I know.... ugh, man it makes me sick and mad every time it comes back into my mind and I start to dwell on it. I am the kind of person that loves good customer service and will go out of my way to raise up an associate or business if they supply a great experience or product, but the opposite holds true as well.

I know and understand their marketing corporate tactics they executed here, its obvious - give the customer a shiny new phone, and in the midst of their excitement, make them sign on the dotted line. Doh!

I did email in a very well written and thoughtful account of my feelings on the matter, and was given a call by a representative in response... but in short, I was just battle fatigued, if I can use that term loosly, after 6 weeks of back-and-forth with Verizon.

THE SILVER LINING is that, at least in 22 months when I can 'upgrade' at their 'discount' who knows what insanity willb be available then! 2 years from now, we might have veritable mini-laptops dressed up as phones, oled multi touch with 12mp cameras, and wifi-n networking!!! One can hope......

PS: Regarding my TP2, I admit.... I LOVE it. I typed this entire post on it, WITH gloves on, waiting in my dentist's office!!!
