Ben,

Thanks again.

The SIMs for the Nokia and the iPhone were sent yesterday by our new
carrier, Beast Mobile <www.beastmobile.net/>. When they arrive and I install
them I'll notify Beast and they'll port the phone numbers from Verizon to
themselves. By leaving Verizon for AT&T I've cut $32+ off my monthly bill.
In the meantime, the phone sits here doing nothing. :-)

I gotta' learn my way around the Android OS for things such as rebooting.
When it's working as a phone I'll do so.

Okay. No rush on this so some time in the next couple of weeks would be
find.
