Alltel-Verizon Integration Jun 24th, 2009 1 Post(s) Reply

I was wondering about the buy out of Alltel by Verizon. Does that mean that current Alltel customers will become Verizon customers? If so, when will this take place?

  Re: Alltel-Verizon Integration Jun 25th, 2009 0 Post(s) Reply Great question. Most Alltel Wireless customers will be converted to Verizon Wireless in the upcoming months with no additional effort by the customer. However, as part of the regulatory approval process, a select number of ZIP codes in which both Alltel and Verizon Wireless offer service will not merge carriers. In other words, Alltel customers in those ZIP codes will remain Alltel customers unless they voluntarily change carriers (early termination fees may apply). For those of you that are in integrated ZIP codes, you can choose to keep your Alltel cell phone or purchase a Verizon Wireless device. If you choose to change to Verizon Wireless before the official conversion, you may face early termination fees from Alltel Wireless. Hope this helps.

Ok I've seen where this phone has WiFi on other sites. Also, the guy in the video says it has WiFi.

  Re: Out of country Aug 3rd, 2009 0 Post(s) Reply Unfortunately, the Omnia will not work outside of the U.S. It is exclusively a CDMA technology phone and therefore cannot be used on GSM frequencies outside of the U.S. If you are interested in a phone that you can use internationally, Verizon's Tour, Storm, Ozone, Renown, and Saga all have GSM capabilities.

required plans... Sep 27th, 2009 1 Post(s) Reply

I noticed that if I were to buy a blackberry device, I'd have to sign up for a contract requiring web service @ a rate of around $80 per month. Is this true for all smartphones from Verizon or just the Blackberry devices?

  Re: required plans... Sep 28th, 2009 0 Post(s) Reply Technically, the data requirements for all Verizon Smartphone and BlackBerry devices are are same -- Either a $30 monthly fee for unlimited data and personal web-based email, or a $45 monthly fee for unlimited data, personal web-based email, and corporate email. Therefore, the cheapest option on either the Omnia or a Blackberry would be $70 per month ($39.99 for a Basic 450 plan and $30 for unlimited data).

I am interested in finding out if I can use this phone without the data plan. I want it for excel and the camera mostly, but not the internet.

  Re: Samsung omnia Oct 12th, 2009 0 Post(s) Reply Unfortunately, Verizon Wireless requires that you use purchase a monthly data plan with the Omnia. I think you're going to run into this problem with any Verizon device that is capable of reading and editing xls files.

compare to windows mobile 6.5 Oct 27th, 2009 1 Post(s) Reply

How do Windows mobile 6.1 and 6.5 differ. Is the Omnia upgradable to 6.5?

  Re: compare to windows mobile 6.5 Oct 27th, 2009 0 Post(s) Reply There are not large differences, primarily 6.5 has a new home screen and a menu more geared towards touchscreens intended for using a finger rather than a stylus - as well a running a little more quickly and some changes in user experience. While there still may be more announcements regarding upgrades, the Samsung Omnia™ is not currently expected to receive one. The Samsung Omnia™ 2 will be upgradeable.
