how come verizon phones blow?

I got the Audiovox CDM-9900 and I love it, but compared to other carriers' phones, Verizon has NOTHING. I mean, all the hot new phones coming out belong to cingular/att/sprint.... Explain somebody?

They actually test their phones. You want the trend and none of the coverage? Go T-Mobile. Look @ the new Razor. We're already seeing issues with the charging port and firmware issues. I guess it doesn't matter in the end, right? Because at least you got a cool looking phone that doesn't work.

I just got a v710 and although I'm glad I knew about the crippled BT before I bought it, I have to say all the nit pickers need to get a life. Its a good phone.
