For yours truly, it was the BlackBerry Storm, which was released half-baked from Verizon on November 21st, 2008. Let's say that after all these years, you want to re-activate your old Storm or BlackBerry Storm 2 (the latter was a decent phone) on the Verizon network. That will no longer be possible. A statement released today by Big Red confirms that the nation's largest carrier is no longer activating devices that do not support 4G LTE connectivity. https://www.phonearena.com/news/Verizon-will-no-longer-activate-3G-phones-on-its-network_id106697 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180717033525.GA2665@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2018 23:35:25 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Kavanaugh's Nomination Could Be A Win For Big Telecom By Kelcee Griffis Law360 (July 13, 2018) -- As a D.C.
