All you needed was a DSL line they refused to push it into the FiOS world and then came up with this brain dead idea for Wireless and it flopped. I wanted it so bad until i went to the store and on top of the $35 a month you had to add $9 for an additional line. The Verizon One had same bells and whistles but i guess lost out. I heard they were going to add a remote controle feature to the hand set too for the FiOS TV customers who had it. Too bad they got gready it was nice while it lasted Verizon had one before this called the Verizon One. same concept same functionality but no monthly charge.

No doubt about it. Confirmed by Verizon and the product page was removed from their site. Someone f-ed up and provided the wrong ad last night. A very costly mistake... HOWEVER, I do hear whispers of another model in the works. Hopefully it will NOT be tied to a Verizon <i>Wireless</i> contract. dude, the Hub was discontinued. No doubt about it.

Thanks, Verizon. The phone was worthless. Where do I begin? The USB never worked, the contact list was limiting in that I could only upload 200 or so from my Outlook contacts list, photos from messages could not be transferred at all from the Hub to my PC, and the Internet connection with Time Warner was erratic at best. I had to constantly reboot the Hub just to get it to work. Bad buy on my part. Verizon has lost me. Hello AT&T and the iPhone - the hands down winner.

This would have been killer had it been offered as part of my Verizon Fios 3 pack instead of the less than mediocre phone line they gave me but as a $35 option through a wireless carrier it was a no go. This thing needs to serve as a main phone line which means 24 hour support and with Verizon Wireless closing at 11pm......well you get the picture. I just don't see them as ready for this sort of thing nor should they need to be. They already have a company that knows how to do it and that arm probably would have done a much better job of marketing it seriously instead of smirking about it everytime someone asked a question about what it was and how it worked.

Never a prob and the $35 was less that the old AT&T bill so that was not a prob either. I you have to have one to love it. I have one and we love it….bummed anout them taking it off of the market.
