There's a storm brewing...

My theory is that Skype will be used in portrait more often (with the kickstand) and thats why its on the side. Although putting it on the other side would solve everything.

This is what the data tiers should be:

$10 gets you 1GB
$20 gets you 5 GB
$30 gets you Unlimited Data

Thank me if you agree

Thanked by Bennnnn...

maybe he agrees, or maybe something else...

yeah, it seems that they want you to buy as many docks as possible. That's why after purchasing both docks for the OG Droid, I vowed not to purchase another device specific dock. The ROI is basically nothing.

Don't remember where I read this, but I thought the alliance agreed on microUSB (which the T-Bolt has) -- but that Apple got agreement that an included adapter was sufficient. Someone who actually knows more should correct me.

I do remember them specifically agreeing on microUSB.

i think we'd all like that, but do you think verizon would introduce tiered pricing and keep unlimited at the same price?

lol, absolutely NOT. If they did, I would become their biggest fan and spokesperson and would tell everyone I know about how amazing Verizon is. But I have a feeling I will be keeping my day job.

Tiered pricing will more than likely be something along the lines of...

2GB = $25
5GB = $40

 

[corn4ahead]

first of all, more than half of the country doesnt have 4G so i dont see how VZW can justify tiered data until more widely available.

 

[Green_Laser]

We are concentrating on something else for the time being. This phone is coming. There is no need to worry.

skype?

baked into OS, not baked, not going to be available, oven broken?

I could live with that. I only used about 300MB last month and that's pretty typical. I have wifi access at home and work so probably 95% of my usage is on wifi. Surprised I actually use that much unless something is bleeding over and using verizon data.

Hes talking about being busy with the Ipad 2 launch. :-[

I'm sticking to the 17th as well, I talked to my guy at the Verizon store I go to, and he slipped up and said the 17th. So Idk most signs point to that day, I'm hoping for it.

 

[SFGiants 2010]

I used my professors laptop today that was connected to LTE with a usb aircard...and wow, if that is any indication of the speeds we'll be getting on the tbolt, then we're all in for a treat.

I can only speak for San Francisco but I was getting speeds of 18 mps down consistantly.

yeah i know.
i was only catching up on some older posts of his as i was gone all yesterday and part of monday.
he initially said he would look into it (skype) and find out for me a few days ago.
but just like him, i too have to get back to work!

That's what I'm talkin bout!

yea, me too. Hopin on hope its the 17th. All the hints and rumors and tips really point to the 17th.

now i definitely dont believe there are any problems with lte. If you can use the wireless cards for computers then lte is ready...Verzon is playing us!!!

BMX hinted a while back that the issue was LTE handoff. Something along the lines of when you are using LTE and then drop off 4G to a 3G tower, your phone not only lost the call, it completely rebooted instantly! No bueno...

So 4G data card modems work fine. It was the transfer between 4G and 3G on a phone modem that was the problem

But they say it's all fixed now, though, so...
