How can i get my mom to let me get the blackberry bold?

I really want the blackberry bold 9000 from att but my mom doewnt like the idea of the expensive data plan she doesnt "see whats special about it"
 
i currently have an older blackberry curve, which i bought a while ago before they made the data plan policy (it used to be that you only needed it for a month or two and then you could cancel it, but now you need it forever pretty much) so if i want to upgrade then i'm required to get the data plan. i'm assuming that you want the blackberry, with or without the data plan, because if you WANT the data plan, then i can't really help you other than telling your mom that you'll pay for it yourself. there are ways of getting around the data plan though. my friend just bought a blackberry from radioshack and for some reason radioshack will sell it to you without it (if you're lucky, if you have text messaging tell them that you already pay for that and you won't even use the data and they'll probably let you get it without the data). at&t stores and best buy make you think that it's required for you to have the data plan, and that it's impossible to sell it without it, but my friend just got a new blackberry recently from radioshack without a data plan. so that's one option. the next option is to buy one from ebay or somewhere and then just put your SIM card in, but you'll pay a lot more for the phone. so look around on the internet because there are ways to get around it, and if you want the data plan, or you can't get around it, then just tell your mom that you'll pay for it yourself. if you're gonna use it then $30/month is actually a pretty good price. either way good luck and i'm sure you'll enjoy your blackberry if you end up getting it! also, if you end up getting the data plan, you might want to try calling to cancel it like after a month of having it, and see if they let you. they say you can't, but you never know! good luck!
