Why are you so judgmental? Maybe poor college students who are using their parents’ hand-me-down Blackberries, don’t want or need the data plan!

I am legally blind. I use the “talking” menu program on my HTC smart phone to navigate. Why would I need the internet just to make calls and text? If there were more variety of phones that could be loaded with this program, I would certainly have bought one. The salesperson recommended this model to me for this reason, and now I have to find an unlocked version and pay full price for ANOTHER phone. Thanks AT&T. As soon as my contract is done, I'm out.

Uhm, hellooo? WiFi? Easy texting? Applications? Size factor?

I am a) complaining to the FCC; and b) voting with my feet (i.e., closing my AT&T account)

The reason some people want a “Smartphone” w/o a Data Plan is that Palm no longer makes PDAs. When the PDAs we have, stop working, we want the capabilities of our PDA in our cell phones. I don’t need internet and email access, just a phone and a PDA, without the extra cost of a Plan I will get no use from.

There’s always the option of buying a Smartphone unlocked, and then using it without data. But in that case it’ll cost a ton of extra money. I was surprised when I heard the news of this too.. I wish it didn’t happen, but I’m thinking about keeping my current Curve even after my contract expires and renewing. Maybe by then AT&T will have REDUCED data plans instead of $30 a month..

Like most others I love my Blackberry Curve for the apps and non data features. I had the data plan at first and found absolutely no use for it. If I want the web I can turn on my laptop or desktop. I want to keep my Curve but it’s 2 years old and I know it wont last forever. I’ve looked for non-smart phones to replace it – nothing doing.

Maybe Blackberry will come to our rescue, AT&T could not care less about us.

Simply leave AT&T. They are nothing without customers.

And yes, it makes a whole lot of sense to have a smartphone without a data plan.

No, they won’t shut your phone off but sooner or later your contract will run out or you will need a new phone and then they got you.

That’s is why everyone needs to contact the BBB and let them know what you think.

You hit the nail on the head greed is what it’s all about and I am surprise company’s like Blackberry and others like them would allow this as it cuts in to their profits of maybe they are part of the problem because this is a way for them to get there low end phones on the market.

I would like to hear what you think.
