Verizon Wireless is now offering an unlimited data plan for smartphones. Initially available for the SMT5800, the XV6800 and the MOTO Q music 9m, the new data package promises to lower the cost and simplify the management of using your smartphone - by taking away the worry of overage fees - for sending and receiving e-mail and surfing the Web

Hence, the name of the plan: E-mail and Web for Smartphone.

For $29.99 per month with a qualifying voice plan, E-mail and Web for Smartphone (the name gets to the point but isn't very catchy), supports unlimited Web browsing and up to 10 e-mail accounts, including Yahoo! Mail, AOL, Windows Live and Verizon.net.

Verizon says other devices will be added to E-mail and Web for Smartphone within the next few months. Additional smartphones offered by the carrier today include the Palm Treo 700p, 755p & 700wx and Samsung SCH-i760.

A $29.99 E-mail and Web for BlackBerry unlimited data plan is already available. As with the one for smartphones, it requires a qualifying voice plan. If you just want to use your BlackBerry for data (sans voice plan), it'll cost you $34.99 per month.

As of today, Verizon offers the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (in both pink and white), the BlackBerry 8703e, and the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition Smartphone (in both red and white).

Verizon will soon launch some new smartphones, including the BlackBerry Curve 8330, the Motorola Q9c, and the XV6900, its version of the HTC Touch.
