New deals from VZ
I haven't seen any threads of comments about this here yet, but there were several stories in various newspapers including the WSJ about VZ offering much better deals to their customers starting in the fall of this year.

Does this mean you will be able to replace a defective phone for $50 without paying the insurance fee per month?

Is that $50 per month requirement before/after tax? I bet you have to have the $59.99 plan or more...

The 50.00 replacement would probably be no matter what line you are on. This would obviously be for only defective...not damaged phones. You would still have to have the insurance for that. Pretty much appears that they are just selling a FRU unit. And I would say the cost of those is about that anyway.
