    I plan to add a carrier and flush mount lights at some point, probably not until next winter, so I have some time to think about design, but I build the pieces under the tails of 1/4 for that purpose so they are structurally sound once I get there.

    VERY simple solution. Create a playlist with the songs you listen to the most. Then click the 'pin' option for that playlist when you're on WiFi and it will cache all of the locally on your phone. Then whenever you need to listen to music just hit 'shuffle' on that playlist and it will use no data and just play all the locally cached tunes. You don't have to shuffle but I like to be surprised when a new jam comes on. :D

    This way you don't have to have 15GB of music on your device to have the songs you listen to the most and don't have to use up your data. Data w/VZW isn't free but it's really not that expensive. My wife, mother and I share data and I think we're on the 4GB bucket and I think we use like half of that every month. I think it was only $10 more than the 2GB bucket though and goes up in $10 increments per 2GB. Not really that 'spensive these days.

    Very true. Verizon isn't that expensive once you get over the initial voice and base data charge. They just doubled all the data plan amounts, so 2gb now cost what 1 used to.

    I have about 10 gigs of music on the phone. I just got this sweet app, called airdroid. It can push music, videos, text messages or anything to and from your phone from a web browser. It even has an auto locate, and "stolen" feature. You can also remotely access the camera to see who is on your phone, kinda cool!

    Sprint doesn't have nearly the same amount of remote coverage verizon has, which is the most important thing to me.

    I've always enjoyed the verizon coverage. They didn't have coverage in my home town in wyoming when I first became a customer 12 years ago, however they have since made it happen and there really isn't many places I don't get coverage. They do offer the best nation wide coverage.

    I also don't have any more than the 500MB data plan. If I need to use my phone for data, there's a good chance I'm near wifi. Never gone over the 500 yet.

    I've had sprint for the last 10 years, love them. Never had a complaint with them about anything and they seem to have great family packages, plus $10 a month for unlimited data is great.

    Not worried about reception in the mountains, I lose it every time i go up to off road, so I just shut off my phone till I come out. I have a CB that works great just incase of an emergency.

    CB does not travel very far if you're thinking that route id get a HAM liscense. I would totally have sprint out here if they would up their coverage. They have awesome deals. On the east coast sprint dominates they just haven't done much out this way.

    I'm not a fan of Sprint, but I agree with the HAM radio license if you're into radios and enjoy traveling around with areas of no reception.

    It was the CSAPs when I was a kid. How long ago did they change it?

    Do they still have the special snack time too? That was the best part!

    It switched to TCAP two years ago. Transitional Colorado assessment program. New name until another test comes out, hence the "transitional"
