New $29 Smartphone data plan offered by Verizon

Starting today, Verizon will offer a new $29.99 smartphone data plan to its customers. This plan is targeted to individuals who do not require corporate Email connectivity (BES, WSES, GOOD), but instead use standard Email accounts, such as Windows Live, Yahoo, AOL, Verizon.net, and POP3 providers. Also included is unlimited (5GB) data usage for web surfing and Email attachments. As of now, this new data plan is only avaliable for use with the SMT5800, XV6800, and Q9m smartphones, but according to Verizon, it will be offered to more devices in the coming months. Hopefully the XV6900 Touch will be included in this list, as it is due out this month.

False. It's available as an option for the Q9m, XV6800, and SMT5800 in the upgrade section of "My Account".

VZW
Did a horrible job letting their employees know about this plan ahead of time. In fact, the only way they DID let their employees know about this plan is a blurb about their press release on the intranet home page, not exactly jumping out at you if you see the page. So basically, don't be surprised if you get VZW reps completely unaware of this new plan.

WOW!!! I don't blame vzw for not telling their reps. This is huge news that would have leaked. I know a lot of people that used sprint bc of the data plans. I see a lot of people switching.

Dazed and Confused
Unfortunately, I am not showing that this data package exists and I'm hoping that I'm right...

Seriously verizon likes to take their sweet time releasing phones... Makeing ambigous release time frames that are essentially meaningless... Everyone knew the exact date the iphone would be released, which was really good marketing.. but verizon likes to keep secrets and withhold information as much as possible... they have an unhealthy need to always be in contrtol of everything... I really don't want to switch to them but my whole family has it... I freakin hate it
