1.) On Verizon, you could connect to the 1x data network with a laptop/data cable, and browse the net, and the only charge was the minutes you use.

First of all I would like to say welcome to Alltel and I think you will be very happy. I can answer some of your questions and the one's I cannot their a few people who will have quality answers like Speedywalk who is very knowledgeable into the new OKC markets.
Now for your first two ???'s I have no good answers. Your 3rd ??? is a very positive and you can change your plan whenever you want without changing your contract.

To confirm your ESN question, some reps will do it and some reps won't, my friend went into the alltel store to activate his Verizon branded phone on Alltel and one of the customer care reps wouldn't do it but he asked around until one nice guy would and actually updated his phone so it wouldn't try to pull Verizon towers in alltel markets.
