May 9th changes?
-2 yr activation fee goes to $20
-improved West area coverage (all I really looked at)
-bigger push on Family Share
Guess they want to recoup a bit of the revenue they're losing on the $9.99 add-a-line on Family Share, and upping the activation fee looks more attractive than upping the monthy fees or cutting minutes. Or subsidizing phones less.
Another change is that now you can sign up for unlimted National Access on an aircard for only $59.99/ month, if you fee that the $79.99 for EVDO is too much. Awesome deal if you ask me.

You definite called it about the improved Western coverage. While you can't see it on the VZW website yet (got some lazy webmasters there), the new AC brochure I picked up today showed that coverage in Oregon and Southern Washington got WAY WAY better. 🙂
A lot of the improvement appears to be analog, though.
I also saw some boondocks areas in Northern California get a bit more coverage, as well as Southern New Jersey. No doubt some other states got a little love as well. Though Oregon was definitely the big winner... providing you have a trimo...
