I agree with your points 1 and 3, but the dead spot issue is not purely an issue of feasibility with me. I don't really care if I live in a valley or if I live on a mountain. If I am paying for a service, I want it to work. Period. And if it doesn't work, I should not be forced to pay for it with lopsided 2 year contracts. Give the customer more rights to get out of their contracts if they live/work in a dead zone and maybe then I'll agree that fixing those dead spots in the valley is not a priority.
I agree - I'm also from Mass and a Verizon customer. I signed up for my 2 year contract, got a nifty new phone, took it home, and then found out that I could not get any signal anywhere near my house. Great, how useful is this. The best part is Verizon had claimed it would work fine at my house. Now I am stuck for 2 years with a cell phone I can't use from home. Sounds real fair to me...
And the icing on the cake - I am also a student, and I rent a house at college (2 hours away from home, also in MA). I am in an area that is supposed to get perfect reception, but guess what - I can't be on the phone for more than 10 minutes before I get disconnected. Customer support simply said that there is some source of interference and there is nothing they can do. Wonderful - screwed again. I can walk 200 feet down the road and talk fine for hours, but I can't check my voicemail from my front porch.
I'm all for a Bill of Rights for cell phone users. Customers should have a right to cancel their plans if they can't actually use their plans - aka dead spots. But why would a big company give a crap if I get reception or not once I am locked into a 2 year contract? They don't. Well I want the service I pay for to actually work, or I want to be able to drop the service with no penalty. Makes sense to me...

Sam Adams Chocolate Boch Good stuff.

Microsoft won't fix this until the 2nd Tuesday of next month. So you should have a few more weeks of free support.
