Thats funny... Im a statistic! :mrgreen: I push email to my Mot V325, and have used it on the web a couple of times... What I really need now though is a phone I can tether my laptop to...

Im thinking a Mot VU30. I hate those big bulky phones! This coming from a guy that still has his Ultra Classic laying around...

:horse:

Why on earth people get iphones is beyond me.

Because maybe you want to call your mom. Well, there's an app for that.
Maybe you need to split a check between two people and calculate a tip. There's an app for that too.
Or maybe you just want to charge the battery. Well, there's an app for that.


Oh crap, my phone from the turn of the century can do all that! And I hear you Rich--I'm in the exact same boat except with Verizon. But there are times when a data plan would come in handy. Not enough to justify $30 a month of $0.0015 a kilobyte.


Or maybe you want to stream scanner audio to your iPhone over 3G, ya there's an app for that too....

Maybe because the iPhone is worthless without a data plan, and so people figure if they're paying for it, they might as well use the browser? A ton of county employees have Crackberries, and I bet e-mail is more important than web.
