[Hidden-tech] Ack... Palm died... your experience / thoughts on Droid?

[Charlie Heath]

For those who'd like to know the fees they'll be charged, Verizon has
apparently started charging an extra $10 monthly fee for new "multimedia"
phones on family share plan phones.  That is, where they used to charge $10
monthly for a non-smart phone addon line, we're getting billed another $10
fee monthly, I forget the exact description of the charge but it certainly
wasn't spelled out, with a pretty simple LG ENV 3 phone, and it really
doesn't give you any services that we couldn't get on the last generation of
phones we weren't billed extra for.

 

Suggest you ask for a printed copy showing all charges you'll need to pay on
a new contract for any service provider's contract before you sign the
contract, if the fees matter.

 

Charlie

Mr. Jobs and Verizon don't play nice in the sandbox.  You would need to move
to another carrier for the iPhone.

Hi Mavens...

Just when I thought I had cut back on phone costs (thanx to suggestions here
PhonePower is great) and on TV (Roku Box) and was looking forward to lower
monthly costs.... <theme from Jaws rises>

My old Sony Clie Palm device died. It seems all the PDA gizmos these days
are smartphones which require an internet access plan from Verizon.  I'm
figuring if I need to configure and learn a new device it might as well be
an upgrade in technology.

I found a Droid upgrade for $50, but it adds a $30 up change to my monthly
VerizonWireless bill.

Ideas? Suggestions? FreeStanding PDA's worth using? Comments on the Droid?
Other approaches that are less expensive? Commiseration?

Thanx
David
