Verizon has introduced a pair of prepaid plans with unlimited calling and texting for $60 and $70 the other day http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/prepay/processPrePayRequest.do?type=ppmonthSP

Unfortunately the plans are only applicable to 3G smartphones. If you are looking to add one of these plans and you need a cheap but very functional phone I've got two sitting in a drawer that are ready to go, a Motorola Droid 3 http://bit.ly/11fJjUw and a Samsung Fascinate http://bit.ly/11thibx. The D3 is back on stock unrooted Gingerbread right now although I have previously run it on Ice Cream Sandwich for about 6 months as my daily driver. 

The Fascinate is running Cyanogenmod 10.1 (aka Android 4.1 Jelly Bean).  If you are want either phone I can provide it either with stock firmware, or pre-rooted. I'm asking $100 for the D3 with the car dock and $75 for the Fascinate although I will entertain reasonable offers. If you're interested, shoot me a note at https://sam.abuelsamid.com/contact-me/

Last year at the Geneva Motor Show, Bentley unveiled a concept for its first SUV. To put it mildly, the world was not impressed with the design. Most of us called it hideous. With Luc Donckerwolke now taking over design at the VW Group luxury brand, they have opted to scrap the EXP9F and take a different direction. I still don't think Bentley needs an SUV but apparently customers with more money than sense disagree.
