Verizon..... SUCKS

[sonnemad]

What announced specs? Verizon has not released any information on their specs for their Diamond. The only specs I've seen are the leaked document from Sprint comparing it's diamond to the verizon diamond. I know better than to believe a "leaked" spec document from one company about another companies products.

Until Verizon releases specs on the Diamond. I'll assume that it's the same as every other CDMA diamond out there. Verizon will as always cripple the software on the phone, and then load it down with a bunch of crappy pointless applications. But I have yet to see anything that would convince me that the hardware will be substantially different.

Juggalo_X, you're right about the vast majority of Verizon phones (about the crippling)..... I was an owner of the Verizon Motorola V710 and I hated what Verizon did to it. I may be wrong, but weren't the Verizon and Alltel HTC Touch versions the same as the Sprint HTC Touch version, with the exception of the color? WiFi and GPS were removed from all the versions compared with the original GSM version.

The one released document about the crippled Verizon Diamond (http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/More...le-a_3021.html) was released with a "Sprint Ahead" logo on it. Does anyone here know of other evidence to suggest it will be crippled? I hope you're right Juggalo_X, as I wouldn't want you to eat your hat!!! What kind of hat is it??

Also, regarding the Alltel Diamond, based on the posts on this site, it didn't appear to be crippled... Do you have alternate evidence? I hope you're wrong on this one.

By the way, thanks for all of your cogent posts.

when i was surfing looking to altell pics for there manila style the spec sheet i saw was the exact same as verizons. now the sad truth is verizon is probably going to cripple there device, given there track record with others they have did it to. altell, since i could find jack all about it really, im more inclined to say that the specs i saw for them may have been more likely bogus then verizons. those specs have been out for a while. and with all the smack talk on verizon, you'd think if they wernt true they would release something different to save face?

i vaguely remember reading a review some where on the verizon diamon and all the guy did was complain about how it was crippled. ill see if i can dig it up. i may be mistaken.

the hat is made of fruit roll-ups heh...


i just had a thought..... does any one els hate the verizon guy? i just wanna slap him when i see the comercials lol

The real spec for a CDMA Diamond on Verizon is still unclear. The only thing we saw confirmed was something "Sprint" released as talking points comparison between theirs and Verizon.

WHo knows, they might end up being identical in specs as far as we know.

I just switched to Sprint from Verizon a couple weeks ago. After about 20 total calls to CS in that time, I'll say this - about 50-60% of them just flat out don't understand the English language. And I can't understand what about 75% of them are saying to me. But then again, I barely understood what user willmatic08 said 3 posts above either so it's quite possibly just me.

Isn't the hardware spec HTC Touch for Sprint and Verizon pretty much identical? With maybe the fact they lock down GPS to be used by their VZ Nav.

On the software side, Sprint offers more on the multimedia end.

So I wouldn't expect them to nurf the Diamond between the two. Keep in mind, it cost more to have two different hardware designs. It is expensive enough for HTC to have a GSM version vs CDMA version. Now multiple of CDMA within that, that cost to R&D

I'm not sure what you guys are smoking, but Sprint's service blows.

I put up with their awful service (dropped calls, garbled one sided conversations, no coverage etc etc etc etc) for almost two years because I had Sprint service for free.

I now pay for verizon (& yes, their phone selection sucks), but even though I could still have sprint for free if I wanted it I will NEVER EVER go back........

Well coverage all depends on where you are, just like with every carrier. Sprint is awesome here, but sucks other places. Deal with it. They have the best internet and really kick *** phones.
