I wasn't trying to be a Sprint fanboy or telling you to convert to them, OP. Just from my experiences when i had Verizon, they are very,very stubborn. Remember the 1 cent versus .01 cents fiasco? Dealing with the question at hand, what exactly have you tried so far in terms of messing with the phone itself, not the customer disservice reps? I'm really not seeing why verizon claims to be using a different version of CDMA, in addition to the fact that they now own the company that uses the "other" CDMA. I'm sure, as the good geeks before me have said, theres something you can do to reclaim at least SOME of your phone's functionality.
