Worth it if no 4g?

So I live in an area with no 4g and not on the coming soon list. I know that it will be nationwide by "2013" but we will see

I've been watching this phone for while and I'm questioning if it's worth it to get with no 4g in the foreseeable future

Now that the Inc2 has been seen in vzws system, I'm tempted to wait on it

But, I don't think I could do this waiting game again

So, for you people with no 4g (or people with 4g with a valid opinion) Is the TB worth it for only 3g?

I checked online and my 2yr price is $199 so if I decide to get it, I may go 1 year esp since no more NE2:(
 
IMO, the INC2 is the Bolt w/o 4g except the Bolt comes with a 32gb sd card. INC2 will not ship with Gingerbread but will upgrade to it just like the Bolt. So really the only difference will be about $50 on the price tag (standard $199.99)
 
I'd hold off a few days at least and let Verizon figure out what is going on. We are in a non-LTE area but apparently we're in a non-3G area now, also. At least on the Thunderbolts we have.
 
I'd say it depends where you live. I'm in a 3G-only area for now, but I live very close to a 4G city and the regional maps show that 4G coverage is only 10 miles away or so. I'd expect it within a year, which makes this phone worth it for me. Plus I'll be on WiFi 95% of the time anyway, although it looks like 4G might be faster than most of the WiFi spots I currently use!
