I have three phones on a family plan. Only one has a commitment at present. I’m so disgusted with the billing errors I get nearly every month where I am charged with services and features I didn’t order My girl opened her phone to get a phone number in bermuda, never made a call or sent a text–just opened the phone to get a number, and we were billed $30 for a Bermuda sourced call, on whose date and time were we back in the US. I could give you a million other stories–like being billed for data when we have every phone blocked for data. We can no longer send or receive pictures message–part of our text plans because of this. I particularly hate the fact that Verizon phones are crippled and force you to keep features we don’t want like their horrible V-Cast.

I love their coverage, but where I live the all have good coverage. I can’t stand Verizon deciding what my phone can or cannot do. I’d rather have pay as you go phone on T-Mobile–my second phone I use for traveling Europe also… At least T=Mobile wants my business and doesn’t try to screw me over every month.

One more thing. Get AT&T and roll-over and up you minutes to a high minute plan for a month or two and then drop it to a low number and you don’t have to worry about going over you minutes. There are lots of companies that treat their customer better than Verizon. Although I hate Sprint even more.

What is the Verizon android phone anticipated release date?

Verizon’s plans are in my opinion very close to most companies. They may be a bit more expensive but I will pay the extra to be with a company that puts on average 1.2 billion dollars a year into building new cell sites and truly is the best data network you can get. Why pay ten dollars less for a data coverage that is no where near Verizon’s. Just my thoughts.

This really angers me. Dont get me wrong, Verizon has GREAT service, and awesome phones, there is one problem. They ALL deteriorate. My dad has an Android, and he has never had any problems with it after 3 months, Ive tried, and loved it. I currently have an LG Voyager, my 2nd. My first got its screen cracked 3 months in, I wasnt even rough on it. My 2nd got its outer screen cracked, that one was my fault. But since then, my interior screen has been absolutely deteriorating in how often it wants to work. My AIM doesnt want to work half the time, and now it wont even CHARGE unless its in the EXACT right spot. Verizon has cool phones and great service, but I REGRET leaving T-Mobile, for Verizon

according to the countdown on the web site the release should be November 24th 2009

I am a Verizon consumer. And while I think Verizon is an evil corporation out to monopolize the mobile market I also know I save money being with them and having their FIOS service. Which gets me a discounted total bill. That being said all the information I’ve read recently about Android coming to Verizon sounds like its pretty much guaranteed. What isn’t is the time table. I, like most, prefer sooner than later. Now I agree with the disparagement about CDMA. CDMA is a dying technology and with the introduction of 4G LTE coming soon maybe CDMA will at last finally become extinct like it has throughout the rest of the world. If this happens I think Verizon will finally solidify itself as THE mobile company, of course than it will probably charge us all a fortune. Anyways being the HUGE fan I am of android I would settle for an Android phone on Verizon’s current network. I’m told that the Verizon is offering two options with Android, get the phone yourself and use our network (spend hundreds on the device and have no guarantee from Verizon) or buy it through us (undoubtedly once they’re done a crippled device will remain) and have our support. Personally I’d be happy to buy a CDMA open Android device and then just use it on my plan. Atleast that way I can use my data the way I want and not how Verizon decrees.

I have verizon and i have an unlimited texting plan so i dont know what they are talking about when they say verizon doesnt offer an unlimited texting plan because thats what i have…i used to have just unlimited in texting but i changed it to strictly unlimited texting last year.

I’m on the same boat. I love Verizon coverage, but their phone line-up is always last in line; I too am on the verge of switching to T-Mobile or Sprint. I’m growing impatient waiting for Verizon to get to the cutting edge of this industry.

this is status quo for bell nynex nothing has has changed in 15+ years of operation.
Verizon has missed so many oppertunites to dominate the market instead they have put the money back into the network and network only.. it was wonderful to see GOOGLE back them into a cornner with the purchase of the UHF band. verizon must offer a small section of the spectrum for public use if the cost went over a certian dollar amount .. it went over and now the public has its own spectrum.
Now we have Android and the public wants it and Bell Nynex is moving like a stick in the mud to delay and or derail a great phone.
this leads me to another point . the worlds largest handset maker NOKIA stopped developing sets for the CDMA market because it is a dead end standard. The CEO of NOKIA commented that developement cost for cdma in the US is diportionate to handset share which for cdma is only 20% of the total sale for NOKIA.
In short Verizon can you see the money dissappear NOW

I’ve been with Alltel since last year. My friend went to T-Mobile and I have been nothing but impressed with his apparent coverage (he hasn’t complained of dead zones) and the G1 he uses.

I asked the Verizon/Alltel people “when are you getting an Android?” And they looked at me like I was retarded. I don’t want to go to Sprint, and there’s one thing I surely enjoy about being on the Alltel/Verizon network: Practically perfect coverage.

I want an Android because I am SICK AND F’NG TIRED of cellular operators cutting off the free flow of information, forcing us to purchase stupid f’ng ringtones at outlandish prices.

I understand that cellphone companies have the need for profit, but there’s a point to where you’re raping your own customers into oblivion. $1 for a ringtone? What the hell?

And I’ll never understand the point of removing the capabilities of a phone, such as bluetooth transfer, etc. and still charging FULL price for the damned phone. Ok, so I have $200-$300-$400 phone. WOW, I can’t use 70% of the phones capabilities because they want to charge me even more! What a buy!
