[Tfug] broadband opts

[Matthew Eskes]

Dont worry about VCAST, its not in Tucson yet ( I work for VZW.) And to be 
completely honest, I dont know what the heck is so great about trying to 
shove EVERYTHING into a phone, personally, I think they need to lay off the 
crap. Afterall, what is a phone intended for? The last time I checked, it 
was for speaking to people, not, email, internet and all that other crap. 
The absolute furthest I will go with it is PDA/Smartphone with txt 
messaging. nothing more.

My phone supports EV-DO, but I don't know if Verizon's VCAST service
is worth the extra $5/mo. Might be kinda fun to try out for a month,
though. Phoenix and some other markets already have access.
