i somewhat agree. if you don't use much internet or email, you shouldn't really be paying the full data plan.

AtT and Apple have a contract, so there has to be some kind of split in profits...

Why is everyone hating on AT&T for making the data plan required for the iPhone?? The data plan is required on all those bogo blackberrys that VZW has been selling. T-Mobile required data for the G1 and just made the data plan a requirement for all smart phones, except the pearl flip. As consumers we should be taking on all companies (At&t, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) for making these requirements especially for light users. Vote with your dollars! Id sell a lot more smartphones if there was break data on family plans with smartphones or if there was a lighter plan like for a broadband card. Live within your means and get a device that fits all your needs. . .there are great alternatives to the iPhone!

RIM runs your Blackery Internet Service for email, which is part of the agreement in data plans and they get some of that money. I do agree there should be say...for $100 you can get a blackberry or smartphone without data activated. There are a lot of people that want the phone for all of its features other than having constant internet connection and instant email. Games, the appointment are a world of differenence to nonsmartphones, along with the ability to sync with your computer (tho the more tech savvy know to use Bitpim for nonsmartphone access). But that is probably the minority and they do not wish to open up that access. Or think that to many consumers are buying iPhones because of the cool factor and it is what is "In" at the moment, they can make them pay more montly for the phone they really want, but features they will rarely use.
