Welcome to Verizon. That's par for the course. When the original
Motorola RAZR came out, even though you could transfer data through the
usb connection based on Mo's design, VZW forced them to disable the usb
port for everything except charging so that you had no choice but to
transfer any media over VZW's network, thereby using up your minutes and
costing you more. They picked up a class-action lawsuit over that one.
But they still exhibit a lot of that behavior.
If the iPhone does in fact come to VZW, it will be interesting to see
just how much leverage Jobs has over VZW, considering that the Android
phones they sell all come pre-loaded with non-removable Verizon crapware.
