On RIM's teaser site for the Bold it does have Verizon as one of the providers, and the product is being initially released for both CDMA & HSDPA. I really wouldnt be too surprised to see it on Verizon by the 3rd quarter.

I appreciate you're being forthright and honest in your reasoning for this blogger issue - but I urge you to differentiate between a blogger (like myself who just writes what I want, when I want) and a blogger who is a frequent and continual contributor to an established media outlet.

I dont see any reason why a blogger who is from the Dallas Morning News should be treated any differently than their "regular" counterparts.

Maybe you should just institute a policy whereas only X amount of reporters, from news agencies are allowed in. Why does the DMN need 3 reporters in your locker room anyway??

My Moto Q doesnt even seem to have GPS capabilities (At least when I try using them w/ Windows Live or Google Maps for Windows Mobile).. Unless its just disabled.. No GPS is the biggest letdown on my Q - but I still love it anyway.

wow. you californiaites pay ALOT on the phone tax! 31 bucks! thats like a 20% tax!

so does the testman site have any info about the SLVR??? I've been waiting for that phone since Sept - and putting off getting a new phone until then.. When is it coming out for verizon?!?!?!

This phone is perfect for senior citizens and adults who dont want complex phones w/ downloadable ringtones, email capability, broadbandconnect capability, camera phones, etc, yet has the reliablity and durability that the public has come to expect from LG. Sure, there are plenty of Verizon phones which are inexpensive (or even free) but I have yet to see a motorola phone which works without problems after 6 months, Nokia has zero track record on CDMA networks, and who wants to trust a no-name company developing an inexpensive phone. Verizon may talk a big talk about how ALL of their phones are put through rigerous testing, are the best of the best, etc, etc, etc - but if that was the case, they never would have released the Razr w/o major programming changes.

It's not supposed to edit documents. The Q is based on the Windows Mobile SmartPhone OS, not the Windows Mobile PocketPC OS. The Smart Phone OS was not even designed to include full qwerty keyboard on the phone.. Fortunatly the Q added the qwerty keyboard making it much easier to use, but the limitations of the OS still prevent Word/Excel/PowerPoint from being included.

I live about 15 minutes away from this building, and although I do understand the importance of the products that were invented in that building, I dont think its necessary to save this building as a history museum.

#1 Its 2 MILLION square feet - if im not mistaken, thats almost larger than all the smithsonian museums COMBINED - and then some! (The Air and Space museum is about 161,000 square feet.) Can you imagine the upkeep costs of this property? Mowing the lawn, heat, air conditioning... Its impossible to make a museum within this building.
#2 This property is the single largest tax payer in the town of Holmdel, if it turns to a museum, the town will surely lose most if not all of the tax revenue of the property.
#3 This property has a huge water tower (in the shape of a transistor) which everyone who drives past the property sees, and PREI plans on saving that, even if its not going to be used, as a reminder of the Bell Labs property.

Sure, this property had a huge influence on modern technology, but its absolutly ridiculous to suggest that it needs to be saved and preserved for future generations to learn from!

I am unsubscribing from your newsfeed. I have never seen a newsfeed that is continually wrong, and is primarily based upon speculation while it seems to be viewed as a factual feed.

I find it appalling you did not seem to understand that the whole point of the MS/Cell Phone agreements this week was the due to the limits which Apple puts on the Moto phones are not pleasing the cell companies.

The Verizon phone is EXACTLY what the other companies are trying to replicate, the ability to either upload phones via USB or receive songs over the air. Something you didnt mention (or didnt realize) is that the Verizon phone utilizes Windows Media. So stop speculating that "Microsoft may have a few ideas" when its obvious that Microsoft's ideas are and will work, since you said so yourself by saying the Verizon Phone is taking off.

Good luck in the future, but you have to get your facts straight and get with the program.

shush GSM users! You folks get EVERYTHING before CDMA, and most of the time, some of those ultra cool GSM phones dont even come to CDMA, let us get the good phones for a change! lol.
VZW locked up an exclusive w/ the Treo700 which should end in March, i cant imagine them bringing to market another "cool" PDA during the time they have the exclusive on the Treo700.. Thus, April sounds about right.. Plus it gives me more time on my VZW contract to try to wangle my way out of the phone i have now.

In addition, i find it humourous to her how verizon has a rigiorous process that they put their phones through before they go to market. If thats the case, half the phones ive had w/ vzw shouldnt have even been sold! Wonder how they fell through the cracks........
