Re: Get iPhone from Verizon and then don't use it?

I have a question. Why would you want to do that?

My current collection of gadgets includes a Motorola v9m dumbphone, and
an Apple iPod Touch.

The v9m is a good telephone. It has a good radio and the voice quality
on this thing is also good. The iPhone is a shitty telephone. Voice
quality is not acceptable to me. Radio performance (fringe area
reception) seems to be poor as well.

The v9m is a small enough gadget that I take it everywhere. The iPod
Touch is not.

So my idea is to get rid of my iPod Touch and replace it with an iPhone.
I don't plan to change my habits, much. I would occasionally use the
iPhone for voice calls, but not often. I would occasionally use the
Verizon data network with the iPhone, but not often.

The above two "not often" events are the times when I would switch my
Verizon activation from the v9m to the iPhone.

Basically, if I can get Verizon to pay for most of my iPhone, I might
just let them do it. I tend to upgrade my iPod Touch every two years.
Having Verizon buy me an iPhone every two years might not be too expensive.
I would get to use the superior iPhone cameras too.

I am certainly open to criticism. That's why I posted.
