Verizon Wireless Changes Smartphone Plans
30 bucks is still too much for casual web browsing and personal email!
I rather pay nothing! Oh wait I do! 🤣
Then don't use a PDA phone. Or use the i760 or 6800 with the wifi connection.

If your "casual" then wtf would you need a PDA phone for?

No Brown27 ... you're paying for it - perhaps indirectly. I mean these service providers that you are using must pay their overhead somehow. You think these guys provide you with service out of charity and kindness?

I'd rather you speak correct english!
Here is the official difference
If you need your device to sync with a Microsoft Exchange server, you will still need the $44.99/month option. If you are using the phone for web-based (yahoo, hotmail, aol, gmail) or any pop3 option, you will be fine with the $29.99.
This is similar to the blackberry plans where the $44.99 is required to connect to a Blackberry Enterprise Servier vs. a pop3 or web-based email. If you are using hotmail/msn/windowslive, you will probably want the PPC instead of the blackberry. Blackberries have issues with microsoft email.

I've got a Pearl, and I've used hotmail. Had far fewer problems with email overall with my pearl than with the Q and Samsung i760.

Nothing New Under The Sun
Wow... big announcement. 🤣 🙄
AT&T has only been offering $30 smartphone/PDA all you can eat for a while now and T-Mobile $20 BB almost as long. Just another competetive adjustment but certainly nothing earth-shattering considering it's already been done. Just means the top two carriers in coverage are now on more even ground in this price area.

comparison with unlimited data plan
Anyone know the difference between this plan and their $44.99 unlimited data plan? Is it essentially the same functionality for a lower price on selected phones?
Thanks.
Thanks.
My guess is the difference is you can't use the phone as a modem but you can use the phone's browser all you want. I personally think it's sweet because I was going to dump the date plan because i never tether the phone as a modem but I do us the int...

they recently reduced the blackberry data to $30 unlimited, and it made a lot of pda owners (me one of them) a lil upset that we have to pay 15 more for the same service, so i think they did this to compensate for that
44.99 allows for corp email/pim sync. 29.99 doesn't have this, you literally download an email program that syncs with pop3 account, similar to the mobile email program available on regular handsets
internet use is unlimited though (no mention of ...

Plans is exactly the same without the Corp email option. There is no 5GB cap on email/web browging on PDA, the cap only comes into play when you do tethering. The cost of tethering on the $29.99 email option will be $30 to make it $59.99 just like Bro...

Other than the fact that you have to download a program similar to mobile email and there are only a few devices that are currently compatible, the biggest difference is in attachment sizes. On the $44.99 plan, you can send attachments that are only ...

The plans are actually pretty good considering that those who paying $44.99 and not using corp email, will be able to save $15. Some people will complain about everything.
Will this impact Blackberry options
I'm waiting for the new BB Curve next month! Can't wait to ditch my Treo700w and the awful wireless sync option to push email. Does anybody think this will impact BB plans?
no, blackberrys are already 29.99/month, so now the pda's are the same
Good for verizon i guess
for years all the verizon guys would say we pay more because our service is better! well now you're cheaper like everyone else! 🤣
