No kidding... just look at any Windows phone offered by any other carrier. Mid and high range options... VZW... same phone three different looks... I mean, really? 2 hour waits in local stores, willfully ignoring customer wants for corporate lobbying. This is how companies end up in trouble acting liek they cant figure out how this happened to them... well... here you are...
Do i want that, no, but honestly.... its not up to me. This is just bad practices. I think everyone in here is trying to advise VZW to FINALLY do better. Theres a reson the Trophy didnt do better, it has nothing to do with WP7 popularity and everything to do with the trphy being hardware wise, a piece of junk. This is marginally better, so DUH... same outcome. Honestly, anyone with 2 minutes and rudimentary skills could do the market research on this since forums across the net are filled with people leaving, threatening to leave, and lamenting there being no real choice.
Just, for the love of god... business 101.. give the customer what they want and they will buy it. A kid with a lemonade stands gets this.
