I hate the fact that these cell phone companies are forcing people to buy their internet plans with these new phones instead of keeping it as an option. They want people to pay at least $70/month for phone and internet use for two years., which is over $1700 after taxes!!!
What if I want an Instinct or an iPhone or an HTC Diamond, but I don't want GPS or satellite internet? What if I just want to use the other features or just use the WiFi option for my internet instead? Does this mean I have to settle with one of the normal phones now? These are all rhetorical questions, btw.
You can still just buy it outright and put it on any plan, right? I have 4 lines that total over $150 a month. I better be able to by this outright and add it onto one of my lines.
