I think you're confusing the use of email with "text messaging." Many folks, myself included, rely heavily on the Droid for email communication and almost never use a text messaging application. The former is covered by the data plan. The latter is not.

I text with Swype NOT the physical keyboard
I email with the keyboard, I type on forums with keyboard
I use keyboard when using IRC chat..
to the OP please go back to the store and talk to a different rep and get your DROID and tell us how much it kills your old BB

I wish i could get that. Cost me a additional $20 a month for unlimited text.
I suspect aldeghij is in for a nasty surprise when he/she opens his/her first Verizon bill.
make sure you're going to an actual verizon store and not a wireless store that is an authorized verizon dealer. Just because it says verizon on it doesn't mean its an official verizon store. The official stores have more authority that the others do not. One store I went to that I thought was a verizon store was really a franchise, and they were trying to charge me numerous fees to get my droid. Then I went to the official verizon store by my house and they were able to waive everything. You just have to go and make a bit of a big deal. I would also suggest you mention your interest in the iphone if they can't do anything for you. That also worked for me.

Shenanigans!
The VZW rep is a typical vulture and a complete ass. There's 2 requirements for any smart phone: Voice, data. That's it.
Buy it online, go to a different store, go to the same store and talk to a different rep. Then tell his manager that he's a lying sack of poop. I used to be a sales rep at a VZW store (secaucus, nj... i'll miss you Mill Creek Mall!) and people got fired for this type of thing all the time.

Agree, Buy it from amazon.com for $19 and activate it on your current number it will extend your contract another 2 years, but you'll have a DROID for $20...

He's off. Your Droid only needs the required data plan, which covers your texting, etc.
Data plan doesnt cover texting
You don't have to have the text, the rep is wrong and trying to screw you.
However you are the kind of people that piss me off. You are willing to spend $200 on a phone and then your ***** and moan because of an extra $20 a month..serious what is $240 at the end of the year?
sorry had to vent, but serious $20?
