I always know that if I ever have an emergency situation, my cell phone will work.

I would in some of the most remote areas in the US, and I can tell you, VERIZON is the ONLY service which I can count on. I always know that if I ever have an emergency situation, my cell phone will work. As for CDMA or GSM, I now own the Verizon Blackberry 8830 GLobal Phone. This will work, not only in the US but where ever either CDMA or GSM in the world. I work for GOV/ Fed Law Enforcement and my life may depend on my cell phone. “Way to go! Verizon”

Like I said except for my work (where I am 3 days a week) they have service down the road in the town. Do I require a blackberry at work… NO it’s a convience that I have to learn to live w/o when I’m there. Life is give and take and if I have to give while I’m at work but take when I’m home it pays off. I should mention I’m not a world travler either so that doesn’t bother me. They have 3G which makes browsing larger web sites on my blackberry a little more enjoyable and less time consuming. I’m not looking for an arguement and everyone has different experiences I’m just stating mine.

Whats that? verizon doesn’t have service where you work? verizon’s closed, proprietary, anti-consumer, network which is not available around the globe, OR at your place of work and you have to suffer with 2 generation old RIM devices? More magic….

Because VERIZON’s blackberrys are 3G. I’m not going to pay more money for EDGE and not get 3G. Maybe if they had wifi. BUt no. ALthough the one perk of Cingy is that where I work (the sticks) they do get service in 1 spot out back w/o having to go in to town like verizon does. NOTE I WORK IN THE BOONIES.

We appreciate your commentary, and your desire to keep us honest. However, I feel we should mention that, although Thought rocks Verizon, the rest of the BBCool staff uses Rogers — a CANADIAN GSM CARRIER.

Love the debate, though, guys. Let’s keep it going.

Too bad those at BlackberryCool time after time can’t leave personal fantasy’s of verizon alone in fantasy world, and keep whining for the day (that will never come) when RIM or any other manufacture takes verizon and cdma seriously. Global wireless subscribers numbers tell the tale why. GSM is growing, cdma is falling.
