    Microsoft's "Exclusive" Mistake

    Thanks for the idea.. the one time I contacted HTC support they were very helpful. I don't expect them to do anything, but they might have ideas. Switching carriers isn't an awful idea, at least for my usage... the Verizon single line plan (2 gb of data/unlimited minutes + text +...

    Microsoft's "Exclusive" Mistake
