I just prefer the always on ubiquitous connection I get from having an LTE version. Plus adding it to my existing VZW plan will only cost $10 per month. I'm fine with that balanced against the convenience.
This right here just sold me on the LTE model. I checked my verizon account a moment ago and can confirm $10 per month. I never knew about this option honestly.
This is cheaper than tethering from my smart phone which is about $25 a month extra. I'll take the $10 charge anytime + no hassle.
Having the extra GPS capability is so worth it.
Thank you
