Verizon’s EV-DO Expands to Carbondale, Illinois

Today I noticed my Verizon cell phone now has a EV-DO signal in Carbondale, Illinois. I haven’t seen anything online about this yet, including on Verizon’s coverage locator, so it must have happened not too long ago.

It’s about time. I’m sure Carbondale’s 21,000 college students will welcome the ability to watch broadband-speed video clips on their phones, and finally people can actually use the V-CAST service Verizon pitches at their Carbondale store.

Solid Prediction

Verizon Wireless Chief marketing officer Mike Lanman on the yet-to-be-released LG Voyager: “We think it’ll be the best phone … this year. It will kill the iPhone.” Uh-huh. Personally, as a Verizon Wireless subscriber, I’d sooner drop my service and buy an iPhone before I keep Verizon and use the Voyager instead. (I’m waiting for iPhone revision 2.) [via PCPro]
