Re: I'm not seeing a Wireless problem on stock market "With the latest research showing more and more people migrating to cellular service over POTS lines, then I see the wireless companies doing o.k."
Verizon and AT&T are the two big POTS companies. I think the latest numbers show their wireless increases are roughly comparable to their wireline losses. |

And I know Verizon (not sure about ATT) treats their wireless division as a separate entity for the most part. Are Verizon Wireless people unionized? |

Too late for Verizon with the iPhone. I'm switching carriers to TMo at the end of this billing cycle as I wanted a smart phone, and not a closed system. So, the Android G1 was the only choice. I'm sure Verizon's designers are hard at work uglyfying the iPhone interface as they do with every single phone they sell. That,and crippling functionality.
I don't care about the ETF either-I'm glad to be rid of mediocre phones, which is all V offers. If AT&T bans a tethering app, your SOL. If Tmobile bans it, you download it from somewhere else. |

If you are so informed, then why don't you know that VZW doesn't change the the blackberry interface or for that matter, any of the new touch screen phones.
Now, I'm not defending Verizon for their GPS crippling or lack of Wifi on certain phones but the grass isn't always greener on the other side. |

College Station, TX | Actually, going the route of a Blackberry or a G1 is a better choice. He does not want an iPhone because Apple has to be in total control of everything. Verizon cannot mess with the Blackberry because RIM develops the Blackberry software and releases it for each carrier. |

College Station, TX | Well he will not be an Apple god for much longer. His health, from what the rumors are, is not well. When he resigns, I imagine Apple's stock will take a very big hit. |
