I don't understand what about Verizon's position consumers don't get. The
phones are expensive. Verizon subsidizes them if you take a plan, which is
by the way, a contract. Not a one-way contract, but one with obligations by
both parties. If you want to break your end of the contract, you must pay

I have looked all over and can't get an answer anywhere on the Internet

I don't have a problem with them subsidizing the cost of a device, which I'm
paying for as part of my monthly service charge, but once my two year term
is up, unless I get another subsidized device, my service charges should go
down, as I'm no longer paying for a subsidized device, but they don't

Starting Nov. 15, Verizon plans to double its early termination fee
(ETF) -- to $350 -- for customers who end their cellphone contracts
early. The fee, arriving just in time for the holidays, applies to

Since the Droid was made available only a day or two ago I doubt that
anyone has had one long enough to give an answer. If I'd ordered one
the day it appeared on VZW's website I probably wouldn't have it until
Monday.

Has it occurred to you that maybe no one here has bought one or cared
enough to go the the VZW store and look at it?
Why don't you just go buy one, use it for a week or two, and write a review?

The Jobsian cult is hard at work on a "world-mode" iPhone capable of
tapping both CDMA and GSM/UMTS wireless networks, according to the
fanboi rumor mill.

I got this phone recently myself. On Page 88 of my manual it tells you
how to find the icon glossary in the phone. Go to settings & tools,
press 0, press 3 & you'll find a list of the icons & their meaning.
Works on my phone, anyway. Would have been nice to have it in the
manual so you didn't have to go digging in the phone, but at least it's
