Good point. However, If they keep a 5Gb limit in place and enforce it, there should be no more bandwidth use. I don't think less expensive data pricing would make many folks change over from a plain phone to a PDA devcice. I think that audience is limited, regardless of data pricing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is less expensive data pricing won't bing more PDA customers, it will just make the existing ones happier.

I've had my "Q" for 3 weeks and bought it to use and not worry about the data plan. Friends like the style and use but won't pay for the plan and are always wanting to borrow it just check some on the web "real quick"... I've had no worries with mine "knock on wood (again)" except when I've crashed it myself due to lack of knowledge on my part. I've tried to review each problem and then make sure to look for the tell tale signs that everyone is posting about and then wonder "Could this happen to me?". Hopefully I'll be one of those "Year Without Problems People"!

I was with Verizon for over 20 years and when I finnally went with the Q it was to merge the PDA with the phone and only carry one device. All the extra web/email was a plus but if they were there I sure was going to use them. But for $45 (Verizon wouldn't budge) plus the voice price I just couldn't afford it.
Then came Sprint...now my wife and I are both on a SERO plans w/500 min each, web, text, etc for what we were paying for a straight phone w/Verizon.
Verizon was good to me for 20 years and I wish/would have stayed but for the pricing.
Now happy to be surfing, emialing, streaming Slingplayer, navigating with GPS and even making a call or two while having all my PDA functions.

All Q'd up....tweeked and happy...Fred
