Verizon doesn't make all the games, in fact most of them aren't made by them, they just offer them for sale via their service. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/156#post-656 Wed, 03 Jan 2007 22:42:20 +0000 Merkan 656@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Agreed - I wouldn't have expected it to be possible now. In the near future, with GOTDs potential one day it would be very well possible. Heck, I wouldn't be as near annoyed if VZW didn't give the WORST trials I've seen in my life. 7-30days is the norm for a computer program... 2 minutes for a cell phone program. I'd be happy with a one day trial or a half-hour to one hour trial...and I mean, its pure profit. Even think about how not only do they offer 'unlimited' usage of a program for sale but the option to select subscription where you pay a monthly fee to use that program. Wow, and I thought the no-thrills wireless plans were expensive. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/156#post-655 Wed, 03 Jan 2007 22:35:13 +0000 Pathanos 655@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I would imagine it would be hard. Getting major cellphone companies to put they're apps on this site would take some convincing. Also this site is fairly new, and could use another year for credibility. Most apps that aren't from major companies, are usually free from what I've seen. Good idea, just don't know if it'd work. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/156#post-654 Wed, 03 Jan 2007 22:23:23 +0000 Merkan 654@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>Love the site - I think I'm one of the first few people who learned about your site. A friend on a forum had told me about GOTD awhile back and ever since I've been a visitor. I love this website and have downloaded alot of the programs you have given away.</p> <p>Now, I have a interesting suggestion. I love the idea of games and applications on my phone and I think it'd be awesome if you could occasionally have cell phone providers give one away. As with all software giveaways, it'd increase awareness and sales of whatever is being given away. I for one know that if I received a application for free and really liked it on my phone, I would be more interested in purchasing other things. Cell phones are increasingly popular and with better graphics and capabilities on phones, 3D gaming on phones is now possible. Some cell phone providers, such as Verizon, do not offer any software trials worth speaking of (okay, they occasionally have a game where you can play for two minutes and then the game expires). That doesn't really make me want to buy the game... I barely loaded it and read the instructions on how on how to play let alone tried out the game!) Not only this, but VZW also has alot of useful apps including weather programs, email programs etc, but once again barely any trials and most of them are relatively expensive. Similar issues occur with software for other kinds of phones and cell phone service providers. </p> <p>Would it be possible? I'D LOVE IT! </p>
