I think they are in for a big surprise when they lose customers to AT&T.

Have fun with their crappy service. Phone looks cool but not worth crappy service. I have had AT&T and it sucks. It's why I went to Verizon. I called Verizon too and the guy didn't say it was illegal just can't have it on 24/7. In order to use 5 g you have to have it on all the time. They do it so you don't stream a webcam or something. It's what the guy I talked to told me. Still streaming sirius on my phone is cool.

update works fine, just know you will erase everything so backup before you do the update.

The unchecking of the box in wireless sync worked like a champ. I hope Verizon never finds out.

Heh, never had that issue because I never have set up Wireless Sync (and never will, I actually deleted it.) Using MOL3 since the beginning, having bought my Q in May. Streaming works fine, so this thread caught my attention.

Everywhere else I have read (like howardforum) says the same thing, just do everything you want, but don't exceed the 5GB a month and DON'T tell Verizon reps anything about what you are doing specifically.

You can always check online or dial #DATA for usage stats. You need to be a really heavy user to exceed 5GB. I just use it occasionally on weeknights and weekends while I'm walking around in stores, etc, and I never come close to 5GB.s If I didn't have internet access and my music library available at work, it might be different. Good thing I do.
