So I'm a relatively happy t-mobile guy in the Washington DC area and I'm strongly considering upgrading to a smartphone (my 2 years is up and I have a family plan with my wife). Problem is, if I get a smartphone, the wife will want one too.

Travel is only to NYC and Indianapolis, so I'm always in major markets.

From what I'm seeing, it's going to cost roughly $60/month for the basic family plan plus $30 per phone for data. Is there a cheaper way to do 2 smartphones? My wife will never go for $120/month on cell service. I don't mind switching carriers, but I'm apprehensive about Sprint (based on past reputation) and AT&T (based on current reputation).

My preference is for Android phones (I use google voice), and I won't touch a WinMo phone.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

AT&T and Verizon will certainly be as expensive and very likely more expensive. That's how the carriers get you by forcing the smartphone data plan on you. I'd suggest yopu get 2 unlocked smartphones such as the Nokia E63, Nokia 5800, etc. And just use it with the regular data plan.
