Yes, all the smartphone data plans are costly (Iphone, Blackberries, etc). I'm in the process of figuring if I can afford my 2 data plans for my Blackberries. Costing $30 x 2 per month. At first they were great (like playing with a toy for a time). Now most of the time I only call or send texts. I'm thinking of downgrading/going to a less expensive phones. Just want calling/texting/emailing capabilities.
