Samsung Omnia Data plan

[zimmezumm]

So am I right in saying this, you can buy the Samsung Omnia without a data plan by indicating that you want the data blocked?

You are wrong. The Omnia, and any new PDA/SMARTPHONE lanuched will now require a data plan.

I checked at the store and you are right spike they require a 29.99 data plan. Too bad you can't get a cheaper one or I might have looked at this phone but I couldn't justify the high cost of the dataplan.

These data plans are way out of hand. With the wi-fi capability of phones like the Omnia, it is easy enough to replicate at wi-fi spots. If the email is so important that it needs to be answered right away shouldn't that be a phone call?

Consumers need to start saying "no" to these insane charges. Phone makers need to realize they can make money selling the phone and letting the user pick the packages.

Vonage needs to get in the act too. Why not have a phone the uses a cell carrier when needed, but wi-fi when available. I tried the iPhone with Skype, it does not cut it.

I'm open to helping folks with the technical know how make it happen.
