Not everyone needs the data plan ya know. Sure, this phone is best utilized with data to get email and all that jazz but for some people it isn't necessary.

Hell, I sit in front of a computer all day at work and check my email whenever I want. I go home, I check my email on my laptop. I wanna surf, I have my laptop. I feel like I'm just wasting money by having the data plan. If i didn't get an employee discount, I would probably drop my data plan.

Just cause you don't have a data plan, does that mean you shouldn't get this phone? I mean it does have a touch screen and a full qwerty keyboard that is useful for texting. I hate how people look down at you if you don't have a data plan with your phone...

Not if you have WiFi 24/7 like my son does with his xv6800, why would he want to pay for a data plan??

Re: Wifi vs Data

$15 is $15. But if they can afford a $300+ phone then paying $15 for data is no big deal right? If you don't need it, why pay for it? It's like paying $15/month for a land line and never using it.

Pretty much the same question was posted here:

and I replied with this:

With Wi-Fi on and cellular radio off, the number jumps to 350-400mA. I didn't bother trying to stream anything as it's just the same data coming through a higher-power tranciever.

Plus, it's NOT $15 a month on Verizon (it's $30).

Re: Wifi vs Data

The Wifi is handy as hell here, I work at StateFarm Regional and during lunch some of my friends will leech of my wifi router, or if Im somewhere there isnt a hotspot I can rock the EVDO. Wifi is like guns and condoms, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!
