Verizon Wireless opens to other phones (AP)

Right on, Verizon is stepping up. This has always been such an annoyance to me. All companies have certain phones you can use with their service. Well, Verizon is raising the bar. They want to be able to open their service to other phones besides just their own chosen phone manufacturing company...but they ain't gonna do it fo free! Each company will have to pay Verizon to be "tested" to make sure it is compatible for it's networks. Hey more power to them. Risk to reward. They're the first company to talk about doing this, so they will reap the benefits if it works out. My company is Nextel, and their phones gotta be by far the most expensive on the average out there. So, if eventually this move will potentially give me some more freedom on what kind of phone I can buy, I say... Thank You Verizon (and Chuck Norris)!
