well some window mobile phones have the 44.99 plan

The 44.99 is for business customers... All devices require minimum 29.99 Data plan. If your accessing a corp server or backing up wirelessly on Windows Mobile you'll need 44.99. Thats the only difference.

What is wrong exactly? You didn't make any sense therefore you obviously don't know what your talking about.

Have you been paying any attention at all? What is your reading comprehension level? This very article says "especially when Google Maps Navigation is offered for free without any monthly subscriptions."

VZNav is a Brew application and is made specifically for the device. There isn't one for Android yet as the device is new. Plus GoogleNav is free. I work for the company and free is way better than 9.99 :)

So will we be able to put SENSE UI or MOTOBLUR on it? How's the Facebook application on here? Anything like blackberry's where you get specific notifications not through e-mail?

I played w/ the 'dummy' version @ BestBuy today and the keyboard was awful. I couldn't even tell if I had pressed a button. If anyone has see a working version, please tell me that my experience was only because it was a dummy.

the google nav works amazingly...so does the latitude prog...i am having too much fun playing with both droid models... i am more impressed with the moto...but the htc and the sense ui is nice...as well as it feels like half the weight and alot more comfy in the hand....the moto really is iphone sized...just a little too big for most people....but the virtual keypad, especially in landscape is by far the best i have ever used... the apps are great on both, and there are specific ones that only work on the moto with it being 2.0. while the camera is 5.0mp on both, the moto far outshines the htc in everyway that i tested it, and the 16gb on board card is nice too....i wish they had put more rom in, because i went download crazy, probably about 30-40 apps and widgets and it left me with only about 200MB of free space. I want to be able to download 500 apps if i want to... the htc in that sense is nice because of the 7 homescreens....where as the moto has 3...so you're limited on what you can display as far as widgets go, especially since facebooks takes up half a screen. im going with the moto...it feels solid...has the nicest screen i have yet to see and just is amazing....this is the iphone killer

Below is a headline from CNET,,,,,,,everyone wants to be like the king and all anyone can do is attempt a good copy. And all you VZ people can say what you want about the iphone, but when it comes right down to it it's what you all want. So much so you're eager to hurry out and grab all those copies (i.e Storm and now Droid, even Sprints Pre) just as fast as you can. The iphone is a proven champion,,,,,good luck with your copy.
