So I'm Looking to Lock in Unlimited and Get the Droid Bionic Later...

Yes if you lock in right now with a Droid Charge, you can buy a Bionic whenever it releases AT FULL PRICE, and replace it.

Just go into your local VZW store, and it can be done in a few minutes.

Cool. thanks. Does VZ charge (pardon the pun) for that?

90% sure they dont

They do not ... well, at least, in my experience, they don't - and you don't need to go into the store to do it.

At the bottom of your "My Verizon" page, there's a link to "Activate or Switch Device." There, you enter the new ESN and boom! done.

Now, I'd assume that switching from a Blackberry to a Droid is a little more complicated, for something like that I'd guess you'd need to go into the store, but it should be equally simple.

press *228 on the Bionic to activate the device on VZW's network.

Don't do that - Verizon's site says not to use *228 on 4G devices, and there are claims across the net (and in Verizon stores) that it can destroy your 4G SIM card. Activation is different for 4G devices.

Whoops. Classic case of ignorance on my part. Thanks for the correction.

No they dont charge as long as you already have service with them.

i've switched from bb to android and back and then back again. you can do it online no problem, you just have to change data plans to bis or out of bis but it's the same price. just make sure your phone that you're switching out is off because last time i did it i ended up with phone service on my android and data service on my blackberry. that took a lot of work and time to get both services on the same phone again...
