AT&T to Officially Mandate Data Plans for All Smartphones
Why Have A PDA With No Data Plan...
I would often have customers with Treos and they would have data blocked. When I asked why even carry a pda the answer was usually because of the calendar and detailed phone book.

That's the same answer I get. They need something that will sync with their calendar and for organization...

yeah, and not wirelessly even though that is awesome! Wireless meaning network, not Bluetooth or Infrared (might be showing my age on that one).

And reading eBooks. And doing shopping lists. And writing trip notes. And viewing pictures. And running anything from myriads of available software titles. And running custom software. The list goes on and on. It's a mini-computer, it will do whatever you ask it to.

There are several reasons why a person would have a pda with no data plan.
1. They want the status of having a glitzy expensive phone but do not feel the 30$ for data is worth it.
2. They want the ability to sync there calander and there address book.
3. They want the ability to view documents and presentations any where.
4. They have wifi at most of the places they go.
5. They bought a phone that was too complicated for them and they are stuck waiting till there upgrade and all they want is to make phone calls.
6. They have a PDA already to use for business apps and they do not want to carry 2 devices, they want the pda function and not the phone
7. smart phone make better media and mp3 devises then the other phones.
That is...
