[quote=UCGalBut I’ve come to realize that it’s a lifestyle thing driven by kids with texting and mobile internet.
I resisted texting for a long time, but I now need it to communicate with friends and relatives. Of course with the iPhone and all the other smart phones out there, a $30 data plan is compulsory. Add texting that that’s an extra $50.
It’s an affordable luxury. Consumers are now hit with so many affordable luxuries that it’s hard to keep up.

All of the PDA/Smartphone require a data plan… It’s because you can not shut-down the data part of the device and simply use it as a phone…
