verizon smartphones

Well good choice! Incredible is an awesome phone they always sell as soon as we get them into my store... i love the phone just hate that they cant make them fast enough...

8mp camera, 1ghz snapdragon processor makes it way fast, OLED screen is bright and crisp, Free android navigation, and Sense ui makes the phone look more modern and is also user friendly... welcome to the android community! Your going to love the phone..

 

ya except now i have to wait a month to get it which is lame.

 

Trust me i waited for a month worth the wait! I was like dam now i have to wait a month but before you know it you will have the best phone out right now!

 

ya well im the kind of guy where if i want something, i want it now. so it was hard for me to fork over 300 bones for something i have to wait a month to get. oh well. the countdown begins.

 

is there a forum for android phones? i really do not know much about the phones. id like to learn how to use it and figure it out before i get it.

 

Come out to my inlaws house with your droid lol Verizon is dead in the water out in that part of Jones County. My iPhone 3GS has full bars and is still on 3G not Edge.

 

i am the same way!

ya there are alot of them i have not joined any yet!

 

I didn't read all the posts...but I have a weird and/or stupid question.

Not all of the smart phones have wifi capability. My husband discovered this 6 months ago... (blackberry), although....it doesn't really matter anyway.

Say for instance, you get a smart phone (that has wifi capability) and data plan..... but you discover you don't use it for data/online as much as you would've liked. Can you delete the data plan but still use the phone to surf the net, get e-mail, via wifi where there's access?? or doesn't Verizon allow you to drop the data plan?

(I think AT&T you can have an iphone and drop the data service)

 

x2..or wait a little while longer and get the droid pro.

 

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i think you can downgrade your plan but not get rid of the data plan completely. i have unlimited data on my droid, but my gf has some samsung phone. its kind of a smart phone but not all the way. anyway, they require all phones that can be considered a smart phone to have a 10 dollar a month data plan. i dont remember how much data it is (200 mb maybe?). but if you have a "smartish" type phone of VZ you have to have a data plan of some kind

 

I can believe that...and if you go over those limits, they probably rape you!!

 

On Verizon, a smartphone must have a data plan. No way around it from what I know. The cheapest data plan for Verizon is $29 per month. So no, you cannot have a smartphone on Verizon with no data plan.

 

I think this was posted once before but I'll do it again..

probably

i think that plan is the unlimited data plan, i'm pretty sure they have a cheaper version for those who dont use alot of data

 

On the unlimited data plan the "limit" is 5GB per month. But you can go over that if you steam Pandora or Slacker daily and that's ok because those apps are on the Android market. I have actually called verizon regarding the issue and they said that it is not a problem. In fact, my friend has a Droid and regularly does 10-14GB per month with not additional charges. I think where the "limit" comes into affect is when you tether using PDAnet, which from what I hear, Verizon can tell a difference between regular phone use and tethering to a computer. I don't know if that is true either because my friend that has the Droid uses PDAnet everyday for his regular internet at home and he has had the Droid since it came out and has never been charged.

Not for the real smart phones. You can get a "3G Multimedia Smart phone" for $10 per month, but that's not a real smart phone. None of the "multimedia phones" have a OS and no access to the Android, WM or Palm app market. You can get some cheesy Verizon apps for like $5 a pop which are nothing like the real smartphone apps. Yes, you can get on the internet, but not with a real HTML browser and the experiance is horrible. I know because I use to have one of these phones and it is well worth the extra $20 per month for the real deal. If you want a Android, Windows Mobile or Palm OS phone you must have a $29.99 data plan.

 

That's funny.....

 

my bro and sis both have the eris on VZ and they each have the $10 plan. i assume that is not considered a smart phone. but they can still search the internet like i can and use the android market. they have the android version 2. something (cant remember the exact version.)

 

The Eris is a smartphone, but I question the $10 data plan. http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Android-Devices/Data-Plan-for-Droid-ERIS/td-p/126131

Maybe it's this..

I just called Verizon because I'm getting my wife a smartphone in about two weeks to ask is there anyway to have a smartphone on Verizon with anything less that the $29 data plan, she said no. All smartphones require the minimum $29 data plan. If the $10 per month was true that would be great because I use about 1 gb per month.

 

hmmm.... i dont know then. they are still in school so my mom pays for their phones and i remember her asking me about data plans. she refused to pay the $30 a month plan, but mentioned the $10 plan. is there a way to share data plans? cause i know for a fact she isn't paying the $30 per phone but i dunno what other options are available. i'll have to ask her cause now i'm curious.
