    If AT&T doesn't also offer unlimited data plans during these '90 days,' they're as dumb as everyone thinks they are.

    I guess if you don't surf the web for more than 2 minutes a day and don't check email more than twice a day and then don't download any attachments. Sure does not male for a smart smart phone.



    Oh, and don't even thing about streaming even one bit of data.



    My Palm Treo has a 5MB plan..lol. And I share it with my wife.

    Why not consider JBing then? When 4.3 comes, the option will be in your phone/ipad, just a question of turning it on.

    Gonna hold out a bit and see what competition in the US market yields. * crosses fingers *

    No, it's just collusion, as has been previously stated. Nothing more complicated than that.

    Is there any precedent for Verizon "converting" an unlimited data account to a capped account? I am nervous that their admission of the temporary nature of the unlimited feature will leave the subscriber committed for 2 years to a plan that they had not planned on. That is to ask: what if they cap the "uncapped" plan that I purchase with the phone?



    Would such a conversion constitute grounds for separation which would release the subscriber from the onerous ETF penalty?

    Absolutely. Zero doubt about that, which is why they won't do it.
