Why Doesn’t Verizon Support VCast On Their BlackBerrys?

by Robb Dunewood on May 21, 2008 · 58 comments

As big a fan as I am of Verizon’s network, I’ve never really understood why the do some of the things they do. Some of their practices just plain don’t make sense. At least not to me.

We know that Verizon locks the GPS down in their BlackBerrys. We may not like it, however, they can and do charge you a premium to use their brand GPS service. I understand this… Don’t like it, but, understand it.

Conversely, Verizon BlackBerry users don’t have any access to VCast, Verizon’s 3G streaming media service. It is safe to say that both the BlackBerry Pearl and the BlackBerry Curve are attractive to consumers… Consumers who are more likely to pay for VCast than those who pay for VZNavigator. Why doesn’t Verizon offer these services? This, I don’t understand.

    Not to interrupt ur guys’s love fest over here but my mom is one those ,
    ‘Hip’ executives with a blackberry. I ,however, am one of those kids with the krzrs. Well, my mom has decided 2 put the carseat in the porche. She needs vcast. Or more specificly vcast song Id. it listons 2 10 second of music then tells u the name and artist. Do any of u managers, bullies, or bb lovers know of a simmaler porgram 4 me?

    Thanks

    i have the blackberry pearl, and im not a buisness woman i’m just a kid.
    i know it’s meant for that shit, but honestly did everyone think that the phone wouldn’t attract younger people too? it’s pink..
    i think it should have vcast.
    it’s bullshit not to have ringtones that you can actually hear right.
    just because someone is a buisness woman doesn’t mean she couldn’t want a good ringtone or something ?
    vcast isn’t a toy if you ask me, it’s convienient.
    this is gay.

    Alonzo, you are a jack ass. You use the exclamation point way too much. Most of the people who have blackberry’s are NOT business people on the go. They are the techy generation. Get your head out of your rear, and shut your mouth you piece of Verizon employee trash. Kryton, as for you, go back to scho0l and learn how to read and write.

    After reading Kryton’s message again, I realize just how dumb this idiot must be. I bet you cut the grass with scissors, and your hair with a lawnmower.
