the "unlimited" plan is limited by the level of usage they deem normnal for a non-streaming user...we aren't even allowed to download media and such. What is the useage limit? 10MB or 10GB? IF 10MB, I should switch off the unlimited program to the 10MB program since it would effectively be a wash. Does this useage limit differ with lap top air cards or is it the same?

Actually the limit on mobile devices (non-aircards) is 5GB per month of transfer.
This is directly from Verizon Wireless' website:
Quote:
DATA PLANS AND FEATURES
Data Plans and Features (such as NationalAccess, BroadbandAccess, GlobalAccess, Push to Talk, and certain VZEmail services) may ONLY be used with wireless devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access (including access to corporate intranets, email, and individual productivity applications like customer relationship management, sales force, and field service automation). The Data Plans and Features MAY NOT be used for any other purpose. Examples of prohibited uses include, without limitation, the following: (i) continuous uploading, downloading or streaming of audio or video programming or games; (ii) server devices or host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing; or (iii) as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections. This means, by way of example only, that checking email, surfing the Internet, downloading legally acquired songs, and/or visiting corporate intranets is permitted, but downloading movies using P2P file sharing services and/or redirecting television signals for viewing on laptops is prohibited. A person engaged in prohibited uses, continuously for one hour, could typically use 100 to 200 MBs, or, if engaged in prohibited uses for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, could use more than 5 GBs in a month.
For individual use only and not for resale. We reserve the right to protect our network from harm, which may impact legitimate data flows. We reserve the right to limit throughput or amount of data transferred, and to deny or terminate service, without notice, to anyone we believe is using an Data Plan or Feature in any manner prohibited above or whose usage adversely impacts our network or service levels. Anyone using more than 5 GB per line in a given month is presumed to be using the service in a manner prohibited above, and we reserve the right to immediately terminate the service of any such person without notice. We also reserve the right to terminate service upon expiration of Customer Agreement term.
Data sessions automatically terminate after 24 hours of activity. Data session is inactive when no data is being transferred. Data session may seem inactive while data is actively being transferred to device, or may seem active when it is actually cached and not transferring data. You MUST press or click END or DISCONNECT button to ensure that session disconnects and charges cease. Thirdparty applications may automatically reinitiate data sessions without you pressing or clicking SEND or CONNECT button. For the Palm® TreoTM 650, the only way to disconnect your data session is to press the home key until you see “All” or “System,” then select the “Prefs” icon, then select “Network” from the drop-down list, and then “Disconnect.” You may be able to send or receive voice calls when your data session is inactive. When this occurs, charges apply simultaneously for voice calls in accordance with your Calling Plan. You are responsible for maintaining virus protection when accessing service.
PDA/smartphone and BlackBerry® Plans: These VZEmail plans cannot be used: (1) for access to the Internet, intranets, or other data networks except as the device’s native applications and capabilities permit, unless you subscribe to BroadbandAccess Connect; or (2) for any applications that tether your device to laptops or personal computers other than for use of the Wireless Sync or the BlackBerry solution, unless you subscribe to BroadbandAccess Connect.
PDA/smartphone and BlackBerry Megabyte Features: Megabyte allowance and charges for kilobytes over the monthly allowance apply to 1xRTT and EV-DO data sessions, which are rounded to next full kilobyte at end of each billing cycle. Only total of kilobytes transmitted above allowance each billing cycle may appear on bill. You are responsible for all charges, including all data sent and received and “overhead” whether or not you or your recipients actually receive the data. Overhead is all data that is in addition to user-transmitted data, such as control, operational and routing instructions, error-checking characters as well as retransmissions of user-data messages that are received in error. Any unused portion of the megabyte allowance is lost.
Wireless Sync: Compatible wireless device required. The monthly allowance applies only to 1xRTT and EV-DO data transmissions, not to voice or other (Quick 2 Net or dial-up) data transmissions. When traveling outside of the National Enhanced Services Rate and Coverage Area, you may be charged at the “other data” rate for data calls. Customers with devices that support Quick 2 Net service will be billed minutes of use or “other data” rate according to their Calling Plan. In order to use Wireless Sync, your PC Monitor or Wireless Sync Enterprise Server must be on and in a condition to receive your corporate email. Wireless Sync software updates will be sent to your device and will be charged as a data call.

If you look earlier in this thread, you'll see that the conventional wisdom/speculation is that the i760 will be released sometime in mid to late June of this year.

Also that information is in the FAQ in the stickies. All the known information about the i760 is listed in there in terms of specs and links to photos and videos.

I never thought to look till a few mins ago but the i760 doesn't look like it's got a lock button. The lock/turn pda off button was great. I always thought it was one of Samsung great ideas. Oh well. If the phone gets better battery life i'll be good.
I agree. We all knew it was May 14th, and lo and behold, it came out on the 14th.
I am sure Blackberrys outsell WM devices on a very large magnitude, so the public was more interested than the i760 (not counting us).
John
"More interested" in the Crackberry"? Perhaps not. "Somewhat excited that BB finally pulled its head out of its a** and introduced a phone with voice dial, a full qwerty and (some) media support, but yet still pissed of that (i) WM lacks the stability of the BB os so it can't widely pass corporate IT and (ii) Sammy apparently isn't even worried about the corporate market b/c it isn't releasing a i760 w/o a camera," seems to more fit the bill.
I told you it was a rant.
Yes, I am excited the 8830 is coming out because it seems to be the best device that my circumstances will allow me to get, but I hear zero buzz about it. I’m the only person I know who even knows (or cares) it’s coming out – and this is among a staff of BB users. BB’s solid & fine, but it still does not have the attachment support of WM or office mobile and I’ll miss those.

On topic: Well, it looks like the i730 is out of stock for my zipcode now
Semi-Off Topic: I find myself needing a more powerful phone than my current Pantech PN-820. Assuming the estimated release date of the i760 is correct (end of June). Would you guys suggest picking up an i730 on ebay for like $100(if I can find one for that) to hold me over until the end of June? I guess I'm asking if it is a worthwhile purchase just to keep for a month or more. I probably won't pick up the i760 the day it comes out, so technically I would be using the i730 for about 2-3months. I'm open to any and all advice.
downloading or streaming of audio or video programming or games - This action is prohibited...so downloading audio programming...is this the same as podcasts or general MP3's which I am sure with other phones VZW allows one to do such a thing?
Back on topic - I could not have a PN-820 for too long either. If you could get a good 730 off of ebay for a $100, not a bad idea...good back-up when the 760 does come out, especially since it looks like the connectors will be the same. Depends on what you need though...After wiping my profuse tears if my 730 died on me, I am not sure what I would do until the 760 came out. It will probably come out early to mid June.

So, I'm guessing the 760 will run around $399.99 or so when it (finally) comes out. Is there a difference between NE2 pricing and the pricing if you're out of contract? For example, all 5 of my lines qualify for NE2, but are under contract until the end of June. Will there be lower pricing offered if I wait until my contract runs out?
...Looks like the 730 is completely out of stock! I think thats a good sign! ...I have an extra (no batteries) if anyone wants it.
Whats an I730 Worth, i have and extended battery 2400Mah, 2 VZW extended bats, 1 slim, Low miles on this phone. Stylus, i have a dozen of them.
Im the type of person who likes to keep old toys even if i don't use them. So, i'm not pressed to sell. I have my I600, My i700, My I730 and will soon have my I760. I'm just hoping the 760 will come out befor my second Trial on the Pn820 expires.
Rant follows
