VZW is the most messed-up company I've ever done business with.

There's soo much BS in that paragraph that I agree with beluczywo, Verizon is a seriously messed up company.
Billing not working right? BS. That's their end, they can't blame the phone.
Government Regulation? Another BS shot. The phone is E911 compatible, which means it CAN be activated.
GPS? Oh ya.. It DOES have GPS, and it's quite good on Google Maps.
They just are picky about what phones are on THEIR network. I'm glad Alltel's still around here (Montana). I was able to pick up a TP for $99 after a $100 rebate. I gave my trusty Titan to my wife.
