soooo, did everyone that purchased this phone, also get a data plan with it, or does anyone have the phone with out it? (not sure if that made sense) but I'm still confused, whether to get this phone with a data plan, or if i can get this phone with out a data plan.

i think i could live with just the wifi, but, I'm not sure if i can buy the phone with out the data plan. does anyone know?

"i bet the answer to my question is some where in this forum, but I'm too lazy to read any of them!!lol.

thanks!!

I have the phone without the data plan. I have it blocked so I can't accidently use their network. At first the rep tried to say that they could not block it on a PDA, I called back and talked to another person.

I got the data plan on this phone but did not have it on the i730. So it should be just fine with WiFi connections. That's how I always used the old phone. As for the picture messages, I'm thinking it probably won't be possible since it connects me the the internet to send those every time.

You can get it without it, but you might not get all the rebates.

Talk to a rep on the phone and they said You get $100.00 off if you get the 44.00 unlimited data plan and that you can cancel it after a month. In the store the sales person couldn't tell me if I would be charged air time when using a WI-fi connection and said that you can't turn off the evdo. it only took 30 seconds to show them how to turn the evdo off.

Yes, the rep was wrong. Wi-Fi won't charge you minutes or data.

Regarding the data rebate, I was pretty sure it was 3 months before you could cancel it and retain the rebate. Unless they changed it, I'd go by the 3 month rule.

you can cancel the data plan the same night you activate it and still get the discount.

I am using high speed EVDO on it, but I still find that Wifi is faster. However, it's not as easy to come by, and my absolute favorite feature right now is Google Maps. So obviously, I wouldn't have wifi signal in my car when I really need it.

Presumbaly wifi is a LOT faster? I have a Q and pretty much always have EVDO, and the online experience is still slow. If the wifi experience (speed aside, what I'm talking about is the time it takes for web pages to load etc) is not much faster, then is it just the fact that a phone will never be able to handle web pages with speeds similar to a computer? Or is wifi experience on a phone immensely faster than EVDO?
If wifi is really no big improvement over EVDO, then I could wait for the 5800?

Wifi is usually going to be faster than EVDO, I have never seen EVDO go above 100KByte/second (though its near impossible to know) whereas Wifi is limited by the wireless networks internet connection which in Minneapolis averages over 1,000KBytes/second on a cable connection. EVDO however is the same speed as an average DSL connection however so WIFI cannot be generalized so well.

One advantage I notice with WIFI is that it can remain on while on a call, thus my messenger programs do not lose connect if I get a call, or I could call up a webpage if needed.
