Everyone loves to be able to download music to their phone, but to take away the ability to add music from your computer to your phone in mp3 version will deter some consumer, like me.

Agreed.
Some people won't care, but others definitely will. Its just so silly... having mp3 support is no big deal, many people obviously have a ton of mp3s sitting on their computers, so why strip out the feature? Because Microsoft TOLD you to? Blah.

Looks like the 'shill machine' is in full effect. Yet another very recent account, making no other posts than ones to defend VCast Music. Is the coffee good in the marketing dept, bro? đ
Look pal, peeps did not WANT to complain about VCast Music. Verizon CHOSE to go with the 'no mp3 support, kinda high over-the-air pricing' model. No one forced 'em. And now they're shocked and defensive when people say its not so great? Whatev.
Now I'm hearing that the over-the-air downloads are only 64 kbps WMAs? For a $1.99 download? Yeah, I also hear that a high...
