    hey guys in what order do they push things to the phone? Because I always read threads like this b4(ex. Vzw tones pushed b4 5.0) but I never get them to like a week to 2 weeks after I hear about it on here.

    The only thing I got recently was the My Verizon thingy....I think that happened when I upgraded to OS 5 though.

    Are these pushes really apps that take space, or just links to a web page?

    People People People simmer down.

    These are just shortcuts to Verizon's offerings. They take up no space, they are not forcing you to download these. Make a folder name it hidden, slap in all the stuff you don't want to see (all the verizon icons they push, etc) then hide the folder. BAM done, gone and out of mind.

    in TOS I am sure you signed with VZW, it gives them the right to push something to your phone. If it bothers you so bad, next time read the TOS & don't sign it.
