Verizon Quietly Revises Advanced Device List

Following up on previous reporting, Verizon has surreptitiously revised its Advanced Device list and removed the following phones/devices:

• LG Dare VX9700
• LG Env Touch VX11000
• Casio Exlim C721
• Samsung Glyde SCH-U940
• Samsung Glyde Revision SCH-U940R
• Motorola Krave ZN4
• Samsung Rogue SCH-u960
• LG Versa VX9600
• LG Versa VX9600WOK
• LG Voyager VX10K Silver

The revised list is now entirely populated by smart devices and netbooks, with speculation running rampant that recent FCC inquiries into the carrier’s recent business practices played a role in the revision of the list.

As the above devices are now off of the list, the ETF for accounts with the above phones is now at the $179 rate, instead of the higher $350 rate when purchasing a smart device or netbook.
