Verizon Cell ?

Is it true Verizon is coming out with a Kyocera Slider Phone? I'm in the market for a phone in the next month or so...

Ken, answer me this (if you know). Does Sprint have to "qualify" handsets that Virgin sells since they are using Sprint's infrastructure, and ultimatly impacting the network performance? If so, I am guessing Sprint qualified the SE47 (SLider) for the Sprint network.

If that is the case, why won't Sprint let me put my Sprint configured SE47 on my Sprint service? They are making a huge stink about it.

Edit (kensteele): sorry meant to reply

Yes we do certify them. I have several VM phones laying around that I took a look at.

Per policy, cannot activate on Sprint. Can't "say" exactly why not. Just can't.
