Any reason why I shouldn't buy a TP2?

the only reason why i dont have the phone yet is because im waiting for verizon to take over this area and then i can get the phone without (hopefully) having to change my plan at all.

I was formerly with Alltel (bought by Verizon), and I was able to upgrade to the Touch Pro 2 online without changing my core smartchoice plan. I've heard they'll give you a lot of trouble over it in the stores if you try to keep your Alltel plan. You can't keep any add-ons to your plan though. I had to drop my $7.99 My Circle text messaging pack and pick up the comparable Verizon pack, which is $2.00 more a month. I can live with $24 a year extra for the Touch Pro 2.

And to the OP, I can't think of any reason not to pick up the Touch Pro 2. I'm enjoying it even more than I thought I would.

yeah but now i heard that they fixed the online problem so my only choice is to do it over the phone which i heard they will not give you as much of a hassle as in the stores. i might go in the store just so i can pick up the phone right there and if they make my change my plan im walking out.

I just did it online last Tuesday, so if they've changed it, it's just been in the past few days. After signing into my account and clicking on the option to upgrade my phone, it showed me which phones were compatible with my current (Alltel) plan.
