Verizon Wireless Trying To Regain Lost Ground

Thu, 10/09/2008 - 06:04 by Jaspreet Kaur

Facing stiff competition from Apple’s iPhone, Verizon Wireless is fighting back with a vengeance. Verizon has declared that Blackberry Storm, the first-of-its-kind touchscreen smartphone by Research In Motion (RIM) will be available solely to Verizon Wireless customers in the U.S. and to Vodafone customers in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Up to now, Verizon has been dominating the U.S. wireless industry. But since when Dallas-based AT and T became Apple iPhone’s exclusive carrier in the U.S., Verizon Wireless has been shaken up.

Verizon Wireless is also planning to open an online bazaar. Through this bazaar, the customers will be able to download a host of games, tools and other applications for use on the Storm.

Software developers will also be able to build applications using the toolkit that will be launched by the company on October 9.

Verizon Wireless Chief Marketing Officer Dave Lanman said, “Our goal was to bring one device to the marketplace under the flags of two companies.”
