It's actually $45/month for the unlimited data plan if you also have a voice plan. And Verizon will require you to have a data plan. No way around it. It will be added and charged to your bill automatically.
While I don't recommend it, they do have a $25/month plan that will limit you to 10MB of data usage. If you go over that limit, you'll need a new mortgage.
A new BlackBerry will cost you at least $199 with a 2 year agreement. That cost might be a little lower if they still sell some of the older models, but I don't think they do. You could always try to find a used unit here on the BBForums or on eBay. But be very careful.
As Ennjay said, they do have bundled plans now that kind of obscure the cost of the data plans. They did that recently (within the past few months) and had an advertising campaign that made it seem like they drastically overhauled their price plans. They didn't; they're exactly the same as before. Just combined features and started advertising the combined rates.
