News flash: Steve Jobs is aging

this is why Verzion atleast there cellphone service Sucks! a Crapy Ceo for a crapy company and i cant wait to get out of my Verizon contract in a few more weeks hopefulyl days.

Jarts never went out of fashion! They were banned, which only made them cooler!

Dear Verizon Wireless,

By turning down the most innovative new phone that has ever seen daylight you have failed to partner with a company that has revolutionized the industry. You have done a great disservice to yourselves and to your customer base. I fight chortles of laughter every time you lose a customer because between your shoddy customer service and your unwillingness to partner with Apple you certainly deserve to lose customers. You overcharge us for service, your stores lack support or empathy when problems arise and quite frankly I am surprised that you don't charge a cover charge to go into your stores. You have pissed down the back of every customer that you service. It wont be long until you run off all of Alltel's customer base now that you spent the money you have gotten by nickel and diming your own subscribers to buy the rights to service (screw) them as well.

Now comes forth this new drivel about the handset that is revolutionizing the entire wireless world as we know it. You refer to this as a fad that you will ride out until we all return to our senses and see that your CDMA "camera phone" is the most boss handset ever. All the while you are praying to RIM to please hurry up with the Blackberry Thunder so you can offer something other than that ugly, thick as two decks of cards LG turd that you offer to compete with the iPhone. Even Sprint, as pathetic as they are have at least a decent subpar device to offer in the Samsung Instinct.

Here is how sick you make me Verizon Wireless: I am going to cancel my contract, in July, the day I get an iPhone and I don't even have service at my home address. I have resolved to use my unlimited home phone and a prepaid Virgin Mobile for errands in my neighborhood. Just so I don't have to endure dealing with your company, who is riding out this whole, "iPhone" ordeal.

Good luck with your "camera phone" ads and your other handsets that have no improved features since the 1990s. You truly deserve to be vanquished by a company whose collective head is not buried up its hindquarters. For all the shortcomings of AT&T, at least they knew a good deal when they saw it, and didn't deny their customers the mobile experience it was meant to be.

Your phones suck, your Blackberries with their fragile trackballs, your camera phones, your phones that slide apart two ways with the tiny screens, your juke, your chocolate, I would rather use a Motorola Startac or carry around a bag phone. By the time you dislodge your head from where it resides now, it will be much too late. Switching to LTE will be your last chance at redemption, then at least your phones wont suck and you might still keep a few customers around to plunder.

Verizon as a company is so poorly managed it's amazing they are still in business. If the BOD were smart they'd axe Ivan and his entire executive staff. They have been wasting money on more vaporware and crap projects than I've ever laid eyes on in one company. They hide it by having different business entities fund these projects from year-to-year.

About the only one worth keeping would be John Stratton and his inner circle. They seem to understand the current market. If Verizon relies on Stratton there is hope. If not the Verizon collapse will make Enron look like a Pixar film.

He's basically saying the iPhone is a Fad, Right? Well I seem to rememeber a good 5 or so years ago, and again 4 years ago, ect, ect. people saying similar things about the iPod, yet every year they sell more and more. Humm. Trend?

Well, the "sit and wait" strategy has served the Bell System and its descendants (hello, Verizon) very well over the last century. I mean, where are the innovations from them, really? I waited decades for the Bell Picture Phone, only to have Steve Jobs include it (for free!) on my laptop.

This is the same strategy that America has had with the Castro regime for the past 48 years!

"Why it's.....BRILLIANT!"

+1 to Dave for "Waiting For Godot" reference.

Yeah, just forget about what your customers want. If you ignore them long enough they'll quiet down.
