The past 6 months since I joined the Verizon Wireless Midwest Moms Program has just flown by. I am a huge fan of technology and testing out new technology so when I was invited to try out the latest gadgets from Verizon Wireless, I was geeking out. I was not a carrier with Verizon Wireless, so I also couldn’t wait to test them out – their service, customer service and products!

Thanks to Verizon, I was able to attend the Midwest Moms Conference in Chicago and bring my family with me! It was their first time in Chicago and we absolutely loved it!

I was able to meet some amazing people. Not only the other bloggers from the Verizon Midwest Moms Program {who I love and admire!} but also the team from Verizon Wireless and Rauxa.

Just some of the amazing Verizon Wireless Midwest Moms!

I was able to have a delicious dinner filled with fun conversation on the top floor of the John Hancock Building in Chicago!

Then, I was able to have fun learning more about some great products from Verizon Wireless! I’ve spent the last six months playing with my Motorola Xoom – it’s my handy travel companion and grocery store shopping sidekick. Not only does it play flash – something the iPad doesn’t do- it takes pictures, records video and has the whole Android Marketplace at your fingertips!  Another huge plus for me with the Motorola Xoom is how if you’re a Google addict like me, it easily integrates Gmail, Google Talk and more! Another big deal? You’re able to tether up to four devices to the Xoom so they can access the Verizon network too for internet. This was huge for me while traveling!

The Droid Bionic has been another sidekick of mine! With the Droid Bionic, I was able to experience 4G speed for the first time! Holy cow, is it FAST! I was also able to experience Verizon Wireless service. No dropped calls or missing signals at all!

I never had any problems with my devices, but my husband and I stopped into some Verizon Wireless stores a few times where we were treated with great customer service. Just like Verizon Wireless is so helpful on Twitter, they were so helpful in store!

And of course, one of my favorite things was learning how Verizon Wireless does good and provides the HopeLine – America’s largest phone recycling program that gives phones to people affected by domestic abuse.

Thank you to Verizon Wireless and Rauxa for such an amazing experience!
