Verizon's new phones?

I'm kind of new to the off-topic forum, but I was just wondering if some of the veteran guys and cell phone addicts could give me a heads up on some of the phones that will be coming out soon for verizon this summer/fall. I am due for a upgrade from my pos t720 motorola.Hehe and this is used to be a nice color phone. man has technology advanced. i like the kyocera slider phone, but it would have been nice if verizon would get off its ass and get phones like the siemens sl65 and the other sweet phones that attwireless come out with first. Getting the V600 would be nice, but i dont know even when thats coming out finally for verizon. Many thanks guys....MIKE

dont count on the v600 ever. its gsm and will only work for cingular, att, and tmobile. i believe the v878 is coming out for verizon but who knows when.

verizon just released the kyocera se47 slider.

ask mikey; he knows verizon.

It's not really up to Verizon 100% the kind of phones that they get. I would even say it's mostly out of their control.

Why would anyone care anyting about the phone anyway, isn't the superb Verizon service good enough for you? What more do you want?

hehe...thanks ken..yeah i have to admit verizons customer service is the best in the business... i know you work for sprint but my personal experience with them was horrible. Their customer service is so hard to reach its ridiculous. i like verizon, but i just wish we would be offered a better selection of phones... thanks mikemobiles for the info!

That's how it works MQMH.. Verizon does not have the best phones, but they clearly have the best all-around service.

It's not an accident they're #1.

Is that the same phone that Sprint sells today, the Toshiba 9950?

VM4050

If so, then I would say it's a pretty nice phone, the display is awesome.

Motorola V710

Here is a link to some pics for the motorola v710 for verizon wireless. We are expecting the v710 to be coming out soon. Maybe by the end of the summer. I saw my manager looking at a email that has the training guide attach to it. So we should be expecting it. Also, I dont recommend anyone buying a audiovox phone.

Verizon with a megapixel phone before Sprint? Impossible.

Yes, the a670 is an ok phone. Sprint already sells something similar the Samsung a680, it's doing pretty well. If you can wait, I would look for the Moto v710.

Sprint's digital coverage is bigger than Verizon's digit coverage. So now Verizon is not the biggest at anything...how will they survive?

VERizon has the largest nationwide coverage overall between digi and analog...I am pretty sure with 40 million customers strong (as of recently) we will do fine!!
