UPDATE: 7/12/2011
I thought I would put up links to Verizon Wireless’ smartphone manuals that are available online.
I know that there are times when it would be nice to just have the manual handy, so I am including links to the online manuals of Verizon’s Smartphones, so that you don’t have to search through several site links to find what you want.
There are a few missing from the list but I’ll try to get those added later.
