Honestly, I'm not sure. I just stopped in to a Verizon store and talked to the rep about if the pixi plus was a smartphone and if I could still get a discounted Bionic later on. He said "Yes" but then added on "As far as I know" which made me a bit nervous.

lol y ea they try to be sneaky... so... you should double check that. so i might just get a smartphone and then return it a few times till i get the Galaxy S2 
.
.With Verizon there is no difference in the price for service between month to month and contract. Everyone pays the same, just that with a contract you get a discounted price on the handset.
iv had vzw unlimited data plan since 2007, i was told last month that if i upgrade my usb 727 to the newest lte aircard thats 4g, that i would loose my unlimited data cause 4g is a different network. granted 4g is not in my area yet but i was told around the first of the year it should be. it would be nice to get a 3g/4g card but i dont wanna loose my data plan.

so probably better to get a month to month plan and hope that the galaxy s2 comes within the next month?
I'm somewhat sure that a 4g card doesn't have an unlimited data plan and never has. If they had one for 3g it's probably a legacy plan.

If you return it, and wait (I think it was 14 or 15 days) from the time you return it, you are able to redo a purchase and wouldn't get hit with a fee and lose any discounts.
that was my rep's response my last upgrade cycle.
Ok, my question is (I apologize if already asked): I currently have the Droid 1 unlimited data. If I upgrade to a 4G phone is that considered a data plan change? I really want to wait for the Bionic, but if the tiered pricing change affects my account by upgrading to a 4G phone; I will need to upgrade to the thunderbolt before 7/7. Or should I be fine and can wait for the Bionic?

b/c i am trying to do this get a phone then return it after 14 days then if the galaxy s2 isnt out by then do it one more time and hopefully its out : X
I'm not sure if this was asked already or not, if so, sorry for the double post. But, I plan on adding a line to get the bionic when it comes out, and then putting the bionic on my current line, and a dummy phone on the new line. I currently have the dx2 (in which i'll be getting rid of) so I'll keep my unlimited data...My question is once I add a new line with another smart phone, is verizon gonna screw me into getting a shared data plan or will they make me get the tiered plan with the new line and leave my original line alone with unlimited.
Here's a carrot for us early adopters.....it is leaked that current 4G phones can get unlimited tethering for $30 a month after 7/6.

Can't edit my post....
If you get a 4G phone after tiered data is in place, you can only get the $20 for 2GB tethering option.
no, you cannot wait that long.
I remember when I ahd the NE2 (and several coworkers) and the issue was brought up to our rep that if we get a phone and didn't like it and wnated to return, what would happen to the NE2. We had to wait about 2 weeks at least after return before we got a new phone, in order to have the NE2 reset and avoid the return fee. I believe once we returned them, it was about 15 days.
