The Droid, as with the Blackberry, costs an additional $30/mo? What if I don't want data, e-mail, etc. I just want the phone, but I'm being forced to pay for an upgrade to get data. This is a complete scam and just another way to suck every dollar out of people.
Thanks Verizon!! Contract is almost up....it's time to switch to another carrier.

I think you will find that all carriers (not just Verizon) require the additional purchase of a data plan when purchasing a smart phone. Now whether that is right or wrong is a different question. More customizable plans would be awesome.

Lol.. I have a slightly different problem. The voice service isn't of much use to me. I would rather pay for just data and text and a minimal voice plan. Also, why is the consumers still have to pay for text separate from their data plan?

Well i agree with it being a rip off that any carrier makes you do it .There may be a phone you really like and can't get it because you can't afford the extra $$$$$$$$

The only carrier that doesn't charge an additional fee for data is Sprint. They have a plan that includes unlimited access to all their services for $99. Wish Verizon would do the same but they say Sprint is not their main competetion, AT&T is so they are competing with their plans.

AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile all charge a $30 for smartphones. The new generation phones are data hogs. Sprint includes this cost in the SEP for $99. A Droid without a data plan is useless as it needs data to do it's thing. You want a dumb phone buy a dumb phone.

I'm with A*&* now. Don't have to pay for data if you don't want it with them. Only iphone needs data plan. Atleast you can buy a smart phone with them and opt out of data.

Every provider aside from Sprint and other crappy ones (i.e. Metro PCS) have a data plan. It's just the way it works.

If you go to AT&T's website, all their smartphones require a data plan and those plans start at $30/month. No different than Verizon.
