I can upgrade now, as it has been over a year, or I could wait till November till my contract ends. I think I'm gonna hold until my contract ends with Verizon, and switch to the best phone possible (Kal-EL anyone?) regardless of carrier (unless the carrier is notoriously terrible at service). After the codec issues with the Tegra2, I'm just waiting on Samsung's Exynos GPU (although that might change in the near future). 4G wont be avaliable anywhere I live anytime soon, so.....eh.

Edit: Sorry for the numerous amounts of side notes/parenthesis :p

3G won't be capped at all, will it? If it isn't, then I'm pretty sure 5GB will be enough for me per month with 4G. I'm pretty often in some place with wifi, and I don't watch many videos or download particularly large stuff directly to my phone, so I'm not gonna rush out and get a Thunderbolt now. I'm still waiting on Verizon's Galaxy S II before I make the switch to a new phone (or some comparable, non-Bionic dual-core phone). :D

EDIT: I did just realize that I won't be able to do any data intensive tethering on 4G, which sorta sucks, but I've been fine with 3G, so I'm not gonna suddenly start complaining now.

3G smartphone plans have always been and will always be unlimited. Yea they have a soft cap which they issue warnings and stuff, but I've never seen any, and members on here claim to use about 15-20 GB on 3G and never claim to have been bothered, so I'd say, yea, its pretty much unlimited.

Since it's now Friday and nothing seems to have happened (you would have seen a big fat announcement somewhere), let's file this under "debunked".

Wait for the Charge, folks.
