Verizon INpulse takes a step back towards sanity

12 July 2008 at 3:08 am · Filed under Announcements, Last Thursdayism, Messaging & Multi-Media, Pop Culture ·Tagged , , ,

Well, when Verizon’s INpulse service first came out, it was great. I even considered it. A dollar a day got you unlimited talk & text to other Verizon customers, plus unlimited nights to anyone else, and just 10c per minute to the others. Well, first they dropped the texting, and then as of Last Thursday, they just went completely down the shitter.

Well, I have some good news for y’all (god i cant believe i just typed that, i hate that word with a passion). Verizon is offering a new option for its prepaid customers.

Verizon begins offering My Circle after purchase of Alltel

20 June 2008 at 1:40 am · Filed under Announcements, Miscellany ·Tagged , , , , ,

I think we all saw this coming, after all, Verizon wouldn’t just push away all the greatness of alltel into a dust-laden corner. I had a feeling Verizon would do something like this.

Well okay, maybe they didn’t exactly come right out and offer My Circle, but it’s a baby step.  On Verizon business plans, you can call your 5 favorite numbers for only an additional $4.99/mo.  Sounds pretty snazzy to me, and alot more simpler than T-Mo’s MyFaves.

Wondering when it will be offered to all Verizon customers? So do I.

Palm Centro comes to Verizon

16 June 2008 at 3:17 am · Filed under 3G, Announcements ·Tagged , , , , , , , ,

As of Friday, Verizon has followed competitors Sprint and AT&T by adding the Palm Centro to its line-up. All I’m hoping is that T-Mobile will pick it up too, because I’d buy that thing in a heartbeat. I’d be sitting around waiting for my SideKick to break. But for now I guess I’ll just have to wait.

My good friend Kuba just got one of these, the white and green from AT&T. And even though I may despise them, I cant help but be sooo jealous of him! Jesus fucking christ, I really want one of these :( .

The Centro is sporting a navy blue finish, which i cant help but get turned on by and wish it were my own. And with Verizon’s high speed EV-DO running on that thing, i can’t help but scream with envy. And to top the icing on the cake – no Verizon firmware! The Palm OS has been left intact! Wooo. Definantely beyond happy here, I would definantly consider getting on a share plan with my sister for this one.

Come on now T-Mobile, we’re waiting on you.

Verizon acquires Alltel

16 June 2008 at 12:54 am · Filed under Announcements ·Tagged , , , , , ,

When I first heard this note from a CBS mobile news alert, i fell out of my chair. It’s fucking crazy. It might not affect me much because Alltel doesn’t cover my area anyway, but Alltel was one damn nice carrier. And their UPrepaid (I wonder how much longer this link will last) was the shit yo. It just hurts me inside to know that ugly-ass big red is taking control of such a nice little company, with such potential. We have one message for you Verizon, suck it.
