Think the Motorola Droid is almost perfect, but it just needs to be a modem for your laptop? Verizon can help with that, next year. Verizon Wireless told us that their "Broadband Access Connect" plan, which allows you to tether your phone as a modem, will become available for the Droid sometime in early 2010.

Since Droid plans are priced the same as all of Verizon's smartphone service plans, you should expect Broadband Access Connect to add $15/month to your Droid service plan. Remember, there's a 5GB/month limit, after which you are charged terrifying overage fees.

"you should expect Broadband Access Connect to add $15/month to your Droid service plan."

This statement is not entirely accurate. BBAC basically costs $60/month (which includes the regular data plan). If a user has the $45 "corporate" data plan, then BBAC will only cost $15 more - but it will be $30 increase (to reach the total $60 cost) for users that are only subscribed to the $30 "consumer" data plan.
