Yes you are right but for example both my younger cousins have an samsung flight and samsung solstice with the unlimited data/text/multimedia $30 package that and gets 23% off thru a work corporate discount (I think after taxes it's around $25).

To get an android phone they will have to change the data plan (They use alot so the 2GB datapro $25 and then add unlimited messaging $20) so that's $45 dollars minus the discount still makes it around $35 a month extra.

The HTC freestyle on paper looks like a good non smartphone option but the reviews on websites say it's kind of buggy.

Is AT&T going to phase out that plan and the phones that can use it or will they grandfather them into that plan with an android phone?
