A smartphone today at least and will continue to be even more so in the future is a device that is a phone and a PDA and so much much more.

So why should anyone be force to have to leave all that behind unless they pay a extra $750.00 over two years for only one aspect of that?

Especially if they have virtually no use for what that one thing out of all of that, that this $750.00 is paying for.
a regular phone can do alot of those things as well. Like i was saying you have to decide if you need a smartphone. What seperates a smartphone from a dumbphone is mainly email, web browsing, and data sensitive mobile applications (ie. instant messaging programs, slingbox, etc..). You can listen to music on any phone nowadays, most phones have an micro sd slot somewhere. if you're thinking about purchasing a smartphone just because 1 single feature would benefit you then it seems like you are just sol, but for 95% of people who need or want a smarthphone a data plan is the smartest route, and if i'm a company thats in the $ making business then guess what, i'm following the 95% of people.
