T-Mobile has 5
ATT has 4
Sprint 1
Verizon ought to take a look and wake up and dump a bunch of their
crappy phones!
It's just a misinformed author. I.e., the Q is available on Verizon, and
several of the other PDA phones have CDMA equivalents on Verizon.
I don't know that the author is that misinformed. While Verizon
does sell a Motorola Q (two models in fact), the Motorola Q they
like is a newer version than Verizon sells. The review for the
Q they like actually links to a review they did of the Verizon
version, so they know the difference.
As for the Blackberrys, two of the three they like have WiFi support
while the third is cheaper than anything Verizon sells. I don't see
any phone on their list for which Verizon has an exact feature-for-feature
match.

This is not 'new' news to longtime Verizoners. Slow to market (maybe not
completely their fault since GSM has a greater world-wide market share), and
limited features (designed to force you to spend extra $ every month). For
consumners it sucks, for stockholders it seems to be working. Good news is,
it seems to be slowly changing.

... Must be pressure from Verizon. ... It's not just the upping of the unlimited rates, it's what's happened with feature phones, smart phones, and InPulse phones. ... Again, I'm sure it's not PagePlus that has been the impetus behind all these changes, but they still are negative changes to what was a service that had very few negatives. ... I suspect the free QNC data is also a lot like that- my PagePlus smartphones get unlimited free 14.4k Quick2Net data, apparently because there's no existing method in Verizon's systems to "trap" those calls and either block them or count them against the MVNO It's been publicized enough on the web that Verizon has to be aware of it, but it's probably something else not "worth" bothering with due to low abuse Thankfully, given the low potential for abuse I doubt it'll end anytime before Verizon finally obsoletes and abandons QNC support entirely. ...
