It will be $15 a month through the Get it Now Apps. You get access to all the video clips as well as the Mobile Web and it doesn't use your minutes. Music videos will be extra when the roll out due to royalties issues.

It will be a seperate charge over and above your minute usage plan. Some reports have said it will be $15, but others have said it will be $49 for unlimited usage. The $49 seems right since that is what Verizon is charging for their slow speed service.
EVDO is going to be very limited and initially in only about 20 major cities. Service is fairly limited too, some games, CNN and PBS (Sesimie Street) and a few others. It will not be the whole show, just short clips of a few minutes. Not a very big deal for the average person and a very expensive serv...

From what I rember hearing it's $45 w/ a calling plan $49 w/o (unlimited data like the Treo)but I forget if they said your also paying the x-tra $15 for the new network or not?There is also a pay as you go data plan.
I live in Jersey & before I invest in this I wana make sure that the network is going to be up and running by the time this phone comes out in Feb.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!! Verizon has released numerous press releases stating that the service will cost $15.00 per month, in addition to your regular calling plan. Here is the latest:

You are correct, the multimedia is $15. But that does not give you the high speed interent though, just the same slow Wap 2 browsing.
High speed interent will be an extra charge, just like it is now. Unlimited EVDO including multimedia and high speed internet has been rumored to be $49 in addition to your normal monthly minute plan. 😢

You are partly correct. The Multimedia will be $15 but if you are in a EV-DO market, the Wap 2.0 moves faster as well. The additional fee that you refer to is if someone wants to hook it up to their laptop to use as a modem. It is a required data rate plan in addition to the normal minute plan charge. It is actually 44.95 to be exact.

However, if you want access to the net using the new network that will be a different fee. But the video clips and EVDO will be usable on the phones for only 15 a month.
