omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ooooo! That spork is made of awesome! I was given one several years ago. Awesome for camping. And great in the lunch bucket.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Steve Jobs kinda sorta admits that the iPhone is coming to Verizon in late summer: [link]

AT&T has announced that they're getting rid of their unlimited data plan, and replacing it with a 2GB capped plan: [link] (including the iPad).

This is all effective June 7, when it looks like the new iPhone for AT&T will be released.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

ACK! NO!

[eta: Looks like it may be for new customers only, though -

Current smartphone customers are not required to switch to the new plans]

Trust my rage

What do they mean by tethering?

Using your phone as a laptop modem.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So your options are buy a phone quick, get the unlimited plan, and feel screwed when the shiny new phone comes out on Monday or b, wait for the new phone and get screwed on the plan. Awesome marketing strategy.

Or, wait, C, sit back and wait for the Verizon phone. Well, my decision making just got a lot easier anyway.

I kind of can't believe they're only just introducing tethering.

Verizon has a 2GB cap too. Just ask Liese.

Nuts. But at least they're not sticking it to you so obviously.

Current AT&T customers can keep the unlimited plan, even if they upgrade their phone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint? That's my dilemma. I can get a good smartphone from any of them.

Or are they all equally evil? I was tending toward Verizon simply because they're right down the street from me.
