Am i using my 2G data package when i am using WIFI?
Whenever you connect to wi-fi (at home, work, local retailers, etc.), no ... you aren't using part of your 2 GB data package.
If you were to activate mobile hotspot, which basically turns your phone into a wi-fi access point for other devices, then yes, that draws from your data package (and also costs extra, unless you're on a Share Everything plan).
Is blue tooth transmission between two phones data-free as well? When I upgraded from Stratosphere i405 to Nexus i515, I transferred my removable sdcard files (pics, docs, music) from my Stratosphere to the virtual nonremovable sdcard0 on my Nexus. Worked, but would have been faster with a phone-pc-phone USB transmission if I had a pc. Read somewhere that blue tooth data transmissions are comparable to wi-fi.
As a side bar, does anyone know of a USB connector to couple the Stratosphere data/charging cord to the data/charging cord of the Nexus? My local RadioShack doesn't have one. Conceptually, this phone-to-phone USB connection should work the same as a phone-pc-phone connection.
I would check Best Buy or Amazon.com for the cord. Or, even Verizon support about the cord.

Why wouldn't it be? You're not using Verizon's network when transferring files over Bluetooth. I'm not trying to offend anyone but I see this type question about wi-fi and Bluetooth a lot and I don't get why it's so complicated.
No offense intended here either, but I see answers like yours a lot in forums. The questions are not complicated, the answers are not complicated... what is complicated is staying within budget while being bombarded with outrageous data fees, taxes, and data overage charges. My son expressed it perfectly: "What's the point of having a smartphone without unlimited data."
