My Latest Verizon Rant

So I finally got around to try and dump my photos off my new Motorola V3c phone (on Verizon). I can swallow that they crippled my phone (so that I can't easily transfer my photos off my phone via my usb cable I one easy go) just so they can try and get more money per picture message. So I start painfully uploading each photo 1 by 1 to verizon's pix place. I think this upload is free, I might get a surprise on my next bill (70 pix x 25 cents). A few transfers go fine, then I get an error that the file size is too big!! Holy crap, come on guys!! Now I can't use the full resolution or full quality (was set to medium quality) of my camera phone without cropping each photo just to make it small enough to send. What a joke!
So a while back I heard about Writely and signed up for an account. I was cool but since I don't write many docs I can't say I ever used it. Well, I guess Google has absorbed another cool internet tool. So I thought I'd give it another look to see if anything has changed... I'm not sure I can tell. Still cool though... Unfortunately it seems registration for new users has been restricted/closed? So I hope you were like me and already have a account. I heard a rumor that there are invites like google gmail had? But I haven't seen that yet. Of course I haven't looked to hard, after finding out to my relief, that my account hadn't been deleted.
