I've used Palm products since the pilot. I've had a centro for 2 yrs with verizon...now I want to upgrade to Palm Pre 2, but verizon is forcing me to buy a $30/month data plan that I don't want and will never use. I love my palm devices for reasons other than internet access. If Verizon doesn't change this policy, I'll have to abandon palm and go with another carrier. Isn't Palm losing sales becaue of verizon's greed? They should put pressure on Verizon to abandon this outrageous, greedy tactic to abuse their customers.
A webOS device is meant to have a persistent data connection. If you don't want that, then a webOS device isn't a good choice for you. And yes, that means Palm devices do not have much of a future with you.
Contact the FCC immediately and file an informal complaint. As a communication company, Verizon should never by permitted by the federal government to deny internet access by its VZAccess Manager firewall and unreasonable charges. You can find the FCC information online very easily. Fill out the PDF and submit it. The more of us who do that, the more responsive the federal agency will be to force Verizon to reverse its predatory scheme.

Not sure what's up with your responding to a bunch of one...two...three-year old threads, but no one is forcing you or anyone else to pay Verizon anything. If you have a gripe with Verizon, fine. But it doesn't belong here.
