I took a Best Buy manager to the Verizon Wireless agreement webpage with
the Attorney General of NY State, while trying to look for a Voyager to
play with, today.  The signage at the Best Buy counter hadn't been
changed, properly, to reflect the agreement.  It was still telling the
lie that it was unlimited internet.  They had the new brochures with the
correction, but opted to leave up the deceptive signage.

I must give him credit.  He took the deceptive signage with him to the
back, at least until I left...(c;  I'll check again in a couple of days
to see if it re-appears.

No Voyagers at any Verizon resellers, including Best Buy.  They must be
playing the iPhone Game like ATT is with their resellers, the old
holdback-to-keep-the-price-up-and-the-sheeple-drooling scarcity game.

I see others reporting it's a plastic PoS, but I'd like to hold one to
see what it will do....

BB had the Apple iPod Touch discounted from its $299 price to $299 for
Christmas shoppers.  It WAS plugged in and its power supply was
running...but its battery was dead and it wasn't charging.  It was loose
when I pointed this out to the salesbots so you could hold it and try it
out.  The solution to this problem was to go get another tywrap and strap
it firmly to the security mount so noone could try it out.  Before the
battery died, I took it to several websites with pictures, flash,
javascripts, etc., to see what it would render.  It wouldn't.  The
webpages looked like a colored up text mostly with few things rendering
properly.  Even the spam wouldn't render properly, simply moving GIF
movies.  It flipped over to landscape like the iPhone and you could do
iPhone finger tricks with it, once you got the grease off the touchscreen
from all the handling.  It sucks when there's a tywrap going right across
the middle of the display.  They didn't fix the battery charging problem.  
Seems it would sell better at $299 if they'd make it work, right?

I found what I want for Christmas at Best Buy, but she resisted when I
tried to put the wrapping paper around her and kept screaming until the
manager and 3 BIG associates made me stop.

Nuts.....(c;

The guy who invented stretch denim should be given a reward of
$US1,000,000,000 for all the wonderful fantasies he has provided every
man who passes them....  I'd personally like to thank Mudd, Cavarichi,
Levis, Jordache, Angels, Vigoss and the rest of them for a wonderful
Black Friday shopping experience.....(sigh)

Have you nothing better to do with your sad, pathetic life than hassle
people over products and services in which you obviously have no
interest?  This is far from the first time you've bragged about going
into a store with the sole intent of jerking peoples' chains.

Sadly, I'm not surprised you find objectifying women to be such a big
joke.  It truly fits your demented personality.

Mommy take your suckers away or the nurse hasn't shown up with your meds
yet?

And once again, you side step right around the points raised.  With
your posting history here, I don't think you are in any position to be
taking jabs at anyone.  Just when I think you can't be a bigger
a.shole, there you go proving me wrong.

Remember, he is here at a.c.v - when he is NOT a customer...
He hangs out on a Comcast group - and is NOT a customer

See the pattern?

He gets off on being a PITA...

Uh, read what Cobra said in the LG Voyager topic.  The TOS has been updated:
"If usage exceeds 5 GB per line during any billing period, we reserve
the right to reduce throughput speeds of any application that would
otherwise exceed such speed to a maximum of approximately 200 Kbps.
These speeds are subject to change, in our reasonable discretion, in
order to address network issues."

So even if you do go over the limit, they won't stop you from using data
connections.
