    You can shut the data connection off with most Android devices.
    When I say most, I'm pretty sure there are few that can't shut the data network off.
    And I'm not sure, but it may be something for 2.2+ devices; when my Vibrant was on Eclair, I couldn't shut the data network off. Once it got the Froyo upgrade, I could.

    I'm personally using a Droid Incredible 2 on PagePlus and think they're great. Native Verizon coverage w/o the absurd prices. 30 bucks gets you 1200 talk, 2500 text, and 100MB of data. The $55 plan gets you Unlimited Talk, Text, and 500MB of data, which is perfect for a smartphone user such as myself who is willing to use WIFI sometimes.

    Standard plan is great as well b/c the $10 card gets you 10 cents a minute which is good for 4 months. Buy more=save more. I think the $80 card is good for a year and gives you minutes at under 5 cents a pop. I forget the exact number.

    Ok. Yes, I am considering getting the Standard plan.

    I found a Moto Droid X2 on craigslist for $150, how does this sound? Good deal or no (for me)?

    Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, go for it if you like it.

    If I was looking for an Android PMP, I'd grab a Droid X2 for under $200 without hesitation.
    Just depends on if something is wrong with it.

    No, he says it's in mint condition! It's a 1 hr drive, but he said he would meet me 1/2 way if I wanted to buy it.

    I'd do it if I was in the market!
    Heck, if I was on Verizon, I think I'd rather have that than my Vibrant...

    Alright.. well I'm still trying to decide if I wanna spend $150 on a phone! :p I bought my 64GB IPT 4 for $210, with scratches, probably 6 mo. ago.

    It's a hundred dollars with a contract, four fifty without.
    I think it's a good price, but that's up to you! haha
