That's how they all sound. Get a grip people, just get over it.

Is my Verizon Blackberry that can't do simultaneous voice & data truly a Blackberry?

I personally have never had to look something up online *while* on a phone call. And I can't be the only one. Verizon is still in business, selling millions of Droids over the last 9 months. And none of those Droids can do Voice + Data at the same time... it must not be a problem after all.

Voice + Data is a strawman argument. It's not as big a deal as Luke Wilson makes it out to be.]]>Aug 16th 2010 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/Aug 16th 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/Aug 16th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/

No one is making you leave AT&T for Verizon. Stay on AT&T if it makes you happy.

-- "when i was traveling i got a international data plan for the iphone for about 200mb, i went way over like at 1gb, so the bill was obviously a lot. All i had to do was call them and tell them i didnt know i went over and they cut all of it off and made it seem as if i had the 1gb.... now thats customer service....."

So you screwed up, and AT&T fixed it. So that one example makes AT&T soooo much better than Verizon?

I've never had to call Verizon customer service. But while customer service is an important thing... how often do you have to call them?

If you call customer service once, maybe twice, a year... I don't think it's a big deal. If I was going to a restaurant a couple times a MONTH and the customer service was bad... then that would be a problem. But I've never had to call any company more than once to fix something.

Basing your buying decision on customer service is like saying: "I only buy this brand of car because every month when my car breaks, they fix it"]]>Aug 16th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/Didn't the iPhone just get simultaneous voice and data with ios4?

Aside from a CDMA iPhone, I'd like to know why the iPhone still doesn't have the AWS/1700 band inside.... I'm starting to come to the conclusion that there is some kind of secret hate for Magenta at Apple....

It's not that they have to promote the device for working with T-Mobile but damn, why NOT have it in there?]]>Aug 16th 2010 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/
What they just implemented was multitasking, have nothing to do with the providers network allowing the user to use voice and data at the same time. Being on a call and doing things like checking a website for a restaurant for instance. Or running GPS and voice. The iPhone always had this being on AT&T's network, Verizon and Sprint with CDMA can't.

Studies after studies show we are using more data than ever before, and at times in substitute of voice (social, tweets, facebook, IM, email). I couldn't imagine not being able to simple check on a website while talking to a friend. ]]>Aug 16th 2010 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/
I think Apple's seen the writing on the wall, and they have no choice but expand carriers or they're going to end up in another 5% niche marketshare like their desktop/laptop products while Android and possibly WP7 continue to grow and swallow up all the little fish on the way.]]>Aug 16th 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/
Studies also show that Android is growing faster than the iPhone... and who has the most Android phones? Verizon and Sprint... CDMA networks.

It may be an annoyance that you can't talk and surf the web at the same time... but all those people walking out of a Verizon store with a shiny new Droid must not mind.

And didn't a recent study show that Verizon customers use more data than AT&T customers? I guess you can use more data if you're not talking on the phone.]]>Aug 16th 2010 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/Aug 16th 2010 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/I look stuff up all the time while in a call. Most of the time it's for my partner who does not have a smartphone. He'll call for directions, we'll discuss which restaurants we want to eat at while I look at yelp reviews, I'll look up a phone number for him, etc. Myself, I can do things that require an Internet connection while listening to someone on the phone, a.k.a. multitasking. It can be a time saver when you are stuck in a boring and unproductive conversation.]]>Aug 16th 2010 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/Aug 16th 2010 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/
I wonder how many of those new Verizon/Android users knew beforehand that their phones won't be able to do what I consider basics for a "smart phone", in 2010? I think many coming from dumb phones just don't know. And those that do just put up with it already being locked in a long contract.

Seriously CDMA is old technology created in the days of feature brick phones where voice took precedence, and web, apps and other data was none existence. Now the scale have shifted were we use more data today than voice (sure 50 different Android phones collectively can pass the 1 iPhone in data usage). What do you do when you make a call with your Droid and you're on a long hold, you just twiddle your thumbs? I load the web or app to check on important relevant info.

Obviously it's to talk on the phone and then pull your phone away from your ear to check sports scores, but if I'm tethering this is a good argument.

Whoops CDMA fails again. Remind me why the rest of the world isn't using it?]]>Aug 17th 2010 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/

I mean, what's the point of releasing a new iPhone every year on the dot when most consumers are stuck in 24 month contracts.

How about every 18 months instead?]]>Aug 16th 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/Aug 16th 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/
Because, you don't HAVE to upgrade every new iteration. But, it's nice to have that choice if you have the funds. In fact, some argue they don't update enough in today's tech-advancing world. A lot of people would be happy with 6 month updates. Plus, there's eBay to sell, add a bit and get new.]]>Aug 16th 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-ipad-model-codes-set-up-for-itunes-activation-bypass/Thats why ATT offers early upgrades for the iPhone every time a new one is out.

Ummm, VZW isn't phasing out their CDMA network ANY time soon. Verizon's LTE & EvDO network will run concurrently for years to come.

Also, guess what, Sprint is CDMA also.
