“You’d also do yourself a favor to try to post on topic, and not at others posts which are troubling to you since they point out the truth.”

yet you keep trying to ‘educate’ others on how they should post, a la:

to heckyes: “Why post “most of us”? I post for myself, you post for no one but yourself.”

did you think that maybe heckyes has talked to other people who post here? I doubt it. I’m glad you have your own opionion, but belittling others just to further emphasize your point makes you seem less credible each time you do it.

Why post “most of us”? I post for myself, you post for no one but yourself. Call it what ever you feel makes the truth less hurtful to yourself, but it doesn’t make the truth go away. As a consumer the truth should matter more than the desperate attempts to defend a service provider which is doing the wrongs. Your right I do like GSM. (so does RIM) cdma and verizon had my support at one time but lost it. However everybody is free to chose which technology to support, that doesn’t then mean it’s OK to pine away desperate for RIM to provide cdma devices or bitch and moan when verizon’s firmware games screw up your user experience with your cdma blackberry (or Palm)

You’d also do yourself a favor to try to post on topic, and not at others posts which are troubling to you since they point out the truth.

gquaglia, nope wrong again. Ask WHY the verizon, palm firmware is having problems, there are reasons some of which I posted. Not once did I say “cdma sucks and GSM rules” but thanks for breaking it down for everyone, and putting it into your own words. Gosh don’t know what we’ll do when your back at school full time.

Guess such a scholar like yourself has no problems when service providers alters, cripples, changes, remove functions, applications, and ability’s from our devices? Did you ever take it one step further to think, understand, and learn that when the provider makes changes to the manufactures tested firmware problems and errors have a very good chance to become reality. Facts show it has happened before with verizon’s firmware games, and it’s happening yet again. If unknowing verzion RIM Blackberry fans are fine with verizon crippling functions like autonomous GPS, thats all fine and good, but when the problems start with the 8830 and the fingers start pointing (just like between verizon and Moto, and verizon and Palm) there is no easy fix and the consumer gets screwed. The consumer also gets screwed when manufactures like RIM design functions like autonomous GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc, etc and the service provider cripples and removes them. It’s bad for the consumer and it’s bad for the manufacture. These verizon crippling actions make devices less than designed by RIM (Palm in this case) and these verizon crippling actions make devices less reliable. Manufactures design and make the devices, the service provider should provide the service and nothing else.

gquaglia again do yourself a favor, try to post on topic, and not at others posts which are troubling to you since they point out the truth. Read, Understand, Learn.

The key is that both camps are using BlackBerry devices which has RIM smiling all the way to the bank.

Guess the truth about cdma and verizon is both difficult and and upsetting to some.
