Verizon stumbles upon a little thing called common sense. Removes dumb phones from “advanced devices/$350 ETF” list.
In the age of the smartphone, doing business with us consumers should be getting cheaper. That’s the way the capitalist economy generally works — as supply for increased demand increases, prices drop. So why Verizon felt it was necessary to jack up the ETF for “advanced devices” to a ridiculous $350 is still news to me. Even bigger news however was the inclusion of several dumb/feature phones on the “advanced devices” list — namely from the likes of LG and Motorola.
Whatever Verizon Wireless was smokin’ last month seems to have worn off (or they at least got something better) as the updated list of advanced devices is now void of any actual devices that aren’t smartphones or netbooks. A wise choice to say the least. But if you really want to get picky, we shouldn’t even be talking about $350 ETF’s…
Oh yeah, no official word from Verizon on this advanced devices list shake-up has been made known. Guess losing money isn’t that popular.
