Is it too much to ask for a Blackberry with bluetooth access? Today I read Tom's blog and I see that T-Mobile devices are improving at lightning speed. The new Blackberry 7290 in fact is an amazing device because it has a brighter screen, has bluetooth and works in 175 countries.
The best Verizon offers is the 7750 which is a good device but it is slow and has no bluetooth. It needs better battery life, a brighter screen and bluetooth that isn't crippled by Verizon. I recently switched to Verizon because their wireless network is superb. I don't understand why this company consistently has the worst devices on the market? What do shareholders think about this? I guarantee they would have greater market share if their devices were just on par with other companies.
The problem could lie in the fact that they don't support GSM and manufacturers get better economies of scale by focusing primarily on GSM devices. I don't know the answer but I can tell you being on the Verizon Wireless network with today's devices is like driving on the Autobahn in a Chevy Chevette.

I have been a customer of Verizon wireless for about five years. I went to a local store a few days ago and was very disappointed to discover that I was not eligible for a free phone upgrade. The best that they could offer me was a dicount price on a new phone. The reason they gave me was that I had not been under a 2 year contract agreement with verizon and therefore I am not eligible for a free phone. They said that in order to obtain a free phone I would have to be under contract for 22 months and that then be eligible for an upgrade. I have been a loyal customer of Verizon for about five years, and I have no desire to change
companies. But I feel that the commitment I have made to the company is not being reciprocated. The last upgrade to my phone was in January of 2001, so with all the technology, my phone is antiquated compared to others I've seen. I have had many offers from other cell phone companies, who are willing to offer me a free phone upfront if I sign a one or two year agreement with them. I don't feel that I am being unreasonable in my request,after all, the cost of a new phone is only about $50. Given the amount of time I've been with Verizon, this should have been given to me as a thank you gift. All cellular companies offer basically the same service, therefore Verizon
should make more of an effort to keep the customers they have!
I was shocked to see a $59.99 extra charge on my October 15 bill. Seems they are now charging for what has been a free service. Mobile Office Kit allowed users to dial in their ISP at 14.4 ....slow - yes, but if you're in an RV park in the middle of Utah... at least you can get your e-mail. When it didn't work, I called *611 and the techie 'fixed it'. But, he failed to mention that it would now cost 59.99 plus taxes each month to get their "high speed access".
This is a breech of contract... to provide a service which has been free for years and has been touted as a great feature of their phones (with the optional Mobile Office Kit for an additional $44.95) and now to suddenly charge for it without notice... that's not only a breech it's fraud!
"Hello Cingular, how to I transfer my cell phone number?"....etc.
