no thanks

Verizon allows you to move the music to a PC huh? This is the same company that disables bluetooth in its phones. Pfft.

No thanks Verizon, I just want a cell phone to make calls and check voice mail. I don't need your expensive add ons.

Cost

The price is way high. Besides worms are starting to appear in cell phones. No thanks!

Overpriced songs loaded with DRM - No thanks!

I'll simply use iTunes.

Verizon is BRILLIANT!!!

$2.50 per song (estimated)?!?
You know your kids aren't gonna wait 10 minutes to get to a
record store and pay $12 for a CD when they can download a
crappy 128 Kbs version of the same CD for $25 or so!!!
Especially if they don't pay their own cell phone bills. Why spend
their money when mommy and daddy can pay twice as much for
it!
The phone Co's have already pushed text mesaging as a way for
kids to keep in touch with their friends (at $.10 per message).
Now it's ring tones, and music downloads for $.99 to $2.50 per
download (plus a hefty sum per Kb downloaded I'm sure)!
Adults don't do this kind of crap, kids do, and this kind of stuff
is aimed at them.
Cell phones... The new "Joe Camel"!!!
