this is EXACTLY the problem, especially the "released nothing" part.

like i said before, if you feel VZW doesn't owe YOU anything, cool. they owe ME the opportunity to use my NE2 on a device better than the one I have now. and the clock is ticking. we all have until January to use NE2 or we lose it.

who the hell would enter into a TWO-YEAR agreement without NE2? in this program you sign up for years, maintain a more expensive monthly plan and keep your phone until its outdated for the BENEFIT of saving on an UPGRADE. not just the purchase of a new phone, but an upgrade (their terminology). and mrailing, seriously, if VZW had any viable upgrade options to the i730 you would have already done so. so while you're carrying this company's water with your words, your actions show that you know nothing in their roster suffices on any level, or fulfills their NE2 obligations.

again, i'll link to this. it's very clear: Verizon Wireless

"Now Verizon Wireless has a way to ensure that you'll always have a MORE ADVANCED phone, no matter how technology changes."

"Our New Every Two program can provide you with the LATEST in digital phone technology every two years. And Verizon Wireless is the first company to offer it."

"No matter what the future advancements in mobile communications might be, you'll always have the option to enjoy the latest features available."

i assume those words go for PDA customers as well.

bottom line: you know and i know you will not be happy with the i760 in 2009, probably not even mid-2008. that's for sure. and this will all start again.

KAISER!
