I want to be able to turn off all data so I don't get the scary bill when I get back. I want to be able to text (still costly but not as bad) so I can check in on my kids. Please tell me it's easy, and that it will work on the Droid X too...

Why shut off data?
You're going on a cruise... sooooo,
1. Why not use the ship's WIFI?
2. Use the cruise ship's WIFI and use email instead of text messages, or "google talk"?
3. Use the cruise ship's WIFI add some funds to "google voice" and use it just to text and to talk to your family?
4. Use the cruise ship's WIFI and use "google voice" and "Groove IP"?
When we went on our cruise, we bought one of the minute bundles for their wifi. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but of course it was expensive. They track you from the time you "log in" until you "log out," whether you're actually using any data or not. What I did was compose my emails while not connected, then all I had to use was maybe 5 minutes to connect, send email, download email, and then log out and read email. You have to be real careful, kinda like in the olden days of AOL and dial-up where you paid by the minute! And it was painfully slow, I don't think any sort of video chat would work very well.
