Not only that, but Verizon has introduced, or is in the process of, their own music download service. The iTunes phone directly competes with that. It's highly unlikely that Apple would make a VCast compatible version of the phone. I'm still on the fence about wanting this phone. On one hand,

This phone is GSM so it won't work with Verizon anyways. They would have to come out with a whole new phone that does CDMA. Not really that hard, but it still another assembly line. The iPhone has a full Safari web browser built in and should give as good web access as any other device out

Well, here is the latest. It was a VLK license. Which means it was a bootleg and I would need either a legit VLK to replace or buy it at 150. Since it's his money he will have to decide on 100 for XP home and a reload or 150 for Pro. Hope he does for the 150. Sounds like a cheap XP pro to me. --

I've never had a phone that would hold a charge that long while taking continuously. I'm doubtful. Talking isn't the problem, using the menus (screen being on and backlit) or having Bluetooth on is a killer though. Colour screens can easily use more power than the radio transmitter/receiver.

What is a VLK licence, by the way? It is a Volume license, probably made with a key generator, which were the ones WGA was targeting.
