    When I upgraded to my A930 2 weeks ago, I was able to browse the music collection fee-free before this announcement. It looks like this doesnt apply to the other items (like news and sports)

    what do they mean by, "in conjunction"? does this mean VCAST service is only free for Chocolate users? i really hope not because i would like to get free VCAST service on my a930. i hope verizon can update the samsung software so i can finally play my mp3s.

    All this means is that VZW is dropping the $15 fee for those who wish to ONLY use the music store. All other VCast functions still come with the $15/mo fee.

    znupie: Don't hold your breath. VZW isn't known for re-enabling features on phones once they've been released into the wild.

    Rather have the best coverage than mp3s. I can put those on my mp3 players.
