Hope this works out better than Verizon's common OS. Believe me, I tried the V3c here in China with the local OS (which kind of looks like the Aqua interface of Mac OS X) and an American one with the Verizon OS (I went to a "flea market" to find a replacement for my phone with a faulty headphone jack- when I tested it and it rang through to my phone with a US number I naturally didn't test any of the other network functions). The Chinese OS wins. The red (and nowhere could I find the option to change it), the tabs, the feel... all of it wasn't as intuitive as the Chinese OS was. It could be the fact that the Chinese OS resembles Aqua a little too closely, though (I remember hearing that Alltel used the same OS on their V3c as on Moto's GSM phones; here in China Motorola CDMA phones have a different OS than Moto GSM phones).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
