OT: recession snags smartphone makers, in an unexpected way…

[quote=carlsbadworker]I think AT&T is the cheapest on data plan (with 200MB limitation). Just wondering if 200MB is enough for occassional uses?[/quote]

I am a relatively heavy data user, and I travel out of town one week a month where my usage goes up significantly. From Mar-Aug 2010 I’ve averaged around 160MB/month (high 204MB/low 118MB). This is from heavy Google Maps, email, Safari, Facebooking, etc. I’m guessing that 200MB is enough for the majority of users today, but as video, Facetime, etc and our mobile usage increases over time, 200MB probably won’t be enough in the next couple years. I’m still on the unlimited plan and will stay on it (since I’m grandfathered in) because of this reason.

If you upgrade to the iPhone 4 you won’t grandfathered in anymore. 😉 In the mean time, you’re paying $5 to $15 per month too much.

200 MB is nothing. You’re not a heavy data user. I stream my radio shows while driving and at the gym.

Wrong Brian,

Original iPhone owners can also keep their unlimited data with iPhone 4

I can confirm because I just purchased my iPhone4 and was presented with the unlimited option for my data plan. I went with it.

I stand corrected. The unlimited data plan is pretty good if you use more than 2GB per month.

In the future, you might find yourself locked in an advantageous plan.
