If you are going to do it, do it now, before Verizon moves away from unlimited data plans.

Yeah thats why I'm considering it now, before they change it. I looked at a 450 minute individual plan, with unlimited data and 500 texts to start with, and its like $80 a month, which is less than what I pay for my iphone with unlimited data and text, and I only use like 200 anytime minutes.

Anyone know how to do a firmware on their Canon DSLR without the Canon Update Utility on CD? I can't find my original CD and can only seem to download updates from the Canon site.

yeah, you load them on the CF card and do the FW update from there, it's cake.

Pay attention to what carrier your family and friends have. If most of them were on AT&T then you should plan ahead. If most are on Verizon (strong possibility) then you will use less minutes.

The people I talk to the most, I can put in my family and friends list and talk to them for free. Most of them are on different providers. Maybe one is Verizon, but the rest are AT&T, TMobile, Sprint.

Go to the Verizon site, shop for phones, click Smart Phones. Then in the drop down for brands you will see they already have Apple listed. Whoops.

Asinine bill? I pay $90 a month for my iPhone on a family plan with 1100 shared minutes. Unlimited data and texting and when I compared Verizon's plans for similiar it costs the same thing. Unless you're looking at plans with higher minutes.

$90 a month for a family plan? is that your half of the bill? If that's the whole thing then it sounds extremely low.

I still think $90/mo for a cell phone is ludicrous.
