Verizon Wireless has updated wireless broadband plans with a new $80 monthly option for 5GB of data. Other Verizon Wireless plans include 1GB for $50/month, 300MB for $30/week, and 100MB for $15/day. Verizon Wireless offers post-paid broadband at $60 for 5GB/month or $40 for 250MB/month.

The HTC HD2 will soon be coming to Virgin Mobile for free on a £30/month 24 month contract. Not only is the price picture perfect, but this £30/month plan comes with 800 minutes, free text messages and unlimited data with a 3GB fair use cap. Compared to Vodafone’s 500 MB fair use cap we’d say that this is shaping up to be the best HTC HD2 deal we’ve seen yet.

Virgin Media has today announced a new UK partnership with HTC Corp., a leading smartphone designer, which will see the cutting-edge HTC HD2 smartphone added to its range of handsets. The HTC HD2 is the first HTC branded phone to be made available through Virgin Media, and marks the start of an expanding range of high-end handsets perfect for consumers looking for the best possible mobile Internet and entertainment experience on the go.
