So your options are buy a phone quick, get the unlimited plan, and feel screwed when the shiny new phone comes out on Monday or b, wait for the new phone and get screwed on the plan. Awesome marketing strategy.
Or, wait, C, sit back and wait for the Verizon phone. Well, my decision making just got a lot easier anyway.
I kind of can't believe they're only just introducing tethering.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Verizon has a 2GB cap too. Just ask Liese.

Nuts. But at least they're not sticking it to you so obviously.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint? That's my dilemma. I can get a good smartphone from any of them.
Or are they all equally evil? I was tending toward Verizon simply because they're right down the street from me.

I've had all three, and vastly preferred Verizon. Of course, the service in your area is key. I would talk to friends in town.

I have Verizon and have never had a problem.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Verizon`s cap is 5gig. But boy howdy do I know, since it`s my primary internet connection. Now, mind you, I have unlimited data on my not-smartphone (Env3...I don`t pay for the extra smartphone plan), but that`s only usage on the phone itself, no tethering. I could tether, but it would cost me another $50/month and would have the 5g limit. However, Verizon`s coverage is vastly superior in my rural world. And Alltel dumped me for being too high a usage customer. So I kinda have no choice.

I wonder how much data I use on my iPhone. Bulk of it is e-mail and B.org.
