Just got off the phone with Verizon Wireless and I asked about new phones they might be getting. The woman said that there is "speculation" about Verizon carrying the Pre but nothing concrete and I shouldn't count on it.
She flat out said that as far as she knows Verizon will NOT carry the iPhone. She said that was all rumors and it was probably not going to happen.
I asked about Android phones and she said she had not heard about that, but in terms of possibilities it was somewhere between the Pre (a matter of time) and the iPhone (not likely.)
She recommended the Blackberry Tour. I'm not a big Blackberry fan. We'll wait and see I guess.

Blackberry vs Treo
Lately I've been thinking about trading in my Treo for a Blackberry. I've been trying to do some research on the two of them and stumbled across this article today, which isn't about Treos but about iPhone vs Blackberry.
The feedback I've gotten from people who have used both phones is that the Blackberry user interface is nicer, but it has some drawbacks - namely the lack of a touch screen and the lack of threaded SMS.
I haven't been able to find much about the threaded SMS online. I get the impression that Blackberry user's don't know how the Treo handles SMS because the reply is usually, "it does do it." But while they have come up with a way to sort of do it, it defeats the whole purpose of keeping things clean and simple. I am shocked that someone has not written a Blackberry app to do that.
Anyway I will be sticking with my Treo for now. Hopefully soon Blackberry will add this feature. I could live without the touch screen, although I love my Palm touch screen, but the threaded SMS I can not do.

More Junk for Thursday
Excuses people give to the cops when they are busted for speeding. I was once in a car with someone who was doing about 90 mph in a 65 mph zone and when she got pulled over she was shocked. She thought people didn't get pulled over unless they were going 100 mph or faster. She told the cop this. He gave her a ticket.
Count Bismarck died the way I hope to die (and almost did in the past).
And finally! Someone puts a name to something I've been experiencing for years. Phantom vibration of your cell phone. Via Valleywag.
Also from Valleywag, some insight on the Facebook/Microsoft/insane-valuation stuff. Pretty good insight, at that.
And an utterly bizarre and random video of some girl in the 80s doing a really bad job of playing Star Wars on the trumpet. Much funnier than it sounds. Or, not really, actually.
