Any new bluetooth phones soon?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Just got off the phone with customer service (not real happy with them
right now), and they told me that there should be a few new bluetooth
phones coming out in the next few weeks in time for the holidays. She
wouldn't give me any additional details, however.

As a side note, she told me that I was not eligible for a full $100 NE2
credit because I had originally signed a 1 year contract. (She would
only give me $70) Since I've had my phone for over 2 years, and have
been a customer for over 5, this really makes absolutely no sense to
me. I can understand them not giving the full $100 to someone who
doesn't sign a new 2 year agreement going forward, but why should they
care what I've had in the past, as long as I've had the phone for 2
years? Bizarre.

I have been a VZW customer for over 5 years as well, and spend over
$2000/year on phone bills. No special deals here either.

It seems VZW will bend over backwards to get you as a new customer but don't
care once you're a customer.

that stinks. when I got my phone, I was out of my 1 year contract, but the
guy offered me the new every 2 100 bucks, since I had the phone for almost 2
years. It really just depends who you talk to.

There is this Nokia:

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=515

The forum claims it will be on VZW, with the usual "insider"
information, although that may be wishful thinking. I do
note that the phone is full of features that users want but
make VZW fear for the survival of their business.

Thanks for the info, I hadn't seen that one. Looks a
little smaller (good) but some features not as good
(screen, camera).

I'm hoping for LG phone, as I've like their interface/features
in the past.

I've been eyeing a V710 for a bit now,
but because of the VZW lobotomy I have held off.
Maybe this is a viable alternative?

They are pretty clear about the NE2 program. They use it to encourage you
to sign a 2 year contract. If everyone could sign consecutive one year
contracts or merely be a customer for 2 years then their purpose would be
defeated. I am surrprised they even gave you the $70.
