Define "Crippled"
In my area T-mobile and Verizon are really the only options. There are pros and cons for each of them, so for me I think it boils down to which of the bells and whistles I might actually use.
So my question is this: When people talk about Verizon disabling a phone's features, which features exactly are they referring to? What, in layman's terms, would a T-mobile RAZR be able to do, for instance, that a Verizon RAZR wouldn't?
If I got a phone with MP3 capabilities, would I be able to upload music from my own collection, or would I be stuck downloading whatever music they have available at twice the going rate?

In comparison of one RAZR to another... the VZW RAZR has a Standard User Interface instead of the Motorola Interface you may be used to. On top of that, if you use Bluetooth to transfer pics or ringtones... you can't do it with the VZW RAZR. Bluetooth is only for hands free headsets. If you have an MP3 capable phone you can use MP3 from anywhere. If you have a VCast capable phone you can use WMA files from anywhere and MP3 can be converted into WMA format with Window Media Player. Unsupported files would be AAC files from apple.

Just stay away from moto on verizon and you will not have any problems. If you want a music phone get a lg8300, chocolate, 8600,
I would recommend the 8300, better battery, better speaker for music, but if you want a thin mp3 phone get the 8600. The lg products are not as cripled and will give you music buttons on front, also mp3 format is supported. they will allow a lot of personalization on the menus, like banner color, video wallpaper and offer a lot of bluetooth profiles. The only real difference is your ringtones. You will not be able to put your free ringtones on your phone via bleutooth, you need a back door like a data cable, or better yet you can cut songs and send them to yourself as picture messages and save audio as ringtone, ...

I don't need a data cable with the 9900. Just bluetooth dongle and bitpim.
...
yeah i know but bluetooth through bitpim has always been hit or miss for me so I don't really use it much for that anymore.

BitPim doesn't do much for newer CDMA handsets, unless you want to backup, delete or overwrite.

I would get the Lg VX8700 if you want a razr type phone. its nicer and has full bluetooth the razr is headset only for the most part.

Guys, I've had both TMO and VZW and from my personal experience, you're able to do more things with the TMO vs. VZW

Crippled is NOT what the Maxx Ve is. Full Bluetooth support for pushing or OBEX transfer for My Sounds, My Pictures, My Videos and VCard.
You can also rename MP3 ringtones to QCP and email to VZWPIX, saving them to your ringer folder.
Configure Motorola Phone Tools as K1mm and have full Multimedia Studio transfer ability too.
