Truthfully, these sort of issues have been completely eclipsed by stories of Apple and the iPhone, and I can only suspect that Verizon is loving every minute of it. This was a long standing issue why I hated VZW, and made the eventual move over to T-Mobile; i.e. they locked you out of so many features and forced you to use theirs, which came at a premium. If you ask me, this is considerably more of a snake in the grass problem than Apple deciding to give Adobe and the flash platform the boot, when it comes to power hungry mobile service providers.
