The new Motorola Droid does carry a hefty price tag of $299 with 2 year activation, however, it does boast some long term monthly savings.

1. Droid only requires the $30 unlimited data plan instead of the $45 data plan for Exchange /Corporate email.
2. With PDAnet app ($25 fee one time) you can tether your PC to the Droid and use it for high speed internet access. This means technically you could cancel your internet connection at home and just run off the Droid. This is likely not ideal in small offices etc that require a local network for file and print sharing. For many though, this could be a $40 dollar a month savings by cutting internet service. Keep in mind that the Droid pulls 3G speed which is fine for most browsing and file downloads, but power users who rely on a 5mbps connection or greater may notice a lack of speed.
3. Turn by turn directions for free with Google Maps means you dont have to waste money on a Tom Tom or Garmin. a $50 dollar car mount and your have your phone mounted as your in car GPS. This also saves you the cost of paying Verizon every month for VZ Navigator service.
4. There are a few hundred other conveniences the Droid offers. We will try to write something to focus on the apps available and what conveniences they allow.
5. Our friends at Cellular Connection can sell you the Droid of course. Ask for Caleb or John if you are frequenting the Lewisburg store.
