The normal Verizon personal plans are a rip at $44.99. However, Verizon offers a BlackBerry data plan for $29.99. That's what I pay for my Storm. Not the cheapest, but it's not terrible either.

I bought the Storm for the wife for Christmas. I fiddled with it for a couple of days, and once I understood how it worked (there's a learning curve), a week later I had one as well.

This is true on the horizontal querty keyboard. However, with the "SureType" keyboard - which took maybe a whole 15 min. for me to get used to - I can easily do 30 wpm. It isn't perfect and every so often I hit a word that it misspells, but I'm not any slower typing with it over the hard qwerty keyboard on both of my old Windows Mobile phones. I rarely use the qwerty keyboard anymore on the Storm.

Also as far as changing phones, SIM cards....

Enough said.

This really depends on your area. I actually live in BFE, and between visiting friends/family who have T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Nextel/Sprint, only those with Verizon & Nextel/Sprint get reliable service, and AT&T is actually the worst where I live which is why I don't have an iPhone. However, they all say they get great reception in their areas.
