Doubtful this is the 1st place you're hearing about this at, but *just in case* I have a few links from the Boy Genius Report:

Looks like unlimited talk is $40
Talk and text is $50
And talk, text and the oh so wonderful 3G data is $60

It looks like all of that is modular so if you want unlimited talk and data, but not text it should be possible, but there's no info on a price for that right now.

And if you don't want to pay for all of your phone upfront, but hate 2 year contracts? Looks like there will be some plans for that as well.

All in all, I'd say rumor confirmed, even if it changed a bit from what we thought.
