When I bought my Diamond Telus was charging $15/mo for the data plan..a real deal.
I don't need on-the-fly data. Which is the specific reason I got a Windows Mobile device. I was thinking about the Blackberry Storm, but the only way to get emails was via data (since it has no wifi and can't sync Outlook emails). So Windows Mobile is perfect for me. I want to be able to read and write emails offline. Also, it has many other features regular phones don't have which I use like syncing Calendar/Notes/Tasks, GPS, tools, games. Love the Diamond so far.

Having said all that, I still wanted to try the data plan, but only the 4MB data plan is "compatible" with my current voice plan. 4MB not enough for data.

What are the features you are referring to that require data?
