LG VX-8000
Lemme get this straight
I'm sorta confused right now...
It's 15$/month for the VCAST thing...but if you want high speed internet access (EV-DO i think it is) that costs extra? In addition to your 15$ VCAST and service charge?
How much will the (EV-DO) cost if anyone knows...thanks for the help đ

To view the short video clips of a few minutes each using EVDO, the cost will be $15 over and above you minute plan.
If you want to take advantage of the high speed data network using EVDO and have unlimited use, then it is $45 over and above your minute plan.
EVDO on you phone in theory can be used as a modem for high speed internet, very FAST, but right now I don't think Verizon offers that capability but may do so in the future. I have read of others doing it through hacks though.

You can get broadband for a home for cheaper than that, why would it cost so much to get it on a phone, and why would you want to?

We all have regular access to high speed internet on computers that can do a lot more than will ever be available on these phones, for free or cheap. Why would anyone pay an additional $45/ month to browse the web on a 2 inch screen??

Some will because they think it is "cool" and it will impress their friends! đ
Once Verizon releases an adapter for the laptop to add broadband to notebooks, I can see that some business men may find it handy and can add the extra cost to their expense account.
For the average user, where would you use it? At home, not really. we already have broadband at home, and it will not work on your desktop computer, only your laptop. Plus, you can't network it to...

Thats with the $15 service, but its still not really worth it. When they have real television on phones, then it might be worth it to pay $20 extra
Verizon cripples these phones so you can't get most of the benefits that would come with high speed and can only access their content, with a charge everytime. The only way around this is with the 8940's expansion card

đ¤Ŗ i was told by my VZW rep. that it would cost $15 for the complete package above your minute package. HE also said it would be compatible with apple computers, guarented! he also admitted he doesn't have all the facts yet. i quess we will find out what the whole truth is when verizon finally releases it. the USA Today article s...

Here's how it's going to work. $15 a month for VCAST and unlimited mobile web 2.0. If you have the desire to connect this phone to your computer and use the high speed (not available everywhere), then you will pay 79.99 for the unlimited package.
The 44.99 that everyone is talking about it the unlimited high speed on a PDA/Handheld device.

On the test phone, the web 2.0 was NOT at the EV-DO speed. Sorry! âšī¸ Only the streaming data, (TV stations) were at EV-DO broadband speed.
Plus, to be realy effective, Verizon needs to get a good email client for the service to be realy cost effective and useful.
...
Yes unlimited web 2.0 at evdo speed. but what i want to know is if we can use the 'free nights n weekend' things on the evdo?
...
Oh sorry I guess it's not at evdo speed. but for me, it looks awfully fast.
...
On final release, the Mobile Web 2.0 will be at EVDO speeds. All data transfer off the phone will be at EVDO speeds if available.
As far as hooking it up to your laptop, I am sure that you will be able to do a little tweaking and get the EVDO speeds without paying anything more than the $15, but if the system consistantly sees that you are on a several hour data call, they will deactivate your EVDO abilities. This was the same thing that happened when National Access first came out. Was having this conversation with my manager earlier this week.
