Verizon pushes its upgrade fee to $30 on April 22nd

Ah, it was just a matter of time before Verizon decided to leap at the bandwagon of ridiculously high upgrade fees, now that Sprint and AT&T have both exercised the choice. Big Red announced this morning that April 22nd may be the magic date within which it may charge you a fab $30 only for the privilege of buying a subsidized handset and signing a fresh two-year commitment. Granted, it's still lower than the $36 sum that Verizon's two largest competitors now demand, but we're moving into the incorrect direction here, folks. Catch the dreary announcement after the break.
