What is it this time? What is all this I hear about the MP3 player being crippled, or something about the buttons on the outside of the phone.
If vzw crippled the MP3 player on this phone; I am really gonna start thinking they are going to far...

Regarding crippling features...
read this, I found it interesting..
Dont think Verizon is the only one behind MP3 functioning being limited.
There are more and bigger parties involved - like the recording industry that doesnt take kindly to the idea of you having the ability to make MP3s, and send them to who knows through Bluetooth. They may not be able to stop all carriers from this, but if they work out a deal with Verizon where both parties stand to make money............
Im not saying I know about this specific issue with MP3 players and Verizon phones but its happening everywhere.
