Will iPhone have "pre-loaded" Verizon specific apps?
- How will VZW's iPhone handle carrier specific "VZW Apps" ? Will they be "pre-loaded" on the phone or will they be available in the appstore? Some VZW Apps such as:
- "My Verizon"
- "Back up assistant"
- "V-Cast apps"
- "VZ Navigator"
Most of these apps are just crap, but some are actually useful ( ** "My Verizon" **)01-11-2011 11:01 PMLike 0 - the only one i would want is backup assistant since i use that for my contacts. Can you use google to get your contacts like on droid phones? jw sorry newb here01-12-2011 12:42 AMLike 0

Also you can also set it to sync with your Gmail calendar so your appointments will also sync.thebizz likes this.01-12-2011 02:10 AMLike 1 -

It's awesome01-12-2011 04:47 AMLike 3 -
but one thing I don't like about iOS is you can't disable the default apps like stocks or weather. Apple has them, thinking you always need those apps.01-12-2011 07:57 AMLike 0 -
- Apple has always put carrier apps on the app store. they will NOT allow Verizon to alter the software (beyond carrier settings) on the iPhone.01-12-2011 11:15 AMLike 0

- The NFL already has an (actually 2; paid and ad supported) app in the app store. As do ESPN and Fox Sports just for reference, both superior to NFL Mobile IMO.
I don't think Apple lets any carrier in the world preinstall apps on iPhones so I don't see why Verizon would get special treatment. Their apps will be in the app store just like everyone else.01-14-2011 02:22 PMLike 0 - Yes you can. Just setup your Gmail account as an exchange and NOT the simple Gmail setup under setting. After you set up your Gmail exchange acount, just make sure contacts sync is set to on.
Also you can also set it to sync with your Gmail calendar so your appointments will also sync.01-14-2011 04:18 PMLike 0 - How will VZW's iPhone handle carrier specific "VZW Apps" ? Will they be "pre-loaded" on the phone or will they be available in the appstore? Some VZW Apps such as:

I couldn't agree more. You can also get it for $69 from Apple with the purchase of iPhone/iPod, mac, iPad, or pretty much anything other than an accessories. Like someone else also pointed out, Amazon.com is a good resource to find it less expense as is eBay. If you own a iPhone & a Mac, MobileMe is a must!
