Motorola and AT&T Announce the Karma

AT&T doesn't contract you in on services, you can cancel them once they're started (with every phone except the iphone, that's only because apple *really* insists it stays.)

As far as this goes, I have AT&T...Ive tried signing up with sprint and verizon and when you buy a PDA phone, you cant skip the option to add data. This is the same thing. If youre looking for a normal phone? Buy a normal phone. Don't get a text specific device.
