I was never in the target audience for an iPhone because I refuse to use AT&T/Cingular.
This, however, looks like it should kick ass.
And it lives on Verizon, which is good, because I'm not about to switch carriers.

Verizon is actually delivering a full 15mbps sustained. Any time it seems. It's...nice. It's fast. Sometimes, it's even beyond what they tell me I should expect. I've seen upwards of 2.2MBps, which is a bit beyond what 15mbps can deliver.
Once again, I find myself having to say nice things about a telco. This is the second time in as many years. Someday, I may hold them in something less than contempt as the default state.

Um...
I consorted with the devil^W^Wa telco this evening.
As of Feb. 21, I'll have Verizon service in the house for the first time in years. FiOS, even. It'll be cheaper than Cox for the same level of service, considerably faster, and it'll roll my VZW service in with my FiOS, FiOS TV, and land line.
I feel so dirty.
They are giving me a free wireless router (shit I wouldn't let my dog, if I had one, route through), and a free 19" HDTV, which I'm also sure is bottom end crap. I don't really care about the hardware. I'd like the symmetrical 15/15 FiOS service, but it wasn't worth an extra $40/mo. to me. 15/2 should be perfectly livable. I don't do P2P, so outgoing is email, occasional picture uploads, and MMORPGs. Oh yes...and the occasional VPN tunnel to work, but seeing as how the office only has a T1, 2mb is still more than I need.

Please die in a fire.
Fuck it, I'm over being polite. If I ever meet you, I'll soak your worthless ass in kerosene and light you right the fuck on fire my self. After I pull your toenails and fingernails out, just to make the soaking all that much more pleasurable.
Then I'll get nasty.
And then, when I'm done with you, me and VZW are going to have a long chat about me paying to receive your unsolicited shit. A "feature" I can't turn off.
Edit: You can turn this off, but it requires talking to a person. In billing, of all places.
All software sucks, all hardware sucks, and telcos make software and hardware look warm and cuddly.

And I still don't have my damn cable adapters from Avaya. I have spoken with our rep. Supposedly they will overnight them to us once they find some to send us. I ordered two, figuring a spare isn't a bad thing. I was right on with my guess on pricing: $30/ea. Pigfuckers.

chelona's House of Sea Turtle Soup:
( Who wants you, baby? )
There's a company wide telecon on Monday, but I won't be here for it. I'm %99 sure I know what is going to be said. The shareholder voting was over as of 5pm Tuesday, and my guess is that the sale will be officially announced as having been approved, since our Founder/Chairman/CEO pretty much owns enough stock to make the rest of our votes pointless (not that I voted against, it's going to make what little I do own worth 2.5 times it's current value when all is said and done).
I suspect that within 90 days, I'll no longer be employed by a small business, but by a very large one.
Looks like I'll finally get approved to go places where I've been blissfully denied access up to now. Good for insuring that a job will never be an issue (and God hasn't been as thoroughly investigated as I have at this point), but it also means more work. I could have lived with my current level of thing, and I'll definately be poly'd for the new and improved level thing ("thing" to borrow a term fromblueingenue, what a great way to refer to it) Real Soon Now (TM). I've been told I'll be cleared prior to poly, but that keeping the upgraded thing will involve not failing said poly.
Shouldn't be a problem, as I'm not very exciting, odd, or critical of the government. Oh, wait...

krfsm gave us this handy guide to what ails us:

My Avaya sales rep. apparently doesn't want my money as he never bothered to send me a quote for the parts I requested. I realize it's not the money we threw at them for the switch and the phones almost a year ago now, but goddamnit, I still need this. I'm telling you, every fucking asshole who works for a telco is going up against the goddamned wall come The Day.
