There's a storm brewing...

Makes you wonder how much Verizon will be charging for it online. (rebates are included in the price now since there aren't any anymore, so it would make sense to be around the same price)

if its around the same, lol BestBuy might as well say "i give up, you win, we price match, yes?" LOL

That's funny. They would have huge problems because of all the preorders that agreed to $249. I would hate to see the battle that ensues, strictly because I feel bad for all the people that did the preorder and got jerked around.

Did they change the texting plans? It doesnt show an unlimited messaging option on wirefly...

edit:// Also, the data plan is still @29.99 unlimited.

Not sure how to ask this but....If you upgrade your contract through wirefly, are they responsible for your contract there on out? What I am trying to ask is, does it change your contract with verizon at all?

I still don't understand how Best Buy has the exclusive on this phone yet wirefly is selling it and promising a ship date of the 17th!! How does that work?

Best Buy has "retail" exclusive...

..meaning physical brick and mortar stores ...not online

I noticed that too, I currently have unlimited for my family plan and our son has 325 texts already.....my billing cycle started on the 13th.......yikes!!! The 5000 for $20 is probably as close to unlimited as I can get now.

It does have unlimited texting options -- the "Nationwide Talk & Text" plans -- click on "show all plans" on the main page for the phone to see all available plans.

I can't figure out how to upgrade my current plan on wirefly. Just gonna wait to do it at VZW because I have 5 lines and don't want to screw it all up.

Your phone comes pre-loaded with Bob as the Turn-by-Turn directions voice.

If you're eligible for a $100 or $50 upgrade through Verizon, I doubt you can use it on Wirefly. I'm waiting to do it through Verizon for that reason.

yeah i cant either. then again i cant upgrade on there site anyways, they dont accept Ne2 even though vzw.com says i have 3 months left.

I am in the same spot, but I think I figured it out. However, I don't want to screw it all up either. Wish VZW would have opened up pre-orders too.

Just an FYI...wire fly is SHIPPING on Thursday, so don't expect the phone until Saturday or Monday...

 

[66dude]

Same here. I have a 30 dollar NE2 credit, and it isn't showing up on Wirefly. Also, I see no mention whether the unlimited data plan will also include 4G. I think I'm gonna wait this one out, excited though I may be.

That is a good point! I am very curious to see what VZW charges for the TBOLT after seeing 199 at wirefly.

My money is on $250 with a $50 rebate. That's kind of how VZW rolls.
