This phone looks SOOO much better than the Voyager! It is so awsome! But Verizon is SOOO stupid to force customers to switch ot a nationwide plan. When will they make a touch phone where it can be on a regular plan. They should allow customers to do this who don't want to pay more per month! FIGURE IT OUT!
Nationwide plans cost exactly the same as the old America's Choice plans. I got to play with this phone a week ago and wow, it is bad ass. I am an LG fan of course, but I totally like this phone better than the Voyager.

no they don't smarty pants. i have americas choice 1000 anytime minutes for 49.99. i'd have to pay 59.99 for 900 minutes with nationwide. figure it out.
i just bought this phone yesterday & had to switch to a nationwide plan. the nationwide plan costs exactly the same as my americas choice plan did. so you need to figure it out.

you probably have less minutes than. I was going to get the Glyde, but I don't want to witch from 1000 minutes for $70 to 700 minutes for $70. You are right...Nationwide is the same price as the Americas choice , but less minutes.

Nationwide is more expensive. 1000 minutes for 50 dollars. Nationwide is 60 dollars 900 minutes. Meaning what you just said means that for Nationwide you have to pay more for less minutes. Ur soooooc stupid. What grade are u in? Kindergarten. Never mind...even a Kindergartener knows that.

Ok, i thot they said it was ten bucks more a month wich does add up, but its ok. nfortunately for me, I can't get this phone until June 3rd 2009, since I didn't know it was ot. Verizon is taking too long to release it tho. I got the Flipshot instead, as I didn't like the voyager enough to pay the price...hopefully the Glyde will cost less.

George becareful because the flipshot has a defect in the software read below where i explained.!!!
There is no additional fee for switching to the nationwide plan. all that means is that the nationwide plans replaced the america's choice plans. the only thing you get extra for the same exact cost is mobile web for a $2 rate per megabyte of use. plus you dont have to extend your plan. you only get charged if you use it, so if you never use the web, ur not looking at any additional fees on your bill.
The Glyde LOOKS better than the Voyager, but is it actually BETTER than the Voyager? (especially for signal strenghth). I've always been skeptical about Samsung phones on Verizon service but lately they've been performing well (Gleam, Juke and u550 especially). Samsung always had the pretty phones with cool features but really lacked as an actual PHONE. As for switching to a Nationwide plan, there's really not too much to worry about. It would take a lot of browsing to reach a megabyte ( at $2 per). Your real costs will come when you start downloading apps and ringtones. With that said, I liked the $5 flat rate that Mobile Web had to offer ... even if meant using some of my minutes ( which I don't use much of anyway ). It really all depends on how you use the web. But this is really a nice looking phone. Now let's see how long it takes Verizon to release it.
I thought this phone was going to be as big as the F700 but it looks like they shrunk it down a bit. GOOD NEWS! Its now back in the running to actually fit in your pocket comfortably
