Re: Already possible I actually just renewed this weekend and got a new phone (actually 4 new phones total on my account). I got the LG VX8350 from Verizon Wireless. While they were trying to sell me features, I mentioned getting a USB data cable from someone other than Verizon. The guy mentioned that doing that could void my warranty.
In addition, there are features on phones that Verizon locks down or tries to hide (like using your own MP3s as ringtones) because they want to sell you on their VCast service.
If an ISP told their users that they couldn't use their own music CDs to make MP3s and instead had to buy from the ISPs online shop for their music, those users would either protest loudly or flock to an alternative. |

Excellent point. That is exactly why I only buy Nokia or Windows Mobile phones. That way I have complete control over the files I put on them (ringtones, pictures, etc.). |
