A lot of newer cars now have wifi, and all you really need is wifi for it unless you work for a major media outlet, screw the 4g and you can only use it on a price gouging tiered share data plan. EFF Verizon

I agree with the mobile network part. I wish they offered a Wifi Only version for less $$$.

Well, you can also have it put the pictures on g+, dropbox, etc. Just because you can put it on facebook, doesn’t mean yo uhave to. You could actually use this as a point and shoot camera and having the ability to have it sync to the cloud is nice. Now, I’m not gonna pay $50 more to have the “option” of using Verizon’s network. I’d only use the Wifi anyways (and tether it if I wanted to on the go). They just lost all the sales from people who might buy this as just a “wifi” device. Good going Verizon!

The only negative is that this is just another device… I’ve had compact cameras that have non-telescoping 3x+ optical zoom lenses. If someone would build a slightly large/odd device (like the Lumina 920) make it a little thicker in the phone part (make it a double capacity 3500mah+ battery) and add 3/4″ of an inch to the top or bottom of the phone for the internal optical zoom lens (3x+) then THAT would be worth $400+ on contract. Build it, and we will come… a true convergence device with a great camera.

Oh yeah, and spend the extra $.0005 and have a physical shutter button…

I hope they keep the production lines open non-stop on these things… Would love to get one at a fire-sale price like $200 or so.

It’d be fairly priced at closer to $399, although I still wouldn’t pay it. Would love to get one used though…

Are they etching “Verizon” on the camera lens? That way it’ll show up in every picture.

The funny this is, somebody will make this camera able to make calls somehow

Really thats too much labeling? Have you seen some of the recent Verizon phones???
And wait till this gets the on contract treatment by Verizon, before people would come up to ask you what device that was. NOW! they just walk away…..=(

WOW to much labeling going on and 550 for a camera on a carrier that’s just stupid. My god you are going to spend to much on top on your phone bill. Not worth it people. if you really need it buy it without a carrier contract. Take my advice and you’ll be happy.

How much to let it share my unlimited data?
