Anyone using Verizon (rather than Sprint)?!

[Image911]

We hear and read about many of our fellow PPCGeekers that are currently contracted through Sprint (or Canadian Bell and its affiliates) as their cellular telephonic service provider. In fact, there are numerous threads associated with ROM updates for phones on that system. Those of us that are Verizon customers are curious as to whether there are any customized ROMS, tweaks, etc. that are more Verizon Wireless customer targeted? I know many programs and ROM updates in the past - specifically for the VX6700 - were available for Verizonites, I didn't know if there were any or are same for those of us that use the MOGUL VX6800.

So, if there are any of you out there that ARE Verizon Wireless coustomers, please let us know where you are located (such as: "New England", or "New Hmpshire" or "Burlington, Vermont") and what Radio version you are using, and what ROM incarnation you have installed.

That said, I'll start the chain... thread... (whatever....)

I'm with Verizon, and have recently migrated from a HTC Apache (VX6700) to the new Mogul (VX6800). Aside from the obvious cosmetic features and button allocations... the biggest thing was (other than the battery drain - caused in part by the hilly terrain -making the unit pop back and forth between EVDO and 1X)... the cellular service truly SUCKS! (The Verizon PEOPLE are GREAT... just the service is sub standard!) Oh sure, in some areas, it's okay... but, in about 40% of the places, or so it seems, you need to go out doors and move to a pre-designated location and THEN get service. What's worse is when you have your phone on the desk... or in a charger and you have three bars showing, and the monitor states you're between 18%... then 34% and now 66%...oops, back again to 18% signal strength... and I'm not touching it, and no one is moving about the room! Try calling the phone one minute, and the call goes through. Hangup and try calling back... and you're as dead as fresh road kill. The phone NEVER MOVED from the cradle. Go figure.

Device information:
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
ROM version: 2.09.605.8; Radio version: 1.30.60
Location: Orwell, Vermont - just across Lake Champlain from Ticonderoga, New York.

Hopefully this venue will help someone out.

Your turn...!
