    My recommendation to you since I have been through this once already - the moment you get the phone up and going go right to the website and just confirm all is as you agreed today. I went all through this on another phone, had all the assurances etc, and got the phone and something told me just to go look how it showed up on the web. Sure enough I had lost the Unlimited. 30 mins with a phone rep later all was well again.

    So, I am not saying you can't do what you did you absolutely can, but I am just saying once you get the phone an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure :-)

    Just got off the phone with my local best buy, and they aren't taking pre-orders. Also talked to a CSR on AT&Ts web chat... she also confirmed that pre-orders are only for the web site.
    When I arrived this morning the first guy I spoke to had no clue. He asked his supervisor and he took over. He was looking at a flyer as well as reviewing all the information on their system. You may have just spoke to someone who had no clue what's going on.

    I was wondering about this very same thing. I would love to upgrade soon but am worried about my unlimited data plan. Please keep us updated on how this works out for you.
    Sure will. Other posters here with same situation. Good we all got the same answer.

    i would triple check that. from what i know the unlimited data isn't an option on their system anymore and once your off, they cant just go in and change it back. so check with some one at a local AT&T store.

    I had enough with trying to get one at AT&T, so I headed over to Radio Shack. I had no problem ordering one. Walked in and no problems. They had a little display on the z10 talking about their pre-order deal, no phone to play with though. When you order the phone you get a $30 gift card when the phone comes in that can be used towards the phone purchase. They just looked in the system to make sure I was ready for an upgrade and had me fill out a paper to hold my phone. All I had to pay today was for a $50 Radio Shack gift card, to hold the phone, that I will use towards the purchase. He told me that if the phone comes in early he would give me call so I could pick it up, doubt they will give it to me before release date. Just happy to have one on order.

    I ordered mine last night, I opened a third line and had no problems placing the order. When I originally tried to upgrade my line it wouldn't allow me to so I just added on the additional line it was well worth it ��

    Same issue today. Some yahoo asked me if I was sure BlackBerry had a new phone. I sighed and walked away. I'll go back tomorrow. During the smart shift.

    So. VZW lets you pre-order the phone without a plan online and ATT does not.
    This so sux. I just don't want to show up next Friday and they not have any. Grrrr.

    I pre-ordered. Only grief I have is my grandfathered unlimited data plan was not a choice. I opened a chat and asked about it. Was told that once I get the phone I can call customer service and get it changed back to my unlimited plan. I snipped the chat box and saved it . Right now AT&T and I are having our second honeymoon. They better honor this.
    Had the same thing happen to me. 2 chat Reps both told me to do the same thing. I saved the chat logs too!..'just in case'...

    It was $649. Then you get the $30 gift card that will bring it down further.

    For those who are "premier": I was too but I learned that it was because it still listed me as being an employee of a former employer. I guess I assumed after I left that they would just take me off but maybe it's purely self-reported. Either way, I called in and had them remove the premier status and, within a couple minutes, was able to order through the pre-order upgrade path online at ATT.

    And, just to confirm what others said, it replaced my grandfathered unlimited plan with whatever I chose--which was also $30. But the CSR said that she would make notations to my file so that when I got the Z10 and called in to activate I could strongly ask them to put me back to the unlimited plan. She said that that plan was like "the gold ticket in Willy Wonka." No joke; that was the analogy she used.

    Anyway, I would imagine that if you have a premier plan you could cancel it just to pre-order online, then call back in and reactivate it since the CSR asked me if there was a different premier/company that she wanted me to associate my account with.

    Just some thoughts. Good luck to everyone.
