    In reply to Palm Pre Won't Be Coming to Verizon or AT&T Within Six Months
    Is it strange to get "cold feet" over a cell phone? Since the Pre's announcement I've been dying to get this, now I've been getting second thoughts due to the reviews talking about how flimsy it is.


    I'd love to see the next gen webos palm phone but if the pre doesn't sell well then the probability of another palm webos phone would be greatly reduced. So I guess i'm thinking should i be palm's "wing man" and take one for the team in hopes that i'll be rewarded down the line...


    I'm a current sprint customer that will stick with sprint due to everyone i know uses that carrier and my coverage area is better than most. i am also one of the lucky few that hasn't had any issues with them.

    @Nick: all my friends in kansas city with sprint either switched or never stop complaining? and my at&t in kansas city is really good. i don't think i've ever dropped a call anywhere in the metro, and the worst i've had maybe is signal down after a storm a couple times, never more than 2 hours though. i don't mean to be a downer, but i think maybe you are just easy to please. i've never heard a kansas city sprint owner say anything positive about the service until now. i'm glad to hear someone is happy though!

    Apologies.

    @92BuickLeSabre: Is Ponies tipping you off again, man - because I can't believe you figured that out on your own.


    In our sandbox Sprint actually has some of the best coverage out there and AT&T is one of the worst. However, it is all relative since I would never discount any major carrier for coverage in America since they all have fairly similar results.

    In reply to Free Advice: Watch the Mail and Opt Out of Verizon Sharing Your Personal Data
    Apparently, if you don't opt out, you also grant Verizon the right to remove epithelial cells from your mouth while you're sleeping in order to add you to their vast army of cloned customers who'll continue to make payments should you terminate your contract. That can't be right? Is that even legal?

    @polkadot: Yup, my reading says that they can share the numbers you're calling and being called from. I'm not real cool with that.


    I've got nothing to hide, I just don't want any more info than necessary being easily accessible to every Tom, Dick & Harry with $50 in his pocket...

    In reply to Free Advice: Watch the Mail and Opt Out of Verizon Sharing Your Personal Data
    On seeing this, I decided to check it out for myself. Went to my account, found the same "not available" message.


    So I went poking around in the settings for my account, and found the checkbox that lets you opt out. Here's how to get there, if you're interested:


    - Sign in to the Verizon website.

    - On the red bar near the top, hover over "My Verizon." Click on "My Profile." (Don't go over to the sub-menu that pops up.)

    - In the second section down, under Phone Controls, there's a link to "View/Edit Privacy (CPNI) Settings." Click on that.

    - Voila! Click on the button that says "Don't share my CPNI." Remember to hit the save button before you leave.
