A smartphone for people not smart enough to know it. Face it, 9 out of 10 AT&T customers will never add another app to this phone and if you told them they had a S60 phone in their hand they would say, "No, its a Nokia". They will never know AT&T made Nokia leave out the wi-fi, cripple the GPS and only give them a puny 2mp. camera. I would bet they made them leave out the podcasting app too, (might use a little too much of AT&T's data).
So with text package your looking at $75 a month or $1,800 over 2 years. Thats a lot of money for this phone.

Won't cost me 75/month-already have family text plan (30/month for 4 phones), line is 10 month. That would be 17.50 + 30=47.50. And tkboxer-why do you assume 9 out of 10 ATT customers are stupid?

I didn't say they were stupid, I said they wouldn't add a app to the phone.
My 9 out of 10 was a over-exaggeration, I should of said "many" owners would not add another app.
And why should they, if they were looking for a social networking centric phone this one has just about everything one could ask for.
skaj11, at 47.50 thats a much better value for you, if you like the phone grab one, after all it is a Nokia, its going to be a good phone and you will enjoy it.

if you buy the phone, wait for the rebate then call 611 and change the IMEI number to a 'regular' phone, you can tell them to add the 30 unlimited everything and just use it with this phone. no one will know!
i have done this with windows mobile and it works fine

I'm mixed on this phone, I would never own it, but, if AT&T treated so as to use a medianet not a pda data plan, it wouldn't be a bad deal. I don't look at this thing like its an e71, Fuze, iPhone or Blackberry, I do look at it as an alternative to a texter phone like those from Samsung and LG, in this case, it would be decent. Because it has a KB and it runs S60v3, doesn't mean in this one case it should fall into that category.

The $30 PDA plan is for Business capable phones - ie, Exchange/Blackberry/Visto/etc mail capable. This has every indication of being a consumer device like the 6650 or the N75 of old.

I might be wrong, of course, but AT&T's press releases have been full of misinfo before.
