I have to concur with your comments Buddy. VZW brags now, but let's see what the iPhone would do to their network. If they are smart, they will have learned a few lessons, but I wouldn't bet on that either. Like most carriers, they see dollar signs and do as little as possible to earn as many dollars as possible. I of course don't fault them since they are in the business to make money. On Jun 30, 2010, at 1:49 PM, Buddy Brannan wrote:
