Do you i600 users out there use the unlimited smartphone plan ($45 a month)? I hear you can enable express network on your plan to use only your minutes. This is good for unlimited nights and weekends, but I want to use online features in class and stuff.

I was thinking about switching to t-mobile and get the mpx200 instead of getting the i600 and sticking with verizon. Then I realized I wouldnt be saving much if anything on my monthly bill. My line is a $20 line on our FamilyShare plan w/ verizon. I could be able to drop this line for free, and pick up t-mo, but then I realized I would be paying the same thing for inferior(maybe) service. To get my unlimited nights and weeked I would need the $39.99 plan, and then add the unlimited internet plan for $19.99 (since I want more then http port). Or I could keep my $20 plan, add the $45 Unlimited Smartphone plan and only be paying $5 a month more.

I dont know. It made sense to me. What data plan are you guys using with your i600?

Peace.

I had Verizons Multi-Sync plan for 3 weeks, it was slower than sin! Cost $44.95 per month (not including taxes) and basically its way too slow for me. Verizon needs to come out with something realistically priced. No one can hardly justify $44.95 (Multi-Sync) or $79.95 (Broadband) for a PDA smart phone.

I'm not sure what you were sync'ing Austiniter, but I use the Quick 2 Net option (I think that's what it is called) and I sync with my Exchange 2003 server and it takes less then 2 minutes to sync everything. Personally, I think that is fine...

I'm using a 1200 minute Verizon plan, with text messaging as the only add on, no Express Network, etc. I've had great success with my phone and it meets all of my needs. It would be nice to have Smartphone 2003, but I can wait for that.

I'm using the unlimited plan; works great. I had an mpx200 with T-Mobile and while internet access was basically free for unlimited, it was slow. ATT coverage is so bad here it is not an option.
