No, they're not. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/packages/apple-iphone-5-16gb-package-sku6450393.html#fbid=4sOHdYnUhP_ 5 will most likely move down to $99 when the new iphone comes out or shortly before.

This isn't true most 3g smartphones (including iphones) are now able to be put on the $80 a month prepaid plan which is either now or very soon offering double data so it's unlimited talk and text and 2gb of data for $80 a month.  All 4g and some 3g phones are still not comptible at this point however.

First make sure text messaging isn't blocked on the phone, the balance on the phone can only be updated if text messaging is allowed. Secondly, your not going to like seeing this but you need to. Just keep in mind every prepaid plan with every company I've looked at operates the same way with this structure.  For the record though I don't understand the false advertising claim. When do payments I've made to my Prepaid account expire? Do minutes carry over? Once applied to your account, payments made to your account expire as follows: $15-$29.99 payments expire in 30 days $30-$74.99 payments expire in 90 days $75-$99.99 payments expire in 180 days $100 or more payments expire in 365 days If you make a payment to your account before your expiration date, any unused balance will carry over and expire on your new expiration date.

Hopefully I can help a bit here.  On the main home screen that is just a widget called quick launch. (or something to that effect)  It is designed to have less clutter on the home screen at the cost of custimization.  This can be removed the same as any other widget on an android device, touch and hold and drag to the trash can.  After that you can customize that screen to you hearts content.  The Rhyme does not use the dock bar at the bottom for apps, but you can add apps to be opened directly from the lock screen for faster acess to frequently used apps.  As far as the app drawer is concerned different phones have them in differently places, the newer HTC phones (Rhyme, Rezound) have them on the left, some phones have them in the middle, (Commando, Galaxy Nexus which is stock android) and other phones (I'll admit, the majority) have them on the right.  And lastly, no phone runs stock android except for the Nexus line of phones, the older one was actually made by HTC, and the newer one is Samsung and is running Android 4.0, or Ice Cream Sandwich. I'm sorry you don't enjoy the Sense UI, I personally love it and would have a hard time going back to a non-HTC phone at this point.  Hope everything works out for you!

Is the virtual keyboard disapearing when you are trying to type?  If that is the keyboard issue you are having it is a well known issue and you can fix it by disabling next word prediction.  I don't have a Droid X but on my phone it's Settings->Language and Keyboard->Touch Input->Text Input->Prediction and you would uncheck that.  If it's a different keyboard issue and for the duplicates I also would say try an app other than the default, they usually do a better job.  If it's still happening after that it's more than likely a network issue for the duplicate txts and you would have to contact technical support. Hope this helped.

For the first issue it sounds like a call to tech support is in order.  Honestly, a factory reset might help but if it's brand new shouldn't need that yet.  I would say if you are within your 14 days go back to where you bought it and exchange for a new one.  If you are outside of 14 days I would definately say tech support.   As far as backup assistant goes I would check and see what it says for the names on My Verizon.  Make sure everything is correct on both sides and then snyc it.   Hope this helps and you get your answers.

Can it call other numbers and just not a specific number?  If it's just 1 number I would suggest trying to call that number from another phone to see if it works.  If it can't call any numbers make sure you have signal and are not in airplane mode.

I actually just saw this happening on someone elses phone.  I came up with an idea to change the homepage to something other than google, and it worked like a charm.  After that even put google back as the homepage and it worked.   *Edit*  Their phone was also the Incredible sound like something with the phone.
