The problem with most of those machines is that they rely on 10 year old technology.  They were great when you were dealing with 1MP pictures.  Sure they added Bluetooth support to most of them, but they never increased the printing resolution.   Give the Walmart thing a try, I think Walgreens and CVS/Jewel offers the same service.  Upload the pictures from the website and they will print on their photo machine.  They even cost a fraction of the kiosk price.  I think my last batch of 100 pictures ran like $5.

If you are using one of those Kodak or similar photo printing stations, the pictures will suck just because that machine sucks.   I've sent pictures to Walmart online from my phone with the 8mp setting and they turned out GREAT.  My wife has even done with with her Original Droid and they turn out good.

Google Droid X disassembly   With the backpiece off you should be able to have more of the remaining SD card exposed.

The X2 does not have a front facing camera.  Honestly I think I'd hold out a couple more months for a better bang for your buck.  Neither the X2 nor the I2 are 4G, they both simply have minor upgrades from the originals.   I've been holding my upgrade option for over a year now.  I'm waiting for something significantly better than the Droid X before I use it.

In all my years I have never seen something like that done.   I think this is one of those cases where you just chock it up to a huge mistake and pay for a new one.   You can probably find further disassembly guides on Google.

It's 3 per year per policy right now and has been for a few years now.  Carriers do have exceptions to this rule though.  I know if you have problems with your phone Sprint will replace it but mark off one of your 3 claims with Asurion.  I don't know if VZW has this same rule though as I've only waranty replaced a couple phones over 5 years time.   But yes, it's common that Asurion replaces devices with a "like" device or a step up if a "like" device is not available.  It will still cost you your $100 deductible though, so concider it a $100 upgrade fee.

Those rates are absurd.  If you will notice, they are the same rates as for Mobile Broadband.  So you get no breaks for paying for monthly minutes.   I truly believe this move will only hurt VZW as many of us legitimate large data users will take our business elsewhere.  Others who use less data will simply opt for the lower priced plans, which will be the VAST majority of users.

Sounds like the LED has malfunctioned some how.  I use Z-Devicetest which is free from the Marketplace to test all my phone's sensors and such.  If you still get no success with that program it sounds like a trip to the store is in your future.

I listen to internet radio most of the day at work (Work doesn't allow us to listen to internet radio or stream anything) I think it would be silly to run at those rates.  Reason being, you don't have to purchase Phone Minutes for your Tablet.  So since we do for our phones we should get a big break.

It is far better than Blockbuster.  I've had Netflix for going on 4 years now.  It takes quite a bit of time for movies to release for Streaming, but you can't beat it.  I use it to catchup on all my shows etc.  I pay $18 a month for unlimited streaming up to 6 devices connected at a time, and I get 3 Bluray movies at a time.     Blockbuster failed in that you have to pay for each movie, netflix = watch every show that's available and it's still only like $7.99 for unlimited streaming.   I've been using the Netflix app on my phone for several weeks now and IT'S AWESOME!!! lol  Oh and best part, you're not tied to Wifi only, it works just fine on 3G.
