the 5GB you're referencing is either the broadband access or broadband access connect (tethered modem).]]>Aug 28th 2008 3:27AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/
and that 5GB they are talking about is the cap on the 'Unlimited' plan. it mostly protects against people using their phone as a modem to download alot of crap. if you get up to that 5GB then Verizon can cut your line. i wonder if they would charge a termination fee for that? cause that could be a simple way out of a contract if not.....]]>Aug 28th 2008 5:50AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/Aug 28th 2008 3:11PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/
don't be so arrogant. all verizon data plans have a 5gb soft cap. Read, IN FULL, the terms and conditions on verizon's website.]]>Aug 29th 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/
actually, I can afford a sense of arrogance because I know firsthand.

Before March 2008, any "unlimited" data plan did have a soft cap at 5GB. If you exceeded that, then your data speeds could be, and most likely were, throttled.

After March 2008, there is a 5GB data plan for both Broadband Access (wireless modem) and Broadband Access Connect (using your phone as a wireless modem). Both cost 59.99/mo, with the Connect just being an add-on feature to an existing line (data plan + feature = 59.99 total). If you exceed the 5GB, you are charged $.25/MB overage.

I guess it's in the wording of the statements - the impression I was getting was that you only get 5GB, after that you're SOL (including one person who said VZW could cut your line). This is not the case. Is there a "soft cap" even on the "unlimited" data plans for smartphones? I'm sure there is. But if you get to 5GB using a phone-based browser, then I would say you have some SERIOUS issues.]]>Aug 30th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/Aug 28th 2008 12:27AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/Aug 28th 2008 1:23AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/Aug 28th 2008 1:59AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/Aug 28th 2008 1:22AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/27/blackberry-storm-9530-for-verizon-gets-boxed/

Check out Rogers Centre (yes spelled that way cause it's in Canada). Or check their website. Good luck getting a Rogers phone in the states.

I wonder how many months it will take Verizon to figure out how to fold up that box.

I hope that I am wrong and that this spec will change and that BB will include it as it was one of the phones on my list to "check out".
