone, Mine is literally worn the eff out. SOrry austin me and rob conned you into getting the chocolate. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I will say that I only have internet on my phone because its free. At $44.99 a month for unlimited broad band you would have to use it almost daily to make it worth it. We have megabyte plans as well if you dont plan on using it that much. The PDA's tend to be bulky, but as far as internet goes they work great. I would only have about 1000 posts if it want for being bored and posting at work. I even put funny cat pictures on here with my phone. Since its a 2 year commitment I would think about it real hard. I take escalations from customers everyday that want to swap phones because they have no use for a data device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'm also interested in a new smartphone. I'm currently up for my renew-every-two deal, so any of the guys that are with Verizon could you shoot me a PM and see what you could do for me?
