Say they will talk more about consumer devices at CES. Sticking with the "by mid-year" 2011 deadline for LTE smartphones

What's your perspective on the pricing? Seems underwhelming and expensive.

It was a surprise, given how much their own executives have hinted about speed caps and tiered options. Melone said they wanted to keep it simple to start with. The $50 plan is actually $9.99 cheaper than the equivalent 3G plan they offer.

Anyone need two guesses as to why Verizon chose Rochester, NY?

At this point it seems to expensive for all but the road warriors who travel all the time.  I myself am thinking of dumping Verizon so I can afford to have a smart phone.  Sprint is looking mighty tempting at this point.

Verizon launched FiOS in Keller, Texas. So I'm going to go with: They like smallish cities with bad hotels.
