You need at least a $39 voice plan and a $29 data plan for this phone. Text messaging is extra and not counted in the data plan.

Voice plan (lowest individual is $40/month, lowest family is $70/month) plus $30/month for required data plan. Exactly the same as AT&T for the iPhone.

Definitely the hottest new phone on the market by a long shot, imo. Hopefully motorola is using this phone as a chance to turn their company's image around. Their built quality has been just about as bad as you can get for the past 4 years. I swore off of them, but I'm willing to give them another shot depending on how this phone turns out.
You can run about 300 apps on 256 mb as any properly written app will store most data on the 16gb storage card. Not to mention there are programs that will run apps from the storage card if you manage to use up all 256mb.

Ya it is a spec that makes me scratch my head. I don't know what Motorola was thinking by only allowing 256 mb on the phone for apps. It will be more than enough for 95% of Droid users but the other 5% who want to have multiple 3d games and download many memory intensive apps are going to have to "root" their phone. As much as I would love to have a few gigs for apps, like many VZW customers, I'm due for an upgrade and I need the best phone they have.
