Ok, so I am stuck in the Amtrak station in San Diego because someone got killed on the tracks in LA. Might as well blog *shrug*.

So after this news about Verizon disabling phones native mp3 support in favor of Windows Media (which is what powers their music store), I have decided to switch to T-Mobile. My gripes on Verizon are many, including but not limited to:

• no sim card support -which leads to:
• having to talk to them every time you switch phones - which leads to:
• a new $50 charge to activate a new phone
• lagging on cool phones
• poor customer service
• limiting technology - in my view this is never a good thing, and they do it ALL the time. Better to have an open source OS (Nokia & Symbian) and open standards (GSM)

The only thing good about verizon is the coverage is generally pretty good compared to cingular / t-mobile. I have carried both for a while and Verizon does have the better coverage overall. I am keeping my VZAccess, which is the best always on data connection in the world.

So I ordered my PEBL and am jumping ship to T-Mobile. God I hope my train comes soon.
