I would like to get a smart phone, I just don't justify the cost of internet. $35 for internet service for a mobile device, when I pay $42 for Comcast internet. The greedy telcos don't one a single standard and the government allows it to continue.
You can't even tether legally on an iphone or g1? WTF!

I have verizon, but I don't see the purpose of having the ability to rage on the internet on the go. Plus, I usually have my laptop with me so I just use that.

iphone and mac are for urban fags. HTC all the way!

The Iphone is pretty worth it, especially the gps features. The only problem is signing that 3 year contract to get it at a good price.
For instance in Toronto they have the Red Rocket app, and you can type in your destination, and it will tell you how to get there using public transit, where to walk to the stop, what bus to take, where to get off, and you can track your movements which is awesome! I dont have one, but if I was willing to sign with Rogers for 3 years I totally would get that for my next new phone,
I am totally fine with Koodo and not having to pay system access fees and free text messaging. I settled for the Ipod Touch

For as little as I talk on a cell phone, paying any of the monthly fees for the iPhone just doesn't make sense. If you total up the two year monthly cost plus tax it's a pretty hefty chunk of change, even on the cheapest plan with data. I'd much rather have a dumb phone and spend the hundreds of dollars I'd save in service fees on something else.

It makes web surfing a joy when i'm poopin'. For some, this may be the ultimate deal breaker.

Seriously, think about this when handling other people's phones.

I have a palm centro that I'm pretty happy with.. the main reason i didn't get an iphone because when renewing my sprint contract i basically got the phone for free as opposed to spending $200-400 on an iphone.
- My phones main purpose is still to talk on it.. the other stuff is really unnecessaryd_rek

I also would like to hear this advice. Are those smartphones running the android software any good?

i really love it. typing on it took me a few days to master but i have no major, or any gripes. i don't care about not having copy/paste. I've never come across a time when I would use it. It's really a fantastic phone.

The way I look at a smart phone is this...
The main things I am looking to do on my phone are a) Talk on it and b) text on it... all the other superficial applications and whatnot are really unneccessary because I sit in front of a goddamn computer all day anyway.
