"Vcast can not be used off of EV-DO network!! Sprint's Power Visions is better!"
Pros: None from my point of view.
Cons: Limited content. No Java, only BREW. Copy-Protected music files can not be played on VCast phones. Can't use VCast content off of EV-DO network.
Summary: I have used Verizon's pathetic attempt at offering VCast content. Since Sprint has been offering live content on their 1x network for years now, you can use Power Visions content ANYWHERE on Sprint's network. With Verizon you can only use it in the places where they have EV-DO up and running. Also with Verizon, you are forced to use BREW. That means no third party web browser, e-mail clients, applications, games, ect. You are forced to use what Verizon lets you use.
Sprint on the other hand uses the Java, which is used world wide. So you can use any free application you can find.
Also with Verizon, they limit what music files you can play on your phone. This due to a copy-right deal they made with Microsoft.
Sprint on the other hand does not have this limitation.
On every single level Sprint's Power Visions is better then VCast. Sprint also allows you to use the $10 and $15 dollard Visions access with PDA phones. Verizon charges $40 dollars extra per month!!
Trust me, stay away from Verizon. If you want to have access to more content and applications, then go with Sprint.
