Hmm, but I thought after someone gets they're rebate they can minus data.

Nope.

Your talking about with Vrzn or ATT? Because with ATT its easy to call up 611 and lie and say you "lost" your smartphone and that your using a cheap Razr or something you got on ebay, minus the data plan. I really don't think ATT will go as far as to check a persons IMEI # to see if they are really using they're smartphone.

Use your eyes security boy and you will find your own answer.

Obviously your not going to respond in a mature way.

And you aren't smart enough to make two clicks to find the answer to your own question.

Don't ask stupid questions if you don't want a tough response.

Well guess what, since you aren't mature enough to answer my question I just called 611, and heres the answer I got, examples of smartphones, $10 internet on Iphone & Fuze: No, Nokia E71x $10 internet: yes. So people should buy the E71x, and not let themselves get ripped off by $20/mo.

ATT does consider the Nokia e71x a smartphone and requires the $30 data package on it - if you were told otherwise you were told incorrectly.

I was referring to calling 611 and telling them I have a non-smartphone, it could be any handset, it doesn't matter, lowering it from the rip-off $30 data plan to the $10 data plan that I have on my N95 that btw, runs the SAME smartphone OS as the E71x. But for example I would still be using the E71x, and I KNOW the $10 internet will work on the E71x because it runs the SAME OS as my N95.

Screw $30/mo for barely over 1mbps speed.

Oh and by the way, if it hurts your feelings, I also tether my Nokia N95 to my laptop WITHOUT paying ATT extra. I know you reps are brainwashed into thinking that smartphones & laptops use more data than regular phones, but internet is is internet is internet, and NOBODY has PROVEN webpages have more data tha...

Wow, do you think I actually care that you rip off ATT? Do think that it, as you put it, "hurts my feelings?" You sound like an angry teenager in their mothers basement, downloading pirated movies and music and finding every way possible to "screw the system" - Here's a clue - grow up, nobody here cares about your anger towards the "system" or ATT.

I"m not a rep, and have no stake in ATT whatsoever. All I'm doing is pointing out facts, unlike your useless rants.

Fact: I never once stated that any browser on one phone uses more data than the same browser on another device.

Fact: Most smartphones (as defined by ATT) use actual HTML web browsers.

Fact: Most non smartphones use limited media net browsers.

Fact: That is why ATT...

The person tex was replying to was talking about Verizon phones. Like the iphone, you can't get the data turned on on any new Verizon smartphone.

Rather than clarify, I guess he wanted to be difficult.

Yeah, unfortunatley a lot of people are like that on Phone Scoop. There really are very few that aren't fanboys, or accholes, and so on.

Your with Vrzn, Im with ATT, I don't bash you for being with Vrzn, personal choice, it doesn't hurt my feelings.

I think he sells ATT and Verizon though.

Ah well.

Ah, I live in Killen. 🙂
Next, You won't like AT&T in this area. The 3G is not even fast. Plus, you live almost in a dead zone for AT&T. In your house, you may pick up one bar but thats it. Verizon is more of a reliable network in AL because it works on almost all these country roads. Plus, you have 3G all over the state. I would get the iPod Touch.

Do you use the keyboard on the ipod touch a lot?

I have a touch as well, and while I love it as a PDA, it would drive me up the wall with texting.

Beyond that, the two devices are similar.. network coverage is a big issue for that phone. Apple kinda dropped the ball when it comes to the antenna, so you'll want to make sure your area has excellent coverage in order to take full advantage of the iphone.

im not dissatisfied i just know alot of people with an iphone and they love it...I have a ipod touch and i cant keep my hands off it.. thought the iphone 3GS would be the same

Then YES you should absolutely switch!! If you love the iTouch and cant stop playing with it, then the iPhone will be even crazier...You only live once, switch to the phone your excited about

He won't like AT&T. AT&T has horrible coverage in AL. People around here need something that will work on the back roads (roads that are not even paved too) and Verizon works the best.
