Too bad its $249 .. Better then $299 but was hoping for $199 like Wirefly. At least its now official

 

[Stevessvt]

Pre purchase at BB guarantees you one on release day, right?

 

[robdec17]

and an unlimited 4G LTE data plan start is $29.99 monthly access.

Awesome. Its in the press release so its official !

When does Verizon start the online orders? I still can't get the TB to show up when I try to upgrade my line....

 

[frodub]

you figured they would at least update their website to reflect the release date and press statement....

nope! still asks you to sign up for more info!

 

[milan03]

And the full price is.....?

 

[woodstorm]

More info to be released later today. It says so in the tweet.

 

[phantom phenom]

Official Press Release

- Unlimited 4G for $29.99 !!!
- Unlimited Hotspot until May 15th !!!!

ThunderBolt

 

[willdogs]

According to the press release, looks like we can order online starting on the 17th, so I guess with overnight shipping we CAN have at our house by friday if we order on-line.

I'm going this route as I hate lines.

I told my wife 299 so that will leave room for goodies

 

[rdubbs007]

I literally just called the corporate store down the road from my work and set up an appointment (AKA reserved my phone and a time to get it) for Thursday after I get off work. They said store pricing will be released tomorrow and he said it is usually $299.99. I said the news.vzw site said it was $249.99, and he just said that they won't know for sure for sure until tomorrow. Awesome!

"unlimited 4G LTE data plan is $29.99 monthly access."



WOW. Seems VZW has taken a bad vibe launch effort and turned it into absolute gold. Who du' thunk it

Smart move VZW! The device will prime folks for 4G (through the year) and reward the early adopters

Mobile Hotspot will be included through May 15 for no additional charge. After May 15, customers may choose to activate Mobile Hotspot for $20 for 2 GB of data per month.

Does this mean that it will remain free for those buying prior to May 15 or you will only get two months free of Hotspot

I read it as will be free for two months.
