One other factor that could result in buyers remorse on VZW is the rumored iphone 5 coming out this summer.

VZW is smart though, they're not releasing the Thunderbolt until > 30 days after the iPhone4 was released, so anyone that bought an iPhone on day 1 isn't eligible for Verizon's "try it for 30 days and return it if you don't like it" policy.
I am talking about VZ. I compared the T-Bolt to the Evo on Sprint because that it what it is. I don't think the T-Bolt will cause buyer's remorse on VZ. The iPhone 5 might but we jumped on the 4 for a handful of reasons, chief amongst them our HTC handsets acting crappy, but also because didn't want to wait until possible July, not buying into the hype, and a slight fear that VZ would follow AT&T's lead and eliminate unlimited data upon the release of the iPhone 5. It's pure guessing on my part but it seems that the industry has been very much incestuous as far as policies and when one company does something, others tend to follow. For example, VZ didn't have a restocking fee until AT&T instituted one, VZ used to have a 30 day return until AT&T went to 14 days, and now VZ also has the iPhone. I have absolutely no proof that the unlimited data plan could be eliminated by VZ but paranoia about that was another reason we made the leap now.
