PDA Plan/Assistance, please
OK, I'm not new to VZW and love my little LG VX8700, it's small and works great for me.
I'm thinking of adding a PDA into my life and I'm not certain that a phone/pda is what I want or need. I think that if I have a combo unit I'm going to miss my LG's small form in my pocket/purse and always be a bit worried about a more expensive toy being snatched.
What I'd like to do is have internet access and, correct me if I'm wrong, if I have a PDA w/wifi I can browse networks for nothing, right? But if I have a PDA/Phone w/VZW then I'm going to pay either 1.99/unit (however they do it) or I'll have to get a "plan" that includes data too ? Right now I have the 900 minute plan w/Unlimited text and pic msg for an extra 9.99. I think the 900 m...

Sounds like you need a Blackberry running PocketMac software. The 2 Wi-Fi devices VZW has right now are Windows OS and I doubt you'll be able to make your Apple goodz work properly on them.
The deal is that a BB (probably the Pearl, based on your size concerns) will require the $29.99 data pack. If you need an "always on" connection that will wirelessly "push" you iCal updates to your phone (when your secretary changes an appointment or something) then you'll need to get the $44.99 data package.
Your real constraint here is that you need 3rd party apps. Something like the Dare or Voyager just won't work for you. The Voyager works fine for me because all I want is web access- I don't needs apps at all. The Dare is a better internet...

It does help, thank you. I'm not certain that I want 24/7 emails coming in. I think I'd rather be able to log on when I want and check them ... so I'm thinking more of a standard PDA than one that is a phone too ? Ack, I dunno.
