For those who will soon get their hands on the Verizon DROID by Motorola, the Big Red has a nice surprise waiting to happen. Verizon has confirmed that in early 2010 the DROID will have access to the Verizon Broadband Access Connect plan.
As we all know, the Motorola DROID will launch this next Friday, November 6th at $199.99 after a mail-in rebate, and of course, new two-year agreement. And for those who are planning to get tethering with their DROID, well, it will likely be priced at the usual $15 per month on top of your regular data contract.
Since a standalone data card from Verizon gets you a 5GB per month limit, we believe that would be the same with the DROID. But, as we mentioned before, you will have to wait until “early 2010″ to be able to use your laptop on-the-go paired with your new Android phone by Motorola.
anyone running cyanogen's latest knows that tethering via usb is built into the rom already. It's only a matter of time.
It is a known and documented fact that if you should exceed VZ's 5 gig monthly data limit on their so-called "unlimited" smartphone data plans, they don't slow you down, like T-Mobile (if you should exceed T-Mo's 10 Gig monthly limit), Verizon just promptly cancels your account.
Further, I wonder if VZ will be trying to keep droid customers from rooting their phones at all? It would not surprise me in the least.
I am aware that because iphone sales are killing VZ, they are trying to break their control freak habits, but we all know, old habits die very hard.
