Has anybody got a Verizon 4G phone yet?

We just recently got 4G here in Wilmington and I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading... I love my X, but I do a lot of surfing on it, and would love the extra speed.

My son is due for an upgrade in May so he could have my X and I could get a Thunderbolt... :D

Looks like the only two 4G phones they even have now are the Thunderbolt and the Samsung Charge... :(

When's the Bionic coming out?

I have the Thunderbolt and was using the 4G while I was in Charlotte/Kannapolis/Concord area.

Believe me, its blazing fast. I was getting 12-15 megs per second speeds.

But, if you use data intensive apps, it WILL kill your battery. But if you just using occasional data its not so bad.

I just purchased the Samsung Charge from Verizon thier first 4g phone and have had nothing but problems and thier customar service is the worst. It appears to me that they releast the phone before they worked out the moble hot spot issues, it has'nt worked since i took it out of the box. Its been one week and they still have not corrected the problem. So all those commercials that talk about support and show hundreds verizon employees their for you is a not true. So if you use your moble hot spot like I do keep your 3g there is not that much differance in speed.:mad:

Well when your smart phone has more horsepower than your laptop...yeah I'm going to be using my phone and the fastest data would be nice =)

Though I'm on a nearly two year old Moto Droid and a seven year old Toshiba laptop with a beastly Celeron laptop! I wish someone would hire me for a summer job!

FYI

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/05/verizon-to-swap-unlimited-data-plans-for-tiers-shared-family-plans.ars

The days of unlimited data at Verizon will soon be over, the company said during the Reuters Global Technology Summit this week. Verizon CFO Fran Shammo confirmed that Verizon would make good on its promise to ditch its $30 unlimited data plan option this summer, and tried to soften the bad news by saying the company was planning to roll out "family" data plans that could be shared among several devices.

Verizon has long made it clear that the future of its 3G network is tiered. Late last year, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg told investors that the company would eventually swap its unlimited option with several data plans somewhat similar to AT&T's tiered plans. AT&T got rid of its own unlimited data plan last year and began offering either a 2GB tier for $25/month, or 200MB for $15 per month. "We're not sure we agree yet with how [AT&T] valued the data," Seidenberg said at the time, though he did not elaborate on which options Verizon was taking under consideration.

If you want to get grandfathered in with a 4g phone you better get one soon.

We got my youngest son a cell phone yesterday at Verizon and I was talking to the manager and he said that if you have an old Alltell legacy plan (I do) that we should be good. $20 unlimited data plan... he said that they weren't gonna change that for old Alltell customers.

if you have already signed a contract you're son will be fine. But once this goes through if you get a new contract alltell or not this will apply. I really doubt that after this thing goes through if you decide to get a new phone that they will let you keep it unlimited.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
