A) The most expensive BB plan through Verizon is $45 and that includes BES access. All consumer data rates are $30 for all phones. Maybe you could get your facts straight in advance. B) You can't buy a smartphone from Sprint or AT&T (IDK about T-Mobile) without a data plan. It is REQUIRED by all. Facts. Again. C) It has been told to me by numerous VZW people that there is no 5GB cap on smartphone data plans. Aside from that, I have tried a NUMBER of times to do 5GB on my Treo, BB and now Droid. I can't do it. I can't watch enough YouTube videos or download enough songs from Amazon or check my email often enough to even come close. 2.2GB is as close as I have come.
