I'm thinking of getting a droid. It isn't the cost of the phone that I'm trying to get over, its the $30 a month slow leak out of my pocket...

Yes i'm using PDANet, it works great, and 5 gigs is a surprisingly large amount of data, considering that http connections compress the data.

the $30 a month is annoying, but my parents are paying it for now (YAY)...

if you read the Engadget review, you'll find that, overseas, they have a DROID with GSM... even so, i doubt Verizon's going to switch over from CDMA anytime soon.

I've now had the phone for a while, and it still runs at full speed (and i use tho multi-app feature much more than i thought i would)

Also, contrary to the VZW adds, you can use data while in a call. I've tried it, it works.

i've used more than 5 gigs, and they still bill us nothing extra! seems like unlimited really is unlimited... we'll see if that changes in the future.
