Has VZ wireless lost their F@$KEN mind!?!
VZ Wireless passed on the iPhone!?! Seriously, if i were a VZ investor i would really question management’s decision making ability on this one.
Did they not see the phone? Did they really think it will be eclipsed by a better design from another ‘me too’ phone from another maker???
I read this story in the morning and thought nothing of it, but then I read another article where VZ spokes person stated other manufacturers were coming out with very compelling designs. VERY COMPELLING DESIGNS!?! YOU TURNED DOWN THE REVOLUTIONARY ONE TO CHOOSE A COMPELLING ONE?!?!
The day they turned their back on this phone is the day they lost market share to AT&T. Albeit i would of loved to see the phone on VZ’s high speed network, IMO it would of rocked. But AT&T’s is okay, i guess, the WiFi makes up for the slower speed network of AT&T.
FYI… i’m a Verizon user that wanted to get a Treo w/VZ’s data plan, but ever since the iPhone came out I decided to wait. I will switch to AT&T in a few months w/the purchase of the iPhone. (IMO, a lot of VZ’s subs will do this.)
what a stupid, stupid mistake… stupid. Not to mention the added subs they would have gotten, but also the iPhone would have been the catalyst for an increased number of Data users.
WOW, the lack of foresight is mind blowing.
