I really need to get rid of the voicemail speed dial on this phone, it's
factory set to speed dial "1" and of course this is where I've always put
the most important number that I call and I have multiple phones set the
same way, including home phones.

This is driving me absolutely nuts!  I possibly wouldn't even have upgraded
to this phone if I would have known this.  I do computer programming and
can't believe there's no way to change this damn thing, I am going to find
a way or possibly take the new phone and put a one shaped boot kick imprint
into it.

I've read a little on this and seen a couple threads where people had the
same problem but the few authoritative words seem to be that Verizon locked
it in this way and made it unchangeable on purpose.  Usually such smart
people, this really ticks me off if there is really no way to override
this.
