Love it, finally 1-year contract confirmed!

Hmm, extra $70 ain't so bad for 1 year less on contract.

I have to work tomorrow, so rather than showing up after work and them being sold out, I will just order online tonight and get it delivered on Friday. Does anyone remember the code to get the free next day delivery?

Nice, $50 cheaper then what I was thinking for full retail.

Could the 1 year plan be a trick? After the 1 year plan is over and you get a new phone, they don't let you keep your unlimited 4G and you end up paying $8743987547 for 10mbs of 4g data?

I want to say that my ranting earlier about the 3AM EDT releases that online retailers tend to do (LOOKING AT YOU STEAM) influenced VZW to do online sales at midnight for us tonight.

Then again, maybe they are smarter than I give them credit? Shrug.

If the non-voice data-only plan is $50/5GB, I highly doubt tiered pricing for devices with a voice plan will be anymore than that; in fact I would wager that it will be $40 or even $35/5GB if you have a voice plan, which isn't much worse than what we have with "unlimited 3G" (which is actually just 5GB).
