Default Hey everyone

Hey guys, i'm back.. probly a diff name or something been inactive for awhile.. Hmmmm

Anywho... Any new info on the Alltel Att buyout? I know here in good old SD, verizon cant buy alltel due to monopolization. So ATT is going to get it.. Well i've been trying to find info on when this will finalize, weather i need to buy a new phone with ATT and my contract carries over, or my contract gets cancled and i can go anywhere I want to go.. Im looking into other smart phones while all this goes through and hear something about the storm 2. hope they fix the slugeshness and wish they would get rid of the screen click down thing.. But any info??

Welcome back...I think shrekfx81 was the screen name you had been using if you want to return to it it still seems to be active.

The Storm 2 had been discussed a bit here, but it is a bit too early to know much.

The SurePress clicking looks to be toast and is probably one major change in the next version. WiFi is also rumored to be a part of the mix. Could be VZW's first BB with WiFi.

Don't be away so long you forget your screen name again.....

And I thought that VZW completed the buyout of Alltel in February......

Well call me a monkey's uncle.. LOL thought i tried this login. LOL oh well..

Anyways. To your resonse on vzw and alltel, that is true.. But in some states, i think there are 11 in total, vzw cant take control for they will be a monoply in that stat (this is not including your small cell phone services... For example.. here in SD, we got to my knowlage, vzw, sprint, and alltel (with long lines wireless and maybe some very very small regional stuff). well sprint here dont count for it only works for like a 50 miles radius.. so since alltel sold to vzw, they would be a monopoly here in SD, same for some other states, so the FCC told them they have to sell that part to the next highest bidder, which would be AT&T.. And there is where my delima hits..

So far as i know.. alltel phones wont work on att systems for they are diff, cdma to what ever they use.. But i also asked a vzw rep and he said my blackberry wont work on vzw system as well and i have to get a new phone anyways.. Sooo i was debated on AT&t and Vzw.. phones i have in mind are the iphone from att, or the samsung omnia (kinda nice, dont like the win mob part, never been a fan of it) or the storm 2, if they get the bugs and the dumb screnn click down thingy out of there.
