Verizon iPhone4

Verizon iPhone4 Quick Review
Well, the Verizon iPhone4 is an amazing device. My daughter has been using this phone now for about 2.5 weeks and it is everything we expected it to be. The phone has a great profile. It’s not too large (think Droid X) and it’s not too small think Blackberry Curve.

The sound quality of phone calls is fantastic. We have experienced no drop calls. It appears the antenna problem with the ATT iPhone4 has been corrected with the Verizon iPhone4.

The easy to use keyboard for texting is fantastic. It is a touch screen keyboard and after moving from a physical keyboard there have been no problems adapting to this one.

One of the really nice things is the forward looking camera. My daughter downloaded the Tango app and it produces a nice crisp video, when using a wireless connection, and a decent picture when going over the cell network.

The thing that has really blown me away is the quality of the photos that this camera takes. They are unbelievable! Crisp. Clear, Unbelievable detail.

Did You Pre-Order an iPhone 4 from Verizon?

lrbee — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:11:18 +0000

It was my daughter’s turn for a phone upgrade. Actually, it has been for about 4 months. Her 2-year Verizon contract, as part of a family bundle, had ran out back in September 2010. There wasn’t really a phone that excited her at the time so my son and I suggested she wait to upgrade as the rumors were running rampant then that Verizon had finally inked a deal with Apple on the iPhone 4 and that it was on the horizon. She decided that would be the course of action she would follow so the waiting began.

She has been a Blackberry Tour user for the last 2 years and she likes the phone. The only problem encountered was with the trackball mouse. Used Cars Denver . We had to have it replaced a few months ago. She really likes the long battery life she has with the Blackberry. I hope she is not too disappointed with the battery life of the iPhone 4. I know most smartphones seem to use battery like we use air.

So. as we got into January 2011 the anticipation began to grow. When Verizon announced the launch site for existing customers she was quick to sign us up for notifications and information on thet launch date. She called me when she new the specifics and said that the iPhone 4 could be ordered from Verizon for existing customers on February 3, 2011….at 2 am central standard time. So, me being the good dad that I am I told her I would get the phone ordered for her.

I got up at 1:55am on February 3, 2011. I had left the laptop turned on so all I needed to do was log in to the Verizon order site. In short, the experience was fine. I was immediately logged in with no delays. I began my order and I got to the part where you needed to enter your credit card to pay. I normally have my phone purchases billed to my account. This is just one less time I have to give my credit card to somebody as far as I am concerned. That was not an option this time. And that was fine, it just wasn’t what I expected during the checkout process. I reviewed everything to make sure it was correct. Hit checkout to complete the order. I wrote down the confirmation number and went back to bed. free guitar lessons . A total of about 10 to 15 minutes from a sleepy person to complete the transaction. RÃ???Ã??©fÃ???Ã??©rencement SEO . I was pleasantly surprised.

When I woke up later that morning for work I had a confirmation email on my Blackberry Curve that the order had been confirmed at about 2:55am. On Friday morning, February 4, I received a confirmation email with tracking information that the iphone 4 had shipped from Verizon. Right now it is in Louisville, KY awaiting shipment to our place.

Blackberry versus Apple iPhone?

lrbee — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:25:47 +0000

I just read an interesting article over at Yahoo Finance by Mike Schuster called Why Blackberry Users Will Defect. I don’t necessarily agree with Mr. Schuster but he does have a couple of good points. In particular the recrational use of the smartphone. Who would have imagined a few short years ago all of the things you could do with a cell phone Today it seems people spend more time time texting and emailing than they actually do talking on their phones. The cell phone is fact has evolved into much more of a recreational and communcation device than a phone. Plasma TV . My biggest problem with the touch screen phones is they suck battery life at an incredible rate. Unless I’m in an area where I am constantly on a roaming signal I rarely run out of battery in my Blackberry Curve. With the recent article by the Wall Street Journal indicating that Apple if going to produce an iPhone for the Verizon network we may finally see erosion of RIM’s marketshare with the Blackberry.

According the the article the agreement and release of the new phones could come as soon as this year.
