Re: Plans with the touch
According to multiple reps I have spoken with both on the phone and at the local Verizon store, this is correct. I was also told by a few of them that they believe they "should" be adding the $29 unlimited/no push email option at some point for the 6900, but no one could confirm or give a date. (It, as of yet, has never been offered for this phone, and every rep on the phone says that the "code" isn't available on their computer to attach to this phone)
The guy in the store when I bought it seemed to know what he was talking about, and said he believes it will be within a couple of months, because "That's how long they usually take to add the code" to phones like this.
I will say that when I called at the end of my first month to see if it was available yet for my phone, I told the rep on the phone that the guy in the store had told me he thought it might be available this month. He quickly started apologizing and said, "Since there was so much confusion with this, we'll give you another month at the unlimited level complimentary... since there was so much confusion." (He kept repeating that as if a manager was listening and he had to be giving a good reason - whatever, don't care, I'll take it!)
So anyway, hopefully the $29 plan will be available soon - I don't use push email, but MUST have unlimited data. I used 116 MBs last month. A lot of that is because I did hack the phone and got the GPS working - very cool, and free - no $10 VZ Nav BS. When the map moves at all, it's a couple hundred k, so you go through MBs REAL quick.
Anyway, hope that helps...
