An extra $30 here, and there, means whether or not I'll make the mortgage next month.
And, I mean, I have internet at home and work. Do I really need it in my pocket?

You sound just like my friend. We went to Verizon today so that I could show her the HTC Incredible that I ordered and she ended up looking at "dumb" phones. All she kept talking about is the data package for $10.00-$30.00. She was so mad that Verizon was basically forcing people to buy these plans. The thing is if you get a phone that doesn't have a required data package the phones are garbage. Well my friend thinks so anyway.
She is not the pay as you go type so I guess she is going to hold on to her old phone as long as she can. I think it's a bit much to charge every month myself but I'm an addict so I pay it. At least my new phone will have GPS built in so I don't have give Verizon anymore money a month. I got the phone for half off but the selling price was already pretty inflated.
