? New Verizon iPhone Better or Just Better Network?

OK, so I have been waiting almost 4 years to get an iPhone, staying with Verizon all this time. I threw away a perfectly good Motorola Razor, or whatever it is called, cell phone on Monday. Within my limited reception area I now have much better reception at all locations inside my house (previously marginal or zero in some rooms).
So, is the new Verizon iPhone 4 somehow better than other phones or what? When it came out on the ATT network there were instantly many threads complaining about numerous issues. This is not the case right now. Should I be real happy that I now have a superior product on a superior network?

Yep, go pop the cork from the champagne, pat yourself on the back and enjoy your iPhone.

EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT FOR NEW VERIZON iPHONE 4 CUSTOMERS

Not quite sure if my employee discount will apply to the voice plan that I am considering purchasing. Will iphone 4 purchasers be allowed an employee discount, all of the other phones allow this - very confusing. Any information on how to apply an employee discount to a new verizon iphone 4 customer's account at checkout or after would be appreciated.

you go here and check if your work email works if not you need to follow the instructions of faxing some info or just go into the store and do it there.

Old iPhone (2007) to new Verizon iPhone

I've had the original ATT iPhone since it first came out. Looking forward to moving to the new Verizon iPhone as soon as it arrives. I don't have a lot of apps installed on my current phone, but have all the contacts, etc. that I care about local to this current phone. What I was hoping I could request from you guys was some sort of outline/task list of things I can do, or should do, to make bringing up the new phone as easy as possible. What I'd like to do is move over my contacts, including associated pics if possible, pictures, and apps. I try to keep my google online account's contacts as clean and up to date as possible, but my phone is more clean...just wish I could sync my phone's info overtop of my google online info, but I'm not aware of a way.
So:
Can I push my phone's contact info over to Google? I'm only aware of Google to the phone. If I can push all my contact to google, then I guess I could make use of Google Sync, which I could then install on the new phone and sync google to my phone. Thoughts on this from those that have used Google Sync, or something similar.
Can I use a recent backup of my current phone stored in iTunes to "install" my new phone? And if so, how would you recommend? If I do this, do I risk the chance of bringing over something, such as an app, from my old phone to the new that should be simply re-installed to take advantage of the new phones architecture, etc.?
Having ask all of this, should I simply install my new phone manually so I make sure all apps, contacts, etc. are done correctly?
I know that's alot. If you guys can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. If there's a KB article out there, or other threads that would offer the same info, I'd appreciate the links...I looked for such but failed to find all that I was interested in.
Thanks for the help and time,
JRK

You're welcome.
Can I "push" my iPhone's contacts to my iMac's Address Book, or will asking iTunes to sync with my iMac's Address Book, and the fact that I don't have any contacts in my iMac's Address Book, wipe out my contacts on my iPhone?
Before syncing contacts with an empty Address Book, enter one contact in the Address Book on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Likewise, will syncing my iMac Address Book with Google push my iMac's Contact list to Google, or will Google push over my new iMac's Address Book?
After getting your iPhone contacts available in the Address Book on your Mac, when syncing the contacts with the Address Book on your Mac and with your Google online address book, the contacts between the two should be synced or merged. This is selected at Address Book > Preferences under the Accounts tab.
To be on the safe side before doing this, create a backup for your Address Book contacts on your Mac. At the Address Book menu bar go to File > Export and select Address Book Archive. Save the export to wherever you want on your Mac's hard drive in case you need this later to restore your Address Book contacts.
Google should provide an export option for your Google online address book which you can save to your Mac as a backup for your Google online address book before syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

Pc or itunes wont recognize new verizon iphone

Just purchased new verizon iphone. my laptop or my itunes will recognize the phone. However, it recognizes my sisters brand new ATT phone. I've changed all the cords and tried all USB...it's not that. Why does Verizon phones not work properly? What can i do?

Don't set up the device through iTunes, set it up through iCloud instead.

Can I transfer my voicemails from old att iphone to new verizon iphone?

can I transfer my voicemails from old att iphone to new verizon iphone?

Syncing won't transfer the photos. If you want to transfer you camera roll photos, as well as your other data and settings, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109. If you only are concerned with photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as shown here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and select to sync this folder to your new phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sycing your new phone.

IMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone

My iMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone. How can I get iMovie '08 to recognize my Verizon iPhone so I can import the videos of my kids from there.

You might consider upgrading to iMovie 11. It would cost about $15.
For iMovie 08, I would try to import the movies into iPhoto. Then you can access them in iMovie through the iPhoto Event.

Can i use a brand new verizon iphone 4s on tracfone byop?

can i use a brand new verizon iphone 4s on tracfone byop?
has anyone tried?

The iPhone 4S is locked to Verizon; not sure if it can be used on other domestic carriers if it is unlocked. You would need to contact both Verizon and Tracfone about this.

Compatible: iPod car charger cable with new Verizon iPhone...Safe?

Compatibility between my iPod cable in the car which is connected to a radio interface in which I plug in/ charge/play my iPod AND my new Verizon iPhone. Will the cable in the car safely charge and 'read' my iPhone? I would hate to blow this thing up But if it is compatible, it saves me much aggravation.

Hey Alan Seglin & welcome to the forums.
Whether it will work or not depends on a few things.
The biggest factor is age of the radio interface. A lot of older interfaces aren't designed with the iOS devices in mind and so do not charge them properly or allow the user to control it. What kind of iPod are you using with your stereo right now?
You may find that you can play music but have no real control over the iPhone & it may not be charged, either. You shouldn't see anything harmful happen to your stereo or your phone, though.

Can the new verizon iPhone 5s talk and surf

Can the new verizon iPhone 5s talk and surf

I don't think so, because it's a Verizon thing.
But one can only hope.

Apps and Videos won't sync with new Verizon iPhone

I have set up the new Verizon iPhone and synced it with iTunes. The music comes over to the phone no problem, but when I try and sync the Apps that were either purchased or free for our iPad or iPods won't come over to the phone. The error message is that the account is not authorized to sync. So I go and authorize the account on the computer, and it says it is already authorized, yet the sync of apps and videos will not occur.
Thoughts?

I don't think you can drag anything onto an iphone.
You have to goto the tab in itunes and select which video you want to sync.

HT204368 trying to pair jawbone bluetooth device to new 5s iphone ... just searches endlessly; what should I do?

I'm trying to pair my jawbone bluetooth device to my new 5s iphone but the phone just searches endlessly, what should I do?

to pair a headset one needs to put the headset in pair /discovery mode it's not in that constant because that would mean their battery would run out very quickly
read the manual of the headset how you put it into pairing mode

Trouble with sending texts and making calls with new Verizon iPhone 4S

A friend of mine just upgraded from a 3G on AT&T to a 4S on Verizon. She sync'd her contacts via iCloud. She is having an issue where if she takes the 1 out of a contact's name from her address book, txts don't send. If she leaves the 1 in, it doesn't recognize the name, and just lists the 1 (201) xxx-xxxx at the top instead. Worse, when making calls, if that contact does not have a 1 before the area code, it tells her her plan isn't set up for international calling and that it can't complete the call. I am on AT&T so I can't help her. My phone has the international assist option, I assume Verizon's does too.
I can edit my phone number on my AT&T phone; it appears she cannot edit hers to either add or delete the 1 before hers.
Surely this is easily fixable -- just thought I'd see if anyone knows what's going on here. Thanks all.

I'm also a Verizon subscriber - have been with Verizon since the summer of 2001 and when my contract renewed last June, I selected the same phone as my free upgrade.
I was looking forward to using the same features with my Mac when I discovered that Verizon purposely disabled these features and I'm not completely sure why but it must involve protecting a potential revenue stream for Verizon.
My existing 2-yr contract with Verizon expires a year from this June and I plan on making the switch to Cingular at that time primarily due to Verizon disabling these bluetooth features but also due to the iPhone. Cingular has excellent coverage in my area - I have a number of friends who are Cingular subscribers that get better reception at my residence than I do and I use my cell phone in place of a land line. The iPhone will have been on the market for a year or so at that time and I expect a new and improved iPhone model to be available by then. And if I decide not to purchase an iPhone, I'm making the switch to Cingular regardless.
