Looks like Verizon is eliminating the unlimited plan on you next upgrade.

Saw that on the news last night. Just means I'll be more likely to shop around next time my contract is up.

No real surprise there. In fact, I'm sure any others that are grandfathered in with other providers will also be phased out by the time our contract is up. That's usually the way it goes. Better get in my daily Pandora streaming from my phone while I still can.

Just wanted to give a thumbs up to Otter Box customer service. I had a problem with the fit of the Commuter case they make that I bought off Amazon. They ended up sending me a brand new one(seems like they have had problems with it and have updated it some) no questions asked. This might me a common problem with their cases since they have a form on their web site that asks all the right questions so they can just send you a new one without having to contact you.

Got my Otter Box replaced at a Verizon kiosk where I did not buy it with no grief. Gotta be a known issue , the flap that covers the charging input wouldn't stay closed on mine.

I have a Samsung Focus Flash with Windows Phone. I really like the interface and it is light years ahead of my (now retired) Blackberry in terms of funtionality

Sweet! I was scanning this thread to find any mention of a windows phone...turns out we even have the same phone I had some issues upgrading & use last.fm in place of Pandora. The biggest drawback has to be the unpopular Operating System, IMHO...

I've got the Nokia Lumia 900 now. I like it, generally, especially the ability to use Office products. Typing is a bit of a bear, though I'm getting used to it (3 months later), and I have to say the case is too slippery. Not being able to turn offthe haptic feedback on the face buttons is annoying. Other than that, I like it well enough.

the focus flash is a slippery lil' sucker as well and I also agree with the typing statment (must have upgraded around the same time ) I haven't had any issues with the feedback though...

Putting on a decent case can help the grip issue although the extra bulk is a downside. I've had a case with rubberized sides on my iPhone for awhile. I tried to switch cases recently with one that's super lean but it was slippery and made me nervous so I put the grippier case back on.

 

[twinplanx]

I've got this little gripper thing that adheres to the back of the phone, that will keep the phone on the dashboard in moderate driving situations. This probably also helps grab the lil' sucker, but I wouldn't know the difference since its been there since day one. I must be more cautious, as when using the keyboard I'm usually seated. No texting on the run, but I guess that's why the speach function is there...

got an Otter case for my iphone for Father's day. bulky but VERY durable. even has a screen protector that doesn't interfere with the touch screen functions.

Which Otters box did you get, I have the Commuter which isn't too bulky at all.
