Well fuck me, turns out those rat fuckers at AT&T "made a deal" and my dad can put our area codes on his plan. So we aren't sticking with Verizon. Those motherfuckers.
It's a shame all the AT&T phones suck (including the ones running Windows Mobile technology), otherwise I wouldn't be getting an iPhone. I like my phone. It's a shame they have no basic phones like it (they all have a terrible interface IMO, including the keypad).
I guess the best thing I can do at this point is follow the people hacking it, and mod the hell out of it myself.
Apparently, all upgrades are done via the software, so there "won't be any hardware upgrades" required out of me. I call superbullshit, but whatever.
The only phone I've actually enjoyed using is this one. I liked my TMobile sidekick (for the AIM, NewbysPhone was my nick with it) but eh. And I had a SmartPhone similar to
this one, but it got boring fast. :/
