Ten cents a minute is pretty fair, depending on your usage/needs. And since we have _full_ BT capabilities on this phone, I can easily transfer ringtones, MP3s, pictures, and movies up to the limits of my Trans-flash/microSD cards. (That's currently 512 MB on a fingernail-sized chip, but Sandisk announced their 1GB cards at CES this week for $120 list.)

You are willing to sacrifice the finest coverage availalbe and the best performance available as a PHONE so thaqt you can download ringtones, MP3s and pictures??

Even the thirteen year old girls at whom these silly gadgets are aimed aren't that dumb......

Vz needs to stop hitting people with this nickel and dime "Get It Now!" nonsense, because I can now compress "King Kong 2005" and play/fit the entire 3-hour movie on my cell phone. People will remember Verizon's corporate decision to cripple Bluetooth long after that last quarter's been shaken out of some scruffy teenager's pocket.

You seriously expect to watch King Kong on your cell phone? THAT's why you choose one phone or a carrier over another? Verizon's decision to offere only limited Bluetooth - nothing was "crippled" - makes infinitely more sense than your ridiculous views.....
