There's a storm brewing...

[SoldierofCatan]

[Mapex]

Replace 2 with 12 and you can be Christian Bale from The Machinist.

 

[RetiredJedi]

Chrisy, where you at? We got the good news today!!!

 

[brobertsleo]

Ok....now time to get over to the Bionic forums. C'mon, MOVE IT PEOPLE! We've got lots of work to do.

 

[Cyber Warrior]

Finally!!.....I looked out the window and pigs are flying.

 

[dannyb884]

I feel like dwarf among midgets I'm so excited!

Anybody know the price of the phone on a 1 year plan?

 

[LoD_Cin]

So if its $249.99 with a two year contract will it be $319.99 on a one year contract or did VZW get rid of that one year option?

 

[VideoEngineerAJS]

Man basically 2 free months of Mobile Hotspot is a pretty sweet deal. I figured LTE data would be the same for the time being.

 

[SoldierofCatan]

Now that we know pretty much everything we need to, what the hell are we going to do until Thursday?

 

[BriVG]

usually about 70 bucks more if it is offered...

Also, in the manual it says "The 4G SIM card provided to you by Verizon Wireless contains your
phone number, service details, and phonebook/message memory.
It enables you to make calls and access the Internet using a 4G LTE
network. While you’re abroad, you could also connect to a CDMA
network." Does this mean it's global?

VZW is also giving us free mobile hotspot until May 15. After May 15th, it is $20 for 2 gb data. Can't wait to try that out.

This is a good ploy to suck you in.

People will start using it and if you don't call to cancel by 5/15 it will probably start showing up on your bill. (This is a guess to how it will work)

OK, let's see all of the videos from the people that got to review this monster and couldn't release the video reviews until announcement.

Only in countries that have cdma networks. That's nothing new though

Yep , I can see that happening. Or you get used to using and start to rely on it and have to continue the service.
