They have taken our bluetooth, GPS, made close firmware, won't activate certain phones without a data plan, might start to charge for a data plan if you have Mobile Web 2.0, and many other things. Us loyal customers have stayed with them but as time goes by we see what type of company Verizon is and how greedy they really are.
