		<description>Kind of funny the spin going around on this.. the people behind this operation have been sending out emails telling everyone how &quot;mean&quot; and &quot;nasty&quot; laptop mag was during the interview to Piilani and that no one cares what laptopmag has to say anyway. LOL  I guess thats why the stuck the award on every single website they had..</description>

		<description>Of course, my last post is for anyone that still has interest in looking further at anything released or launched by Zer01 and GV.

I only used Boost Mobile and its &quot;unlimited everything&quot; plan as an example.  There are other real companies offering similar plans at similar prices also.

I don&#039;t consider Zer01 or Global Verge real companies because they hide everything and choose to not provide any real information to anyone that has requested it.

No matter what i say or think.  Everyone has to decide for themselves.

Once again.  Just my two cents.  I&#039;m done posting anything else.</description>

		<description>I forgot to mention that Boost Mobile also has unlimited web/internet also.

If Zer01 and Global Verge come out with a phone that is equal to Boost Mobile, then it would&#039;nt be worth an extra $30. a month, especially having to go through a MLM distributor, when i can get better service and support through a major retailer.

If the Zer01/GV phone and service actually is launched and actually turns out to be better in any way, then it will be a matter of whether thier phone service is worth the extra $30. a month.</description>

		<description>It is going to be interesting to see how Laptop reinstates the award after these phones come out in a few days and thousands of us are buying them at record rates.  It is also interesting to note that below the &quot;submit comment&quot; button there is a Verizon Wireless sign indicating that they are a &quot;Featured Sponsor&quot; of this website.  When these phones are out and they work as advertised, Verizon will lose a significant percentage of their monthly subscribers.  Do you suppose there may be a connection here????</description>

		<description>What about existing cell phone companies like Boost Mobile ???

They have unlimited voice, text, mobile to mobile, long distance etc, etc.

No contracts, no credit checks, no hidden fees.

All of that for $50. a month.

Why would i pay $80. a month for the same service that has yet to be launched and proven from some questionable company that has associated itself with a MLM company whos owner has been convicted of fraud and has zero success with any company as his background.

Why is Global Verge now being investigated by the Missouri Attorney General ?  (If you don&#039;t believe me then call the Missouri AG office and ask them yourself.)

I think Laptop Mag has seen enough and is doing what they should be doing, which is warning people to be very cautious before spending any money.  This is the 1st award in 18 years that they have rescinded.  Does&#039;nt that say something ?

The Boost Mobile phone is available and sold at places like Best Buy and other major retailers.  Why would i want to buy a phone through some used car salesman, get rich quick wannabe that has already spread lies and misrepresented the phone and service ?

Boost Mobile is owned by Sprint, which is a real company, with real employess in a real corporate building with all of the various departments that any real business would have in place.  All of this is available online and in person for anyone to see.

Zer01 and Global Verge had thier shot to gain my trust and business as a consumer and they both blew it big time with thier false information and lame business practices.

Whatever Zer01 and Global Verge come out with won&#039;t be any better or cheaper than what is already available through other companies.  All of the features that were suppose to make them better have already been exposed to be lies and that&#039;s why Laptop Mag did what it did and why consumers like myself waste thier time posting messages like this.

My two cents.</description>

		<description>Impressive move.  Laptopmag is a nice, knowledgeable, current, and nerdy site for getting the latest tech info.  I&#039;ve been impressed with the detailed reports for a while, and being responsible enough to issue a rescission like this is very impressive.  

Everybody makes mistakes.  Acknowledging them and accepting them is key.  Too few people do that today.</description>

		<description>Pevasip Corp (www.Pervasip.com), a publically traded company on the NASDAQ stock exchange, is the worldwide network that ZER01 will be using to connect to more than 40 countries and the US.  Here is the announcement made to the US Securities and Exchange commission in Pervasip’s 3rd quarter report October 15, 2008.  Unified Technologies Group, Inc. (UTGI)is the parent company of ZER01:

&quot;Our largest opportunity with an existing customer is with Unified Technologies Group, Inc. (&quot;UTGI&quot;) which recently signed a wholesale services agreement with us that requires them to sell a minimum of 50,000 IP telephony lines running over a national cell phone network by October 2009. UTGI has agreed to pay us for the revenue we would have received from 50,000 lines, in the event they do not achieve that level. We anticipate they will sell significantly more than 50,000 lines.”

FROM: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=PVSP.OB

Would ZER01 sign a contract to pay for 50,000 lines if they did not intend to roll the phones out?</description>

		<description>also why do they NEED a fancy address right now?  microsoft and many many companies that are now HUGE began in a spare bedroom or a garage!

Their new atty is a well known atty from Amway that works ONLY with MLM companies.
Ever hear the saying, &#039;if it doesn&#039;t work the first time, try and try again? did your parents ever tell you that??
How many of you got a DUI and got off from serving time in jail?  do not be so quick to condemn others for their past failures or mistakes
APPLAUD them for having the balls to get up and try again!! APPLAUD them for standing up to the adversity and take all the trash tossed at them and about them to TRY AGAIN. wouldn&#039;t you like a 2nd chance on some of your mistakes?</description>
