Color me skeptical when anything from Verizon Wireless is being hailed as an iPhone killer. How many previous phones have held this mantle? Most phones coming from the tightwads at Verizon Wireless are sure to get good reception, but their mantra has always been to have complete control over their equipment. In the past the company went so far as to streamline all non-pda phones’ operating systems to make them uniform. I used to work for VZW and know the control they like to have over everything, so I am doubtful that the new phone will be quite the hit they expect and offer everything they are promising in this commercial. I’m even more doubtful it will all be at a high level, especially since it’s coming from Motorola, and even dent sales of the iPhone. I will admit that I am a little out of touch with the industry because once I left Verizon Wireless I no longer had any interest in cell phones other than leaving their service to get an iPhone. So I don’t know all the specifics about the phone but hey, it’s still VZ-dubs. But anyways, I dig the song they are using in the commercial, so maybe enjoy that instead of getting the phone.
