I have heard of some Android users getting on the Verizon Blackberry plan. ATT allowed some non-Blackberry devices on their plan. I have iPhone International which gives me the same rules. I fear that the various providers will use LTE and HSPA+ as a tool to force us off these plans. I would rather have global HSPA than US only 3.5g, but that may not be most people. I would also rather pay US$500 for my next smart phone than taking a subsidy which would force me into a different solution. One of the nice things about being a stubborn fool is that after a couple of years, the carriers forget about you.
