A:AnswerIPhone apps aren't necessarily going to be the same (or even available) on Android. Transfers of other items (contacts, photos, etc) can be done, although its not quite as easy as a similar brand transfer.
A:AnswerPer a Verizon representative (via Verizon Wireless chat), the Verizon version is a post-paid Verizon phone only, that the unlocked version from Best Buy can be activated directly through Verizon for prepaid accounts.
Per the chat w Verizon rep:
"Other than locked versus unlocked, are there any differences in the specifications between the 2 versions? I was going to get it from Best Buy today.

The 2 version are the same unlock and the Verizon version, in this case I would like to check if the Verizon version have any plan included, allow me to ask you, do you know if the Verizon version have any plan included?
But the 2 version are the same, both can be active with Verizon service

Thank you so much for confirm that, and when you try to make the purchase is asking you for your Verizon information?
Agent at 15:49, Nov 27:
Yes it does, both on the Best Buy website & at Best Buy with an authorized rep.

I would love to have access and get more information, however if is asking you for the information and you are getting an error, that most be an postpaid option, but with the unlock device you are going to be able to activate the device with Verizon too, we just need to order a SIM card and when you get the SIM card and the phone we can activate the new device

If I purchased the unlocked version from Best Buy online tonight & brought it to a Verizon store, is the store going to have a SIM card available or can they use my current SIM card?

You can use your current SIM card too, to activate the new device, that's correct
