Cool. It is definitely a great device. I just don't think I would use the data enough to justify paying for it month to month. Even with all the apps and what not.

That's what I thought when, around Thanksgiving, I sold my iPhone and went back to using a Razr. Lasted a week. Expensive mistake, with convoluted rearranging of phones and lines on my family plan to get me set up with a new iPhone at the subsidized price. It's still true that I don't use it as much as I feel like I should to justify paying for the data plan, but I learned to look at it this way:

Figure the data plan costs $30 a month, which if applied to data downloaded at "a la carte" prices ($0.01/KB) would pay for around 3MB. You'll download far more than 3MB of data a month with just minor puttering around. And you will putter. Oh, yes, you will putter. The folks here who say the iPhone kind of becomes a way of life are correct. Even when I hate it, for various reasons, I love it. Kinda like being married. :eek:
 
Yes, it's worth it. And it's worth it to cancel Verizon early. My girlfriend did and never looked back. That's if you truly can afford the early termination fee. I just canceled my cable because of lack of work. I can't justify it. Do i regret the iPhone bill? NO WAY. It's worth it!
