First of all, I've never joined Verizon for one main reason: If you want to browse the web on your phone, you will use your monthly minutes while your doing it. This is completely unacceptable! That is why I went with T-mobile for a year and now I recently switched to Sprint with the new Treo 650.

VCast does not include PIX/FLIX messaging. If you compare it evenly though...

Sprint charges $20/month for Vision which includes Web, Pix/Flix, etc. Their streaming video downloads you pay more for each channel.

Verizon charges $15/month for VCast and $4.99 month for 40 Pix/Flix ... that's close to the same price, not unlim pix but 40 is a lot for a month and you don't pay for each channel or whatever.

Just my 2 cents.
