  • Quote: Originally Posted by solipsism It seems quite logical. The iPhone, like the Palm Pre, require a data plan because the subsidized cost of the handset is much higher than other phones. For AT&T or Sprint to not require a $30/month unlimi…
  • Quote: Originally Posted by JeffDM I don't think you are trying to understand someone else's viewpoint. iPhone is also an iPod + phone in one device. A device that syncs contact & calendar data to the computer too. A cheap phone + a touc…

  • Quote: Originally Posted by GQB um, no... the 'whole point' of the iPhone is that its a "phone". And it can do wi-fi. Why in god's name would I need to spend $30 extra a month for a service I don't need? 95% of my time is spent within wi-fi ra…
  • Quote: Originally Posted by teckstud It just gives people a choice. Not everyone wants a data plan- some just want aphone/iPod. it's just an added choice- increases penetration. why would anybody get an iPhone if you don't want the data? That'…
