Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !
 

dont do it--just to spite them stick around were obviously gonna need you; someone is going to have to reverse engineer verizons red meddling tile of costing... but hardware wise they cant change anything...thats the Microsoft rule on this one.(iphone unity verses android fracturing im guessing as the role model on this one) Im sure thats one of the reasons vzw are not pushing it- they didnt get their way...if you look at that fcc ruling the trophy only passed the second set of testing on the 23rd obviosly that puts vzw behind for the 24th...it was however passed before after its original november application ..so even if the original application was pre nodo...the second application could mean nodo plus verizons touch(poo finger). Sprints arrive (the other phone depending on nodo) started testing at fcc.. looks like the 11th feb; passed on feb 24th a whole month earlier as far as i can tell.(..FCC site difficult to navigate)
didnt see anything about november tho!!!?! unless vzw's first application was based on the world phone end of it which means verizon have been testing gsmshit since nov??( without nodo..)and writing tiles. Sprints arrive is not world phone.. It has a smaller screen too; im ok with that.(them having it)

Anyway if it just passed its gonna take a week or 2 to ship and stock...so april 7th for ms employees free phones extension, sounds like reality I dont think they would have pushed it out just one week unless it was firm..I bet it is widely available the week prior to that.. and regardless of any testing the nodo wasnt pushed... and its big red:pale:

Nice find, that just tells me that Verizon WILL not be releasing it this week and possable not next week. Just because their offer expires, does not mean the phone is released, crap it could get released on the 15th, it does not matter.

Again, nothing new expect if your on Verizon your not getting a Windows Phone 7 model any time soon. Phuck Verizon !

Well, still waiting... As far as the tester has said, they have not disabled any features on the phone. They extended the date and I will start testing GSM networks a few days after the first if there is no annoucement or release date.

The release of the HD7s (HD7 with a SLCD display) makes AT&T look good. If I was to change, that is what I would be getting.

I have been waiting from the release of the first models, I am sick of waiting....Almost at the end of my rope here...

Only thing that is ok, IF they end up with it and I don't pay full price, it's only $70 extra for a 1 year contract with VZW.

Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !
 

I figure it is possible that it just got extened a week because it is being released soon. they could have exteneded it by alot further if the phone was to far out. and they could probably assume that most microsoft employees might want to see the phone before the do the deal. so in hopes to entice them release this week and see if anybody else wants to do the deal. but its all speculation i just hope they get it out soon. or i might also consider at&t if it werent for those stupid data caps they use. well heres hoping for next week.

Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !
 

It might be extended to MS employees because of the lack of interest from MS people. This isn't a top of the line WP7 phone, middle of the road according to pundits I see post opinions elsewhere.

I had the Samsung Focus for two months and truly loved it. I wish they would port to CDMA or introduce a similar phone on Verizon.

I read an interesting article that said that the only new phone on Verizon was the new Android unit from HTC. This writer thinks that Verizon is rethinking their view of putting all their eggs in the Android basket. The next 45 days might be interesting for us Verizon users.

Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !
 

Service is just plain different in various parts of the country. I live near Seattle and lined up at the AT&T store, after 4 years with VZW, to get WP7 at launch.

About 60 days later I had to bail my wife and I out of AT&T because the service was just that poor, even with a femtocell at the house we were not able to consistently make calls, and would miss incoming calls. Customer service at the call centers definitely left something to be desired as well after leaving VZW.

So, we went back and at pretty significant expense, not to mention losing WP7 for the time being.

I guess my point is, having the fancy new phone sooner just ain't worth it, if the service isn't there. If you have good service now that you trust, don't put yourself through the headache.

Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !
 

Recieved an email from a blogger to remain nameless...

Says testing approval should come next week..and maybe a week to launch.. more or less... so .. basically mid-April.. :(

Somehow.. I almost prefer not knowing so I can just get the eyephone and get it over with.. :(

Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !
 

Hmmmm... I guess I will be calling VZW and telling them I will be going overseas and need a SIM, then I will unlock it so I can test AT&T's service in my area. I have given them plenty of time and over the years with GSM getting better phones years before CDMA, it's all over, I don't care of LTE will change it 3-5 years from now, after 2 I will relook at my options again.

Friday is my last day to find out, then it's a phuck Verizon, after 12-13 years. I will test AT&T for a few weeks, if solid and better or as good than VZW in my area, bye bye.

That HD7s (HD7 w/a SLCD display) makes AT&T very tempting and they finally have a phone I might go over for.
