If I do a factory reset, my phone will automatically activate itself because of the SIM card right? I wont need to call vzw?

That is correct. I did a factory reset on mine and didnt have to call verizon or anything. Just set it up to my likings again.

Just remember to not activate that vzw backup thing when you do the reset.

I actually had to replace my TB at verizon, and they did before they gave it to me to set everything else up. That was actually the last thing they did before they handed me the phone. the second I got in the car I factory reset it again so I could not activate it that time! HA!

What's so bad about backup assistant?

You're backing up your contacts with Verizon opposed to Google's server. Flashing different roms all the time. It's better that I back my contacts with my Google account. Theyre way easier to recover after a data wipe

it runs in the background and does an update daily. my brother has a limited data plan and this was a big issue for him as it used up a lot of data. i personally just dont like it because it kind of messes up my contacts. it imports both my google and the backup assistant. they get grouped together, but i hate how when i select my contacts, it shows 3-4 contacts.
