This sounds awesome if I can get an android phone on it, only caveat is they don't define what network(s) the data plan includes.

Since it is Verizon's network, can one then put any other Verizon phone on it? I am currently on the fence between getting a Verizon dumbphone plan (since i already have one) or an AT&T iPhone 2G plan (since I already have one). This would be a good stopgap measure if I could put my existing verizon phone on it (I like my existing phone, it gets the job done, has good battery life, and is comfortable to use).

That is what i was thinking, i don't see why you couldn't put any verizon phone on it

Far as I know, you can only use their phones. No bringing your current phone over or buying a used phone for it.

Unlimited data for $45/mo looks nice, and it's a little cheaper than $50/mo for Boost Mobile, but the phone limitation kills this for me. I think Page Plus is a better deal if you don't need unlimited data. There's a thread on Page Plus here: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2340618&enterthread=y

Boost also allows you to bring some existing phones over, but they have to be iDEN phones (which are not that common).
