You are right but they also have not released the phone should we quit talking about that too? There is a high probability that they will change the data pricing when this phone is released... if not it is coming this summer for sure.

I would gladly pay higher for unlimited, full speed data on the bolt. Tiered will work for vzw until there is more competition. 3g wasn't always unlimited. Its cyclical and cmpetition will drive down the price. Right now they don't have a lot... but they will when att and sprint are rocking LTE.

So what if i am in a non LTE area. How can they justify charging a tiered data rate for me?

We dont know how its going to work as of yet...There answer would be to not buy a 4G phone if your not in 4G area. We dont ever know if they are going to sell the item in non 4G area's either.


Wait and see Game :(

why would you gladly pay more? $30 a month for unlimited 3G is already a lot of money... i'd be happy for nothing to change, but more than $30 a month for data is a no-go

Because I am an american and believe in paying for the value of the service. Faster would mean more valuable. If 30 bucks is a lot of money for you you may want to reevaluate spending 250 on a cell phone.

You can travel to areas that do... the same way I can travel to areas that do not... if you don't want to pay the premium (if or when that is ever truly determined to be).

If you don't want to pay the premium, if there is one, then buy a 3G device.

Sorry, but that is your option.

lol, the "value" of the products we pay for here in the good ol' U.S.of A (and any other developed country) is substantially less than what we pay for them. Sorry to break it to ya. The "value" of even a 3G network is nowhere near $30/month for unlimited. We are being raped with that price, but that is the industry standard because they know they can get away with it and there isn't a thing we can do about it.
Anyways, that's not the point of the thread and I digress.

Value is derived by what the market will bear... I digress.

Sorry, Captain America. I didn't realize part of being an "american" is to gladly fork over more money for something that's vastly overpriced as is. Just because you can afford to pay more for something doesn't mean you should be happy when someone charges you more for it.
 
Hey,
Remember the HTC Rep that tweeted yesterday...
@ImranHTC ?Are you ready to call down the HTC ThunderBolt? The first 4GLTE Smartphone on the Verizon Wireless network is launching on March 17th! Yes!!?

Anyone notice that he's missing from Twitter altogether now?

Oh my god, you killed Imran! You B@$ta~d! :'(

Yeah, but your wages are substanitally higher than the value you're contributing versus the value you would add in say... Thailand where I'm sure 3G prices are cheaper.

This is a America. You make American wages... so I'm not sure why you think you should make American wages yet pay for the value of services in a country where wages are substantially lower.

Econ 101 is this way ----->
