Metro,
Please do not insult other members.

You're right. I just felt that Dawg had been rude and condescending to other members, and that got me all riled up, but my response was no better. Apologies all round - especially to those poor people like I initially was who just wanted to get the scoop on VZW + GPS.
Actually, after reviewing the posts, I'd like to retract my apology (except to those who are innocent information-seekers). As I said, I initially started as one of those people who are just seeking the facts, and I have NEVER engaged in any kind of rude discussion on a forum before. But it's comments like these that follow from Dawg that have made this thread unreadable:

So mods, it's ok to warn the new guy, but not an established member who should know better? How is that going to keep the forums clean? I had ONE post. I hate to think of how many of Dawg's 6k + posts are dragging this forum down.
And Dawg, besides your incredibly and unreasonably rude tone, you are totally out of line calling the majority of readers of these posts stupid. Certainly one must take responsibility for engaging in a contract without reading the fine print, but the vast majority of people in the world have more important things in their lives than cell phones and are almost never able to invest the exhaustive amounts of time it takes to thoroughly investigate phones and plans before purchasing them. If these people have been mislead, whether actively or passively, they have a right to be upset by it.
Regardless, most people are seeking information or help, not attitude.
And no, I am not some coward hiding behind a different user name - but you must have a lot of enemies out there to suspect something like that. What I am is someone who took the time to sign up for a forum because I didn't like the way I saw someone bullying other users. So in the future, please consider whether you are actually contributing something helpful before you post, or whether you are just clogging bandwidth with your derisive and vacuous retorts.
You owe me and all of the other readers of this thread an apology for wasting out time.
PS: Does anyone know if Verizon is going to support GPS on the Blackberry 8800 any time soon?
That was a joke. Metro out.
