Official Verizon XV6800 update and cost reduction!

[mrmadness]

Hello all! Not sure if anyone has been over to XDA recently, but there's good news on the horizon for Verizon (no pun intended) folks! An update to the XV6800 (Titan) is done and awaiting a release. News can be read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408447. And if you have an internet subscription, listen up! Most of you may not know this since it is NOT advertised yet on the website or even in the stores unless you ASK!!! But, if you're paying Verizon for internet on their unlimited acess $45 a month service, you can now change it to their new UNADVERTISED $30 a month service. I did not know this. Here's the why it's on the DL. Not all phones support EVDO Rev. A. So, not all phones can use the service. In fact, most can not. So, if they advertise that this can happen, many people get upset that they can't get unlimited internet at $30 a month. See what I mean? But, the 6800 can support Rev. A and it's even coming with this new update! So call Verizon, tell them you want the $30 a month unlimited since you have the 6800 and tell everyone you know who has it! They can only sign you up over the phone or in a store. Don't expect to find it on their website yet. It's not listed there and can't be subscribed to online, just phone or store. Spread the news!

Edit:
Just something else to chew on, Verizon is merging with Alltell. It's actually happening and the details are being ironed out, but all Alltell customers can expect their network to double in size before the year is done. Keep your eyes on the news too. Verizon is also looking at an MCI merger and a possible Qwest merger. Neither will increase their network by much, but if Qwest is adopted, say hello to mega bandwidth through a nicely laid fiber optic backbone. Nothing official as of yet on those two, but definite possibilities, like getting all the nice gadgets the Qwest and Alltell phones have and vice versa...
