Verizon Wireless Sucks

I recently got a new phone. Most of you probably already know. It is a Samsung SCH-A950. It is 5,000 times better than my old phone, an LG VX-3300. Phones can actually do more than just be a phone, I found out! This SCH-A950 plays MP3s and videos, has a camera which does both still pictures and video, and has Bluetooth! I like this phone a lot.

However, since I got this phone, I found out that Verizon cripples their phones. Not one of their phones supports Bluetooth Object Exchange. This means that I can't transfer files from my computer onto my phone or vice versa. They also disabled Bluetooth dial-up networking and other Bluetooth features. Now, Bluetooth hardware is Bluetooth hardware. If it can do one of these things, it can do all of them. It is simply that they've requested that the features be disabled!!! How ridiculous!!! For some phones there are hacks to enable these things, but for most there isn't a way to do it. I would absolutely love to use the capabilities of my phone and transfer files wirelessly to/from my computer. I would also love to dial up to the internet using my phone as it is wirelessly connected to my laptop. These are all built in to the hardware... Why does Verizon have to cripple their phones??? When my contract is up, I am switching to another provider for sure. 90% of my friends and family use Verizon, but I don't care. I will switch to T-Mobile, who doesn't cripple their phones like Verizon does!

Any of you out there have comments or concerns with T-Mobile, Verizon or other providers? Would T-Mobile be a good provider to switch to?
