Please tell me the author of this review is incorrect. In the review he says the unlimited data plan for the Droid X is $20 a month.
If that is true, Verizon can expect a few calls from me.

He's wrong, or he made a typo. It doesn't matter what phone you have, it's 30.00 for the unlimited data plan.

3 attempts to get to link through various attempts of fixing it, then I gave up.

No idea what if the droid x will have a different data plan but I think the plan would be the same regardless of the phone. If the plan changes it would change for all new contracts..I would think, not just one single phone.

If you want to call up because the price dropped you probably wouldn't get your current fees changed.

Motorola Droid X unveiled, 'made for video' | Signal Strength - CNET News

Says the same too.

The Droid X will cost $199.99 after a $100 rebate and will go on sale starting July 15. Unlike AT&T, which has switched to tiered pricing for its iPhone, Verizon said it will keep its unlimited mobile data plan for smartphones, which costs $30 a month.
The new Droid X also offers Wi-Fi hot spot capability, which allows users to connect up to five additional Wi-Fi devices to the Verizon 3G network. This feature will cost $20 extra a month for 2GB of data for the month. If users exceed the 2GB, they will pay 5 cents per megabyte.



Shoot, was so looking forward to getting upset today too:)

Yup, wrong on both the umlimited prices and the tethering price. Honestly I think he got mixed up and tried to use the $20 tethering price for the data plan, and then the $.05/gb overage price for the tethering quote he gave.

So the numbers he was using were correct, but being applied to the wrong services. Perhaps he should take better notes next time. Too many abbreviations or too few notes can certainly lead to errors like that.
