Yea but it's a great deal and if you are always in the car or need access asap, $60 is great. Business Write off

Agreed, $60.00 is still a little pricey for the casual user.

I'd like to see them bring it down between 40 and 50 ... I think it will sell much better then.

I plan to use EVDO as my 2nd connection once FiOS becomes available. It was a tough choice to make at $80/mo, but a no-brainer at $60/mo.

This isn't promo pricing, is it?

They were probably selling that service to business users for the most part at $80.

The price cut is likely aimed at attracting the non-business consumer. More sales even at a lower price will help build their customer base for the product = more $$$.

They might as well drop it now before some of their competitors do.

$60 is fine, with on the road stock trading, three clicks and you can make $130+ eeesaay.

Frankly, I'm surprised they were selling it at all. I went in to a VZ wireless store around 2 years ago, and it was like pulling teeth to get details. I got the distinct impression that they didn't want my $$$.

 EVDO could fill in gaps of wired broadband

With EVDO becoming more widespread and with future enhancements promising T1 speeds, the technology may be a reasonable alternative to other wireless broadband solutions.

Re: lol

if you are sure you can make money on trading. even 6000/mo seem cheap. That's it, only if you are sure you can make money, and the only one who said making money from the market is easy are someone who's new to it.

True, it probably sold itself to those that have needed it in the past.

Why is it that att only charges $30 a month for their service? Is there a difference between the 2 services?

Because AT&T/Cingular's data speeds don't come anywhere close to Verizon's data speeds. EDGE, which is the fastest data service offered by AT&T/Cingular, is about as fast as Verizon's 1xRTT service (about 60-80kbps). EVDO smokes EDGE in every possible way.

I relish the day...

...when we might see this as widely available as basic cellular service.

If you need this service, $60 is a deal.

Verizon and Sprint average around 120kps on standard RXT. Edge is around 90.

EVDO is around 600kps to as high as 1700kps
