Wi-Fi
Droid is Wi-Fi capable, which allow you to access the Internet when you are in range of the Wi-Fi network. Areas within Wi-Fi coverage are deemed hotspots, and can be private (e.g. a home/enterprise network, or a commercial location such as a coffee shop) or public (e.g. municipal).

UMA/GAN
UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access), sometimes referred to as GAN (Generic Access Network), provides carrier services (GSM®/GPRS/EDGE) over unlicensed networks such as Wi-Fi. It allows smartphones that are Wi-Fi capable to make GSM phone calls over Wi-Fi networks.

No, Wifi is home interent, or like wireless internet at a coffe shop or something. You cant use another network, its only Verizon.

I just can't imagine someone ever getting close to 5GB on the Droid unless they have it tethered to their PC (or LapTop) and they are downloaded a million movies!

Scroll down to data packages
Notice the data usage is "unlimited"


Fast i know it says unlimited but is may not be.... These are the articles I have read.

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/181590/verizon_droid_tethering_will_cost_you.html

Im not sure whether there is a cap or not but its something to keep in mind if your using a mobile torrent application or tethering torrent apps.

looks like the 5 gig limit was for  Mobile Broadband Plans for USB Modems, PC Cards, ExpressCards, MiFi™ 2200, Notebooks or Netbooks...not for smart phone data plans
