By now you’ve seen the countless incarnations of the Verizon wireless network promotions with the millions of people marching to the beat of the “can you hear me now” drum. But Verizon has increasingly upped its visibility in other areas as well, providing more than just excellent wireless service. Check out some of our favorite picks from Verizon’s wide-ranging arsenal. –dewayne rogers
FiOS TV
The Lowdown: Television is officially over, as we know it, since Verizon has upped the ante by introducing the largest and fastest-growing 100 percent fiber-optic network.
Why It’s Hot: With arguably the best picture quality currently available on the market, an astonishing 348 digital channels on tap (including 100 HD channels), and enviable Dolby 5.1 surround sound, FiOS TV literally laps the competition
The Blackberry Storm
The Lowdown: We said our focus was strictly non-wireless, but the Storm was too sweet to overlook. For BlackBerry enthusiasts pining for iPhone touch screen capabilities, the Storm offers that and so much more.
Why It’s Hot: With dual-mode functionality for world-roaming capabilities, unmatched GPS and a 3.2-megapixel camera, you can’t be mad at Verizon and RIM’s initial foray into the touch screen world.
Triple Play Bundle
The Lowdown: Why get bogged down with paying multiple bills when Verizon offers a Triple Play Bundle that allows customers the ability to receive high speed Internet, Verizon Freedom unlimited nationwide (local and long-distance) calling services, and DIRECTV video service all in one neat package.
Why It’s Hot: It’s convenient; it’s hassle-free, and more importantly, it’s cost-effective. Verizon is now offering the Triple Play Bundle for $79.99 a month for the first year. You do the math.
