I bet there is going to be a commercial during the super bowl that will give the release date or something, that kind of makes sense, release during a huge event that almost all Americans watch.
That would be a really good idea.. I wonder if thats how they will do it..
Well, I remember that the first statements of the "release of LTE" was that it was going to be released in Major NFL cities at first. So derekmiller12's statement could hold some truth, seeing as in its superbowl and all...
I do have to say this...
At, 3am I ordered the iPhone. I was afraid of the 4g pricing and did not want to pay extra for services that I cant utilize. I then learned that you can only sign a 2 year agreement for the iPhone and that is absolutely not what I want. So I said I had a few questions that will sway me one way or the other. I am a die hard android fan and the only reason I wanted the iPhone is because of it being 3g and because in my opinion its best to test both worlds inorder to make a good comparison of the two OS's. The rep I talked with said that he didnt know much, but he did know some answers. So I asked him:
Will I have to pay for the 4g premium if I do not live in an area that is going to host lte right away?
His Answer:
yes and no, you are on a 3g unlimited plan at 29.99 currently. If you were to get the thunderbolt and stick with your 29.99 plan you, most likely, will be able to utilize the 4g and 3g at the current rate.
I asked:
so to clarify, you believe that its possible to have 3g and 4g for just the 29.99 price tag?
he said:
yes, however if you alter your plan in any way your grandfather status will no longer be in effect and you will not be able to go backwards.
I said...cancel the iPhone! After taking to that guy I felt great about waiting for this deal and will wait for the TB. I have been waiting since August and now the wait seems a bit more safe for me.
He said, look Im supposed to be getting you to keep your iPhone purchase, but you seem to know what you want and I dont blame you. I in fact think that you are making a very good choice in your decision and stick with it.
so...Im going to get the TB...regardless...and if that phone is on a 2 year only contract, I will have no problems signing up for it...Im now fully content in waiting more.
