couple of questions?phone and data package
i have an upgrade and im wondering what phone to get either the droid X or the droid incredible. what is the better one to get. if i get a smart phone im probably going to get the new data package for $15.
...
maybe connect my email to an app, download some apps to fool around with, maybe some internet during classes.
...
I wouldn't recommend the $15 package then.
And both of those phones are great. couldn't go wrong with either one.

yeah, but why are you going to take any risks?
buying a droid x but limiting yourself to what you can do on the device is like buying a corvette and then putting a 65 mph govenor on the car. Whats the point of spending the money if you don't want to use it?
Plus if you use 151 mb's you're paying $30 a month anyway. Might as well enjoy the device for what its used for.

Sounds like an android device is something that you WANT instead of something that you NEED.
In life, if you want something nice, you have to pay for it. If you don't have the money to pay for it, be financially responsible and get what you need. The time to get what you want will come soon enough.

OV is absolutely correct. If you can't afford it I would not recommend buying it in the first place.
In 18 years of working in this industry there is one inarguable fact, it is EXTREMELY difficult to change your lifestyle so you can get a cheaper rate plan.
Your best bet is to first determine if you can afford $30 a month for data. If you can't (and if a $15 difference per month breaks you please re-evaluate your personal budget) then you might need to get a phone that won't gobble so much data.
If you can swing it then get the phone and $30 for unlimited. Examine your usage for 2-3 months then determine if how YOU want to use your phone (not how some website says you could use it) fits the $15 plan. If you are always staying be...

I'm gonna try that JuiceDefender for a month just to disable my data and see how it goes.
I wish CDMA phones had a setting to disable EVDO and let 1xRTT data keep going like GSM handsets do. The way I use this thing, I could go almost forever on a 2G data connection supplemented by WiFi. âšī¸

If you're trying to go on the cheap and use the $15 plan, get the Blackberry Bold.
It has Wi-Fi to use most places, but when 3G is all there is, Blackberry is WAY more efficient on the data side.
In the short term, you're sacrificing a decent web browser (until 6.0 O/S comes through for the Bold later this year).
In the long term, you're sacrificing gaming options because it's an inferior product to the Android options.
You will NOT be satisfied with 150 MB on your Android. The day the tiered rumors started leaking I switched over to massive Wi-Fi hog mode and practically shut off my 3G (via airplane mode) whenever possible (I have Google Voice to deliver my SMS and missed call notices over Wi-Fi) and I still burn 50 MB a...

I agree. I am connected to Wifi at home and at work, so practically all the time. I still managed to use over 2GB in a month.
