I got it and for the last 24 hours I’ve had 0% time without a signal. I’ve also got 67% battery left after more than 24 hours. I don’t have HSPA+ at home, but I use Wifi there. At work and other places around town I get it with speeds of 3Mbps or so.

thinking the exact same thing–i’m already saving $ & selling every DVD i have to purchase one in the near future after i can ETF my Vz contract. i’m right on the line of 3g/4g coverage in my area–but for $30/mo i’ll deal with 3g speeds…esp for a GSM nexus with faster updates than a CDMA version.

testing out coverage today @ the T-Mo store–hopefully they don’t have a repeater/booster in the backroom.

agreed, what good is tethering if your only allowed 2 gigs or what ever you choose.

Couldn’t you save even more by just using the free hot spot that the share everything gets you and removing the tablet from the plan? Means you’d have to have the phone nearby to get internet on the tablet, but I’m guessing you would anyway.

My Bill went down about $35 too, even with the 10gb data pack. I have two smartphones and a tablet. I’ve never gone over 4gb on my phone, my wife has never broken a gig and i probably use about two on the tablet. I never really taxed my unlimited because I prefer to watch my movies on a 40″ or bigger screen, not a 4″ screen. I rarely even watch movies on my tablet except on planes or at airports, and most of the time there either the file is local or i’ll use wifi. Pandora doesn’t tax my phone overmuch, so I don’t worry about it.

Stupid post not posting… sorry if this somehow pops up twice.
Now saving $35 bucks a month ($420 a year) using share everything. My family (3 smartphones) uses almost no data (250mb so far over half way through current billing cycle) so it doesn’t make sense for us each to have 2-4gb of data each. I set the plan to 1gb of shared data. If we find ourselves using more in a given month I just have to login, increase the amount of data we get, and then backdate the change to the beginning of the cycle without any extra fees. Not thrilled with VZW parsing things out this way, but can’t argue about saving money.

I use 7-10gb a month. I stream youtube, music, Netflix and then normal use like Facebook, downloading games etc…….i pay $80-$90 a month. there is no way Verizon’s shared data plan would SAVE me money. For all the new customers that are thinking they are saving money being provided vaseline for the anal raping? Seriously……its another instance where the CEO and stockowners are robbing the poor just to be rich!! Screw Verizon!!!

We aren’t talking about upgrading MY line though, we are talking about upgrading ANOTHER line and whether or not if affects MY unlimited data. My impression is it does not, unless you explicitly choose so (ie changing the entire plan over to shared data)

You want to use GV for an many calls as you can (I have it set to ask every time, cuz if the intewebz connection is poor it won’t work so I want to be able to use my non gv number)

I hear you. I bought the Thunderbolt on Verizon in July 2011, before the Galaxy Nexus was announced in October. Horrible timing for me…

From what I understand you will have no benefit if you sign another contract if you are not upgrading your phone. I am off contract right now with unlimited data and I am not going to do anything. Keeping using my phone and keep using unlimited data. The contract really only gets use when you buy a phone at a discounted price.
