Steve Jobs must be c|net's sugardaddy
First:
"Maybe I am being a bit too harsh, but I wasn't really blown away by any of the phones that Verizon showed off."
WOW, are you an Apple employee? I would like to see a wee bit use of objectivity. OK, so the LG models won't kill the iPhone, I'll grant you that. For the Verizon Wireless executive to even say so is rubbish. However, you fail to compare the EVO vs. the EDGE networks. In fact you mention the 3G only in passing like it isn't that big of a deal. I know many power users who are bummed that Apple and AT&T missed that mark myself included. Usually an Apple enthusiast myself, I am waiting for the 3G version iPhone 2.0 release but the LG Voyager certainly does entice due to data transfer speed alone.
Then there's this:
"Honestly, I had a hard time figuring out how to open it and someone had to show me."
Marguerite Reardon, I think I would refrain from disqualifying statements like this if you want us (the readers) to lend you respect as an authority on technology. Otherwise you just come off sounding like another Verizon hater.
