I purchased my phone off a local classified ads message board. Someone else paid the subsidy. My first TP1 the same way. That's why I was pissed at Verizon when I went to hook it up to replace my Samsung i760 and they informed me my bill would be $30 more a month in which I told them essentially to shove it......
I had no idea they made some new rule about it when since 2005 through 2009 on my Samsung i730 & i760's I NEVER was required to have a data plan. You'd figure Verizon would just let me continue on since these two phones are along the same lines as the Touch Pro's really. Both are PDA phones, can use data, have similar features.
IT'S JUST VERIZON'S WAY OF GETTING MORE MONEY OUT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO UPGRADE THEIR PHONES.

I don't give a nickle to Microsoft for their 360 Live service. I pulled the LAN cable on my unit 1 year or so ago so it wouldn't have to be online ever. I rarely play it honestly. Last game was Tales of Vesperia cause it was exclusive (at the time) so I went out and bought it and played it through.
I use my two Playstation 3's extensively though. Lots to do there! PSN is FREE and lots of great software out and coming. My daughter plays the heck out of Little Big Planet and I don't receive a bill from Sony for the online features.
