Re: Just a phone ...
Whenever the Verizon Wireless guys ask me "What do you want your phone to be able to do?", I always answer "Make calls." Everything else, to me, is icing on the cake.
However, I've come to expect one more thing from my cell phone: openness. Ideally, I'd like to take an MP3 that I've made and upload it to my phone by myself to set as a ringtone. I'd also like to be able to import/export contacts and download any photos/videos that I took. My previous phone (LG VX8100) let me do that via BitPIM, but apparently Verizon locked down my new phone (VX8350) so that BitPIM can't work with it. Instead, they want me to pay them $2 each for ringtones from VCast.

That's Verizon's suckiness at work. I've been able to upload my own ringtones, tether to data, and download pictures from every Cingular phone I've had "out of the box". I'm in no way a fan of Cingular's network, but they're a LOT more lax about selling their handsets with all the features enabled. My old 3650 wasn't even locked to their network. |

USA | Of course, just when I post about how wonderful MyxerTones is, Verizon manages to mess it up by rejecting my latest ringtone messages.  |
