BEST BUY wrote that the htc hero is able to be activated with a 30$ data add on

I recently found this on a saturday and wanted to stop by to see the hero because that was the phone I wanted to get but couldn't since I would need to switch the whole family to the everything data share plan which would be a waste, so I was excited to see that you could add a add-on for 30$ but I wanted to make sure that the add-on was true and not a lie/typo.

Thanks for posting those pictures. I just upgraded from a TP to a Hero and they forced me to switch from the plan I was on (family text plan 1500 minutes w/ 4 phones, lines 3-4 9.99 extra a month for 99.99 w/ data plan added on my TP for $15.00 a month which equaled 135.00), to the everything data plan which is 129.99 with phones 3-4 at $19.99 each which equals $170.00. Sure I get unlimited data and I can call any mobile network for free now, but we never went over our minutes before and I was the only one using the data. So I essentially have to pay $35.00 more a month because I have an Android phone instead of a WM phone.

I am going to use these pictures to see if I can get some kind of long term credit or something applied to my service.

Yeah I had the same problem. If you manage to get credit applied or some sort of discount applied please tell.
