24 Nov 08 HTC Touch Pro Available from Verizon Wireless
The Storm isn’t the only hot phone available from Verizon Wireless these days. Come to think of it you’re more likely to find an HTC Touch Pro than a Storm these days.
The Touch Pro is available on Verizon’s website and that’s where you can order one. It’s a little more expensive than Sprint’s or AT&T’s:
- $349 after a $70 MIR and 2-year contract
- $419 after $70 MIR and a 1-year contract
- $539 with no contract
Luckily customers eligible for an NE2 upgrade can get an additional $50 to $100 off those prices. So what do you think? What shall it be? A Storm or an HTC?

23 Nov 08 Blackberry Storm Sold Out!
As I had been expecting, the latest Blackberry model, coming into the world to defy Phonejesus iPhone, hasn’t remained long enough on the store shelves to gather any dust. Verizon hasn’t yet officially announced anything regarding the exact Storm sales figures but they’ve must have done pretty good.
Unfortunately for those who didn’t get to a Verizon Store in time but still want one, I’ve got some bad news! Shipments are being delayed until December 15th.

23 Nov 08 Hot Blackberry Storm for $99.99!
The Blackberry Storm is instantly disappearing from Verizon stores everywhere. And Verizon is having quite a hard time keeping up with the demand. The Storm is available in stores now for $199.00 with a plan. What do you think happened if the latest Blackberry were available for $99.99?
Apparently the online retailer letstalk.com is going to sell it out there for the bargain price of $99.99.
I guess the plan is to sell a lots of units over the holiday season. You would have to pay $69.99 per month for the following two years, but hey, it must be all worth it. You should also know the whole $99.99 deal starts on December 2nd.

21 Nov 08 Storm 9530 by BlackBerry Now On Verizon Website
In case you want to avoid those lines at Verizon Wireless stores, go online and check out the official page of the BlackBerry 9530 Storm. It’s available for the same $199.99 after mail-in rebate and with a contract. I’d be curious on that stock supply. Would we be better off ordering online or should we get a sleeping bag ready in front of a Verizon store? What was your experience when you purchased your Storm today?

21 Nov 08 Verizon Employees Get Fired for Going Through Obama’s Cellphone Accounts
If you happen to work for any cell phone carrier don’t assume you can simply go through anyone’s cellphone accounts whenever you feel like it. And if you happen to stumble upon Barack Obama’s records, simply kill your urge to take a look. It will get you fired! That’s what happened to some Verizon employees which looked at the personal cellphone accounts of the latest President-Elect. And they got canned for it. Here’s what Lowel McAdam, Verizon Wireless President and CEO had to say about the whole thing:
This week we learned that a number of Verizon Wireless employees have, without authorization, accessed and viewed President-Elect Barack Obama’s personal cell phone account. The account has been inactive for several months. The device on the account was a simple voice flip-phone, not a BlackBerry or other smartphone designed for e-mail or other data services.
All employees who have accessed the account – whether authorized or not – have been put on immediate leave, with pay. As the circumstances of each individual employee’s access to the account are determined, the company will take appropriate actions. Employees with legitimate business needs for access will be returned to their positions, while employees who have accessed the account improperly and without legitimate business justification will face appropriate disciplinary action.
We apologize to President-Elect Obama and will work to keep the trust our customers place in us every day.

21 Nov 08 The Storm Arrives and the Lines Start
Today is the day Verizon subscribers, and not only, were waiting for. It’s the day when the BlackBerry Storm gets released. How will it be? Well for now it looks like Verizon stores have lines with more people in them than the Storm stocks. But we already knew that right?
iPhone 3G launch deja vu? The phone wasn’t available for days at AT&T and Apple stores and that’s what’s going to happen to Storm too. If you happen to spot irregularities in the whole process do tell us. Until know we’ve heard how certain stores deliver Storms only to new customers which is totally not cool!

20 Nov 08 BlackBerry Storm to Come Up Short Tomorrow?
Does Verizon have enough Storms stacked all around their stores starting tomorrow? Are we going to see iPhone-like-queues in front of Verizon’s establishments across the USA? Well it looks like that. People are saying that Verizon might have a problem in shipping all those Storms to its stores. And it’s not because there aren’t enough Storms to go around but because of a tiny OS security flaw which made Verizon re-flash the handsets.
Here are some hints suggesting that the new Berry will be a rarity in stores the following days. A Verizon Corporate store was promised 100 units on launch day but it will only be getting 20 today, 40 tomorrow and 40 on Saturday. Is this what’s going to happen to all stores? Will Verizon spread out the stock? Unofficially that looks to be the case. Best Buy might even delay its Verizon launch as Verizon will surely send Storms to its stores first. We’ll see how this whole situation evolves in the near future.

18 Nov 08 Verizon Has a BlackBerry Storm Private Sale for You
In case you didn’t know it by now, Verizon is selling the BlackBerry Storm starting this week. And in case you didn’t know it by now, The Network has a BlackBerry Storm Private Sale going on for you. The Private Sale was supposed to go on from November 17th to November 21st. The only problem seems to be that there aren’t any Storms to go for. No Storms in the stores, no demo Storms and no good customer service. The only thing Verizon could do for you is to put you on a pre-order waiting list for Friday. What do you think? Is this all a mistake or Verizon messed up this time?

18 Nov 08 Verizon to Delay the HTC Touch Diamond to January?
The HTC Touch Diamond was supposed to be available from Verizon in October. Then people said December is the month when Verizon’s subscribers will get. Well it looks like Verizon will delay it even more. January or sometime next year, that’s when you will be able to get the Diamond. Or so the latest rumors say. We’re hoping these rumors are false and that you’ll be able to order one from Santa this December. And in case they do turn out to be true, then you can simply get a different smartphone this season. Maybe a whole Storm?

17 Nov 08 aFLIX by FunMobility at Verizon Wireless
FunMobility today launched a new service for Verizon Wireless, more specifically America’s Best Mobile Flix, also known as aFLIX. This is the first mobile social network and video sharing service for Verizon customers.
Thanks to the video cameras that most mobile phones have, users can upload & share their own content and upload it online to the desired category, be it comedy, crazy pets, kids, or others. Like it happens in any other social network, users are able to create their own profile and interact with others by commenting, rating, and reviewing videos. Obviously, all these tasks can be done directly on a cellphone.
FunMobility already has aPix which is a photo sharing service, so I guess they are complete with the video service aFLIX, that can be downloaded and costs $5 per subscription.

09 Nov 08 Verizon’s $10 Connect Plan to Arrive?
No matter if you’re a Verizon Wireless subscriber or not, you should be interested in the BlackBerry Storm which is supposed to arrive the following week. And you probably would want an unlimited data plan to go with that Storm right? Unfortunately Verizon’s unlimited data plans are just a little pricier than you would like them to be.
But here comes the word on the street which says there’s a new data plan in town called “Connect”. You will get an unlimited mobile internet for just $10 month instead of the current V Cast plan.
If someone does not want the Vcast service, this is a step above the current premium plans. So if your premium plan is $79.99, you can add Vcast for $15, for a total of about $95. With Connect it will be only $10 more, for a total of about $89.00. Connect allows for unlimited mobile web so if you want to save five bucks, and have the premium plan with unlimited mobile web, but no Vcast, that’s the new plan.
And if you want to add it on a secondary line, it’s also $10 bucks. It will be available on November 16 mobile web phones only, not smartphones.
We’ll find out if this all comes true, and hopefully the new Connect plan will apply to smartphones too.
