If you are going to do it, do it now, before Verizon moves away from unlimited data plans.

Yeah thats why I'm considering it now, before they change it. I looked at a 450 minute individual plan, with unlimited data and 500 texts to start with, and its like $80 a month, which is less than what I pay for my iphone with unlimited data and text, and I only use like 200 anytime minutes.

Anyone know how to do a firmware on their Canon DSLR without the Canon Update Utility on CD? I can't find my original CD and can only seem to download updates from the Canon site.

yeah, you load them on the CF card and do the FW update from there, it's cake.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Pay attention to what carrier your family and friends have. If most of them were on AT&T then you should plan ahead. If most are on Verizon (strong possibility) then you will use less minutes.

The people I talk to the most, I can put in my family and friends list and talk to them for free. Most of them are on different providers. Maybe one is Verizon, but the rest are AT&T, TMobile, Sprint.

Oh, and you'll want to take out the large horizontal wood plank on the bottom left with your first bird. Level done.

Verizon should be servicing the iPhone starting today..... well if the rumors hold true.

Dave_B · Post by **Dave_B** » January 11th, 2011, 9:59 am

That should be interesting.

Go to the Verizon site, shop for phones, click Smart Phones. Then in the drop down for brands you will see they already have Apple listed. Whoops.

lol! While I doubt I'll run over to verizon hopefully this puts some competition in the marketplace to hopefully cut down on that asinine bill.

Asinine bill? I pay $90 a month for my iPhone on a family plan with 1100 shared minutes. Unlimited data and texting and when I compared Verizon's plans for similiar it costs the same thing. Unless you're looking at plans with higher minutes.

itrsteez · Post by **itrsteez** » January 11th, 2011, 5:45 pm

$90 a month for a family plan? is that your half of the bill? If that's the whole thing then it sounds extremely low.

elambz · Post by **elambz** » January 11th, 2011, 5:48 pm

Half. Its actually SLIGHTLY less since my company gets a 3% discount.

3%!!!1!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!! ..... :/

coolhandluke · Post by **coolhandluke** » January 11th, 2011, 6:05 pm

I still think $90/mo for a cell phone is ludicrous.
