Post #290,446 by jbrabeck 8/7/07 12:33:56 PM Reply	And on just about every phone A phone should initiate calls and receive calls. Period. No need for a camera. Or music player. Or GPS. Or video player. Or photo viewer. Or more that a couple of ring tones. Or internet browsing. Or wallpaper. Or games. Or tracking capability. Last good phone made: Motorola Startac, which I'll keep using, even though Verizon keeps wanting me to downgrade to a current multifunction phone. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. (Herm Albright)

You are catered for.

Oh, the new phones are mandated to have the "i spy" chip installed. Phones without cannot be activated (according to Verizon). According to Verizon, if my phone becomes deactivated for whatever reason, they cannot reactivate it. Security trumps all.
