Well, T-mobile has the cheapest data plan around with voice. It's $30/
mo on top of any voice plan you have. You get unlimited Internet on
your phone and teethering to you laptop as well as access to T-Mo's
hotspots (Starbucks, Kinkos/Fedex, Borders). The downside is that
EDGE speed on the phone is the slowest compared to Sprint and
Verizon. As far as Smartphones, the Dash is supposed to be great and
the Win. Mobile 6 is avaiable for it.
