Chrome OS -- Concept

[while1]

The base price of VZW's unlimited data plan is $30/mo, but you get 20% off (of the unlimited data plan) if you renew your contract when you buy a droid. That stacks with other discounts - for example, I get another 10% off for working at my company.

orly?

Well, hmm.  I get a 21% discount with my company, so maybe it wouldn't be that bad then.  And the $90 might be incorrect, as I was basing that off of my friend who also has one of the Verizon netbooks he got for free for signing up for a 2-year contract thing, whatever that promotion they were advertising back during the summer in addition to his Droid.

They charge differently for using their network with a computer, because they know you're going to use more data than you would on a handset. If the FCC ever gets involved, they will probably put an end to that, but that's just how it is for now.

How do you figure $90/mo, though? $40/mo for voice, $30/mo for data, $10/mo for texting only comes out to $80/mo, and that's assuming you get those plans, and is before any discounts.
