I came here through a link from this forum
https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/882524 and I have to say that I appreciate the info here. I noticed that someone else posted a link just above for a petition that they found.
I'd like to share a poll that I created:
VerizonWP7 > Home
I spoke with an Executive Assistant from Verizon's Southeast Region offices in Alpharetta, GA, about 45 minutes from me, this morning, and told her about the poll, and told her that it only had about 500 responses at that point, though I realize that to Verizon that's a small number, I'm a nobody with no name recognition and no way to get it out other than twitter, and she stopped me right there and said that no, 500 voices is a lot of voices, and she appreciates that, and will take a look. She will be passing this info on.
That's the short story here, but the longer version is here:

and here:
Looking at Nokia
So who knows. Maybe the determination was already made before I ever started anything, but the woman that I've talked with at Verizon's exec office here several times over the past year and a half has given me the impression that they want to listen. That doesn't mean I think they really are, as their silence lately has sure seemed anti-consumer, and has caused a lot of us to light torches and grab pitch forks, but if Mr. MacPhisto's information proves true, then perhaps there was a reason for their silence. Not that I like it any better, but at least we'll end up with what we wanted.
In the mean time, if you could go to my survey, answer the three questions (if you are/want to be a Verizon customer), and pass along the link on twitter/facebook, I'd appreciate it. Verizon has at least one executive that is aware of that poll, and WILL be taking a look at it. Let's give them as much data to look at as we can. I just checked a minute ago, and I'm up to 584 votes, and that's in less than 4 days, for a nobody like me. Not bad, I'd say. Help me out. Thanks!
