oh me too, I have the v710, and I would love to see verizon start getting serious about their phones, do you really think they will do it though?

Sprint isn't the only company Verizon has it's eye on. They also are looking at MCI...as is Quest. Article

we shall see, I would love to see a merger but I would also like to move to cingular as verizon is way too controling everything they have cost money, they launch vcast (videos on demand) for 15 a month, but oh wait to get any of them, you have to pay 3.99 a video, 1.99 a mp3, get off of it verizon! I know they need to make money but dang it at least let us put our own games or mp3s on our phone like everyone else

I can't say I'm a big fan of Verizon. For one when researching the phones it seems like most of the ones they carry are crap unless you want to spend $300 for the Motorola which I did buy a similar phone but thats not the point most people don't want to spend that on a phone. The only thing I think Verizon has going for them is that they seem to have good coverage. I have also read several reports of on the bluetooth phones that they wont let you sync it with your computer. If I'm going to pay $300 for a phone I want to use the bluetooth. I have ATT Wireless and a Nokia 6820 that I got when they were new and like it and don't use the bluetooth all that often but have before and like having it. Verizon seems to charge for every little thing while other companys don't.

I would prefer Verizon not buy anybody.

Don't forget, Cingular is part of SBC, the other Borg in the Telco industry.
