The Vzn rep I talked to in the store said she was pretty sure it would be $30 for data either 200 or 250, prob 250 since its a 4G, she was a lot more helpful than anyone at BB
So basically... they are giving you a gift card to apply to a phone that may or may not be released on the 14th or the 17th or the 24th... and there is nothing in writing on the data plan?
That is exactly what the story seems to be across multiple tech blogs and here.... Me.. Im going to wait to hold one in hand.. I don't like to buy what I can't see and look at first in person.. Def plan on getting one, but will just hold out the couple weeks..
I was the first person at my local BB to pre-order! They actually had a sign sitting in the mobile area advertising the pre-order which was kind of cool. The girl there didn't have a definitive release date but said her manager told her he thought it would be the 14th. She said they had been told that (for now) the data plan rates wouldn't change. The phone is $249.99 for a 2 year contract. They gave me a receipt and a BB gift card (which won't be activated until you take it back when you pickup and actually purchase the phone). She filled out a Thunderbolt pre-order form they had been provided with all of my info and said they'd call me when it was ready for pickup. She showed me a couple of accessories they already have for the phone but said they weren't allowed to sell them yet.
Just run of the mill accessories so far but she made sure to show them to me so I could use my gift card to buy them. Ha!I was the first person at my local BB to pre-order!

Were the accessories just the run-of-the mill case and/or charger? Anything unusual?
I'm basically going to wait til the Vzn stores have it, I don't trust my BB
What advantage is there going to the verizon store rather than just getting it from BB? Its all the same price in the end right? I just dont feel like possibly dealing with lines and it being sold out.
don't have to deal with the idiots that work at my BB
BB didnt ask or check to see if i was eligible for an upgrade...im buying my TB straight out my upgrade isnt untill september...What advantage is there going to the verizon store rather than just getting it from BB?

I called my BB and couldn't pre order because you have to be eligible for the 2 year upgrade. I am eligible for the 1 year upgrade. For some reason they won't do it that way like VZW.
