Excellent point. My wife's phone is going to be on month 19 out of 24, so think we're going to be okay. I'll definitely be doing some begging if need be. I should be working instead of looking at this manual, but I can't stop. The settings on this phone look remarkable and the Sense UI really does appear to add A LOT to the mix.
Have noticed one thing from some of the specs. Its looking like this phone may not have been underclocked after all. Think it may be running full 1 GHz. Not positive about that. Can't wait for my new toy!
VZ actually allows NE2 after only 20 months...you do not have to wait the full 2 yrs! Check with them.
