Since you put it like that then i'm going to explain myself in a little more detail. People purchase smartphones to browse the web at will, receive emails instantly, download and run apps, and lastly to talk and text (otherwise they could just buy any regular phone.) If you only want to check around hotspots then like i said earlier this is in no means what a smartphone is needed for or was even created for. I have an android and i've downloaded about 30 apps, of those 30 apps at least 23 of them use data. You need to realize why and what a smartphone was created for and it should be simple why sprint, att, and verizon require data plans. Correct sprint let winmo phones slide thru because this is a dying os, but wp7 you can gurantee a simply everything plan will be required. There is no way i can force you to understand but you might as well accept it because the companies are making the correct decision. Evaluate if you need a smartphone then decide if its the purchase you want, like someone stated above no one is forcing you to buy the phone.
