Another interesting note. The Verizon phones at the Qwest kiosk I went to were cheaper then the ones online? The Blackberry curve is $99 at the store and $149.00 online. The Blackberry pearls were $79 not $99. I didn't notice any others. So I would think if we are ever allowed to migrate I am going to a store or kiosk first to see their prices. The kiosk rep also said I would get 25% off that figure. We have heard that before. Maybe the online site will eventually show the new prices.

Yeah kinda sucks now with all this crap they keep giving everyone with all the different answers etc. I wanna get the chocolate the black one, On verizons actual site it shows out of stock..

Which I would assume would be for qwests set up with verizon. They keep pushing this back and back no one will be able to get anything they want.

It's weird some phones match verizon's pricing on their own site, then looking at it on the qwest one and its progressivly more, Like the glyde its $79 on verizon's site and $150 on the verizon/qwest site.

My guess is that the prices at the kiosk match the verizon.com prices. Not sure why the Qwest/Verizon landing site has some phones at higher prices, I bet people are still buying them tho...

There is a discount site I can access through my work, it's sort of like the Qwest/Verizon site but some phones are way cheaper than the regular verizon site and some are way more. I have been checking all 3 sites on a regular basis to see if anything is changing and I haven't noticed anything yet...

Yeah I only get a 15% off my bill each month and 25% off accessories not phones but still I would like to use my work discount as I could use the savings each month.

Qworst get your act together seriously!

Well not sure if this means anything (hopefully it means we will be able to switch soon) but if you login to your account on qwest.com they have added something under the My Wireless Phone Service that is a link to their FAQ page about the transition:

Qwest Wireless is Changing! Learn more

They have also changed some of the links at the bottom of the Show Details section under your My Wireless Phone Service:

Questions?

Yeah I see that now too,

Found something interesting in the FAQ's

"The effort to develop consolidated billing by Qwest involves significant work on the part of both Qwest and Verizon Wireless, so Qwest does not anticipate adding the Verizon Wireless charges to Qwest bills until the fourth quarter 2008. Every effort will be made to ensure this is a smooth transition for Qwest and Verizon Wireless customers."

Makes me think that us plain wireless users wont be able to then either. Just cause it makes it easier and "fair" to the bundled people... Shesh joining qwest was a poor poor choice.

Actually I found something that looks good for us:

What if I want to move to Verizon Wireless early?
In the third quarter, we will begin offering Verizon Wireless service to Qwest Wireless customers who do not have a bundle. We do not encourage bundle customers to move until later in the year because we will not be able to provide consolidated billing or bundle discounts until that time.

On a side note... Yesterday I noticed the data portion of my phone no longer works. Does anyone else have this problem?
