As opposed to what, "complex" picture messages?
Cross network MMS messages are subjected to arcane rules, no matter what carrier you are on.

Stitch really should be saying "I am an Xbox" Neither PC or Mac!
Yes - because I'm always alone and have no friends or acquaintances.
I guess it's not just AT&T...
Cool, you posted the link here too. I think the Android camera did a much better job captureing the details of the photo's than the iPhone. It's going to particularly shine in indoor settings when taking pictures of people at parties and the like, which is what these things are used for as much as otherwise.
The color saturations are off, and it does at time look a bit "grey". But I imagine that's just image processing in the camera, and can be adjusted with updates. I half expect there be a way for the user to adjust the settings himself.
Looks like Verizon is doing everything it can to drive users away from the Droid.
"Tom Bradley reports in PC World that the new Motorola Droid smartphone will cost users $199.99 with a 2-year contract, with an additional $30 per month for the mandatory 'unlimited' data plan that has a monthly cap of 5Gb. Verizon will charge $50 for each additional gigabyte over the 5Gb limit on the unlimited data plan. Verizon has confirmed that tethering will cost another $30 per month for an additional unlimited data plan that is also limited to 5Gb. If you want tethering you will pay $60 above and beyond the monthly contract for service for an 'unlimited' 10Gb of data per month, and if you plan on connecting with an Microsoft Exchange email account you have to pay another $15 a month. 'Verizon seems to be doing everything it can to make the Droid as unappealing as possible by nickel and diming customers so that actually using it is not cost-effective,' writes Bradley. "
My fear is that they are going to do this same bullshit, nickel and diming when they offer the iPhone.
It probably wouldn't effect me as I already pay for a data plan now, and I doubt I would go over 5GB a month - but I suppose it's possible. I also have no need for tethering. That said, I'd prefer a $99 Sprint like plan that just included everything without the nickel and diming, or in this case $5 and $10 to death. $50 for each GB over is assanine though.
I have GMAIL and IMAP on my phone, and really only 'browse' on it for Facebook and to check weather, sports, and news headlines. But this is my last week's data from online:

However, I imagine 5GB might go quickly if you have alot of apps on the iPhone or Droid.
Squidly - do you know how much bandwidth you use on an average month?
Friend here at work just bought the Droid. He's actually activating right now. The screen is just gorgeous and the Gmail and Google calendar apps are great.
He actually has an iPhone AND now a Droid as well. Take two, their small. :)
I have my wife calling their company rep at Verizon to find out what kind of deal I can get on a droid. I have 7 months left on my two year upgrade deal for phones.
