Likely 6-8wks from now.
Most of the world will be getting it last week of April or the first week of May. But if my memory serves me right Verizon was a little late launching the S3,...so who knows.

I decided last night that whether I like it or not I have to bite the bullet and upgrade my phone. The Droid X has served me well in the past but it's out of date and the phone has been experiencing issues that in the past wouldn't bother me but they're now starting to get on my last nerve.

The only thing I need to decide is what data plan i need to choose

It has been stated many times that that only way to keep the unlimited data feature is to purchase a phone at full retail price or buy a used device on ebay, craigslist or anywhere on line that will not renew your contract. There is no more "grandfathered in" in regards to unlimited data.

There is no secret way of getting to keep it at the store, over the phone, or online.

You could add a line of service to get the phone you want. Pay for the discounted phone. Then cancel the line of sevice and only pay the termination fee, activation fee, and partial mon...

No I've been with Verizon for 4+ years but I am being told on a daily basis that if/when I decide to upgrade I'll lose it. Yet your telling me I can keep it. How is that possible?

You can,...but you have to pay full-retail for a smartphone, if you get a new smartphone on contract you'll lose unlimited data forever.

We have been over this with you time and time again. You can't sign a new contract and keep unlimited data on that line. There is a thread with plenty of work arounds and lord knows you've asked enough times.

give it a rest, will ya?

Once the Galaxy S4 comes out, you can switch to T-Mobile and get nation wide unlimited 4g data, pay way less every month and not even sign a contract!

Thats what I am going to do. I don't want to deal with this anymore. I like having the option of Unlimited Data considering I stream music to my phone in my car, in the shower, in my house.

Read the fine print....You have 2 choices when getting a new phone with the new T-Mobile non contract plans...You buy the phone outright/or you choose a phone and basically pay the phone off $20 a month in addition to your regular bill...I still think it's a better deal, your still getting unlimited data...I just hope that T-Mobile service is good in my area. According to their coverage map it is....Here's hoping

Time travel.

No one is "grandfathered" anymore. You keep unlimited data until you buy a phone with a contract. Then you have to change.

If you buy a full retail phone or buy a phone from eBay you can activate it and keep unlimited data.......for now.
