Dear Verizon:

Thank you for selling me this spiffy Treo 650 with your “new every two discount.” It has all the features I want, for hundreds less than the Treo 700p:

• Bluetooth synchronization of my contacts and calendars with OS X
  
• Bluetooth Dial-up networking for my Laptop… oh.. wait.

No it doesn’t. You disabled it, you enormous corporate jackass. Apparently, you cripple the phones you sell in order to make a lot of extra money by forcing your customers to use your wireless data services. These services, instead of using plain old Plan Minutes (and I have a LOT of Minutes), costs about as much as the monthly plan itself. Instead of cheaply (if slowly) surfing the web and getting email on my big-screen laptop, I’m supposed to use the teensy-ass screen on the Treo to read my damn Slashdot.

Well, thanks so some research and a patched Palm OS Bluetooth Manager from shadowmite, I’ve got my DUN (dial-up networking) working on my Treo 650... and by changing one top-level pop-up menu, I’ve got full iSync Bluetooth data exchange.

I’m posting this from the Metro North train, using my Treo fucking 650. No thanks to you, Verizon, you big beeyotch.

Shit.

Love to all. Even you, James Earl Jones.
