No, I'm using Alltel and not paying for data. I usually just change the PRL on Sprint phones to work on Alltel since they are plentiful.
Other than that, I'm lazy and often copy files to the phone via Wifi over my network rather than walking across the house and plugging it into USB. Sometimes when I'm bored or happen to be watching live TV, during commercials I'll also stream downloaded Youtube videos from my file server just because it's cool and I'm nerdy like that. Many fast food restaurants also have free Wifi now.
But yeah, the biggest reason is I have no data plan and it just doesn't seem cost-effective when there's Wifi everywhere I spend any time.
