Finally. Its been a long road, but they finally agreed to waive the etf.
Waiting until T-Mobile has a slim phone that I want. The g2 is too thick. And I don't want a Galaxy.
Can't wait too long, the reception is killing me.

EDIT: Didn't notice that they waived the ETF for you. Good luck.

Given your quote, I do find your complaint about the ETF ironic. You chose originally to pay a penalty if you leave Verizon in exchange for them to take off hundreds of dollars on the device. You could have avoided this hassle altogether by simply paying for the device outright and being contract-free. An ETF is basically a way for the carrier to recoup the investment they made on subsidizing your phone.

The LG 2x looks good but you probably won't see it till April the earliest.
I have high hope for the Galaxy 2 too.
If the leak image is true, that a sexy phone.
would love to see a Version of the Atrix for Tmobile but Motorola doesn't like T-mobile for some reason.
