This is a GSM network phone. Verizon uses CDMA. The two are incompatible.

I keep hearing that the phone reads your text messages. Can someone confirm this? Because when I tried it, it only read the sender's number and maybe the subject. It did not read the contents of the message.

I bought this phone a few months ago from CTI [thank you!], I never had and could not find the settings for the WAP & MMS etc.
There was no support or settings to be found for it, it was a bit of a PITA, but, thanks to Steven J at o2 in Braehead [Glasgow], I now have it all set up!
Steven set the WAP up and said that the settings were the same as the V635 - GREAT!, I then went home, went to www.HelloMoto.Com (set for UK) and managed to get all the rest set up - except the email, I'll get that eventually..
I've ordered a 256meg T-Flash memory card, the phone can take up to 1GB afaik but the highest available so far is only 256meg.
The A780 is a great phone with plenty of features, it speaks to you too! ie phone book entries and text messages etc!
I only discovered that 2 weeks after getting the phone!!
The A780 has loads more features too, and I'm glad I bought it - the Linux OS is fast, though not as straightforward as the others. The manual isn't too great, I had to work out how to enable 'Flight Mode' myself (Click the bettery strength bar up the top then 'Antenna Off'.
To enable WAP and MMS for o2 [in the UK], go to www.HelloMoto.com, click on 'Operator Settings' and use the settings for the V635 (V620 for T-Mobile iirc).
Job done!
Enjoy! ;-)

looks good, sounds promising, but extremely disappointing. if you like to reset your PDA and loose all your small setups, like ring tones, wallpaper...etc., every 3 days then this phone is what you are looking for. functions suddenly stop working, thats when you have to reset. Voice dialing does not work if phone is closed and the number is stored in the phone book AND THE SIM CARD. battery will show either 100%, 50%, or 20%. suddenly drops on you. No voice dialing via a bluetooth enabled car. sound on my sony ericsson car hands free is bad, people wont hear me well. I had to return it, was very unsatisfied, lost $130 in restocking fee. BAD EXPERIENCE, DONT BUY

I've had this phone for about a month now. As it's a Hong Kong model and I'm in Australia where there's no support for this device, it took me awhile to configure all the settings, but since I've got them up & running, I've found this phone to be fantastic.
The email and internet browser applications are superb and very fast. The document viewer is great to study lecture notes on, or read ebooks, and the range of games available (check out http://www.rcsc.sisrs.com/mfc/index.php for free downloads) is great.
It's a bit bigger than some other phones, but for what you get crammed into it, the dimensions aren't that bad, and the phone isn't all that noticable in your pocket.
The ability to sync the phone with a mac and pc is great, as is the ability to charge the battery through a usb cable. The battery isn't all that great (expect 3 days max with minimal usage), but can easily get you through the day.
I'm very happy with this purchase, and if you're looking for a device that'll keep you mobile for a few days while you're away from the office, this has got everything you need.
A big downfall however, is the lack of extra applications available for the phone. If you're looking for a smartphone that'll do everything, including brush your teeth for you, you might want to look elsewhere; but if you just want something that you can email/browse the web/play games/read docs/watch movies on, then you'll be very happy with this.

Greetings All...
I've had the A780 for just under a week now. I'm in the US and have Cingular as a provider. I have a question...
Does anyone else have problems clearing their "new voicemail" notifications?
I got a voicemail the other day, and the phone flashed it's indicator. I listened to the voicemail, deleted it from my inbox, and then cleared the warning on my phone. Now, everytime the phone powers on, the "new voicemail" notification reappears even though I don't have any voice mail.
Any help would be appreciated!
Brett

I forgot to say that those were the setting for Data Connect, which is what I'm trying to do. I have also tried the Communication Manager software (which does not find the A780).

Okay, I still cannot connect. But here is some more information on what I have tried. I got this from the DeviceAndSoftwareSettings PDF from Cingular. Here are the setting I tried:
APN: ISP.CINGULAR
Dial-up Number: *99***N2
User Name: ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
I also tried the default Username (WIXDC001@W5.MYCINGULAR.COM) and Password (ZXY203DC9K0402) and the non-DA ones (ISP@CINGULALRGPRS.COM with CINGULAR1), but not luck.
Any ideas?
