Good idea or bad? I was talking to a rep and the additional cost per month is 29.99. I currently pay 69.99 for roadrunner. Anyone have a phone that does this- is it worth it?

I'm just saying maybe it would be a cheaper internet option. But the screens are probably too small?




I have a Blackberry Curve and when I signed up, internet seemed like such a luxury item for $30 extra. I ended up changing my mind a couple weeks later and signing on to it for the Wifi. It is pretty cool to get my emails sent straight to my phone and be able to reference websites off of them. I'd like to think I make up for the cost by not downloading extra shit like ringtones and backgrounds. I don't need to listen to songs or see pretty colors when my phone rings and at least the Wifi is useful.

oh, I wouldn't use it as my only internet. it's slow and sometimes you can't get on. And if the page is graphics heavy, you will have a difficult time seeing what you want to see.
Anyway, I go have EDGE on my Blackberry and it's saved my ass a couple of times (no more calling 411!), but it's great at work when you're bored. You can just do your stripperwebbing or e-mails.
I am so looking forward to my new iphone July 11th!!!
Be carefull that you choose the amount of mb available per month according to your needs. because if, for example, you are allowed max. 30 mb per month, then you look at one youtube video and there goes your monthly allowence.
I love my internet phone - I can read the news while in a boring class
when I signed up for my blackberry 2 it was actually less by $10 because I bumped down my minutes (I'm on cingular, now AT&T, and had over 5000 extra minutes. time to downgrade.)
blackberry 2 was cool and cheap but I didn't like how it formatted my websites because it took so long to scroll down to the bottom of the page.
I switched to the Iphone, and after hating it and wanting to bash it 3 times a day for a week straight, it turned out to be one of my best investments ever.
This is because:
I didn't pay extra for GPS shit, but a map function is on the phone anyways for free, and since I travel a shit load this is SOOO useful.
I can google "restaurants in town X" and then the page comes up and I can either go directly to the restaurants webpage (if they have it), click on their phone number and have my phone directly call them, or click on the map this and get directions straight there.
also-- the text messaging is more like instant IM-- I do long text messages anyways, so it's nice that when I chat with someone else who has an Iphone-- they get the message in one message and not in, say, 3 or 5.
also-- you only get counted for one message which stretches out your text packaging.
it does suck that I can't get hotmail to be directly delivered to my phone because hotmail charges for that, but if you have yahoo, gmail or a few others it does it.
so, yeah. I'm learning new stuff about my phone all the time.
and playing youtube occasionally when I'm bored in a hotel room rocks.
I just wish I could get it to play pandora.com (streaming music.)
I also really like it because I only want to give my email to clients and not my number.
this way if plans change, or someone contacts me after I'm already at work, I can still pick up the message at work.
Thanks for the replies!
