Can't say for #2, but for sure #1.. I just gave my friend my old 2235 so he
could do the 1X stuff, he not only activated it on a new account, but they
gave him the option to do high speed so he can connect for the cost of
minutes (no data plan needed). Which by the way you didn't ask about, but he
got a futuredial (data) cable for it at radioshack (didn't have it in stock,
they had to order it, but it's available)

They did hiccup on that (the gps activation thing), he actually had to start
a new account, activated with the free phone they gave him, and then a few
hours later, do an online esn swap to the 2235. It sees the Kyo as a phone
verizon sells and lets it do it. It appears to let you swap esn's to it on
existing accounts, but not new ones.. So just start a new account with a
free phone, at that point it is an existing account, and you can change.
