Drawback buying from VZW store?

[abnospam]

I always buy from Apple. I just figure they are more likely to give me good support. Is there any truth to buying from a cell provider store will render you lesser service from Apple?

you will not be able to buy at full retail price and hold on to unlimited data if you go that route

Regarding help or support? No. It makes absolutely no difference to Apple if you buy it from them or from your cellular provider. Regardless of what authorized retailer you bought it from, Apple will support you & your iPhone just the same.
