My grievance that I'd have to spend $50 for unlimited laptop ev-do? And where are you pulling the $15 plan from? Hell, my texting and mobile web comes to that.
The point I'm making is, Blackberrys, Treos, iPhones and MDAs are a great product for the 15+ demographic, however, the data plan pricing, especially when factoring in tethering to a laptop (which is what I need), is outrageous!
Um, no Zach. Those data plans are specifically for USB or mobile broadband cards. In other words, your laptop.
This is about phones, which just need the unlimited Power Vision package, which is $15/month. If you want to tether your laptop to it, the kick you in the nuts again to the tune of $40/month.

What argument?

Sprints page (http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/DisplayPlans?filterString=Data_Plan_Filter&id12=Shop_StartPlans_Link_DataPlans) while they do offer the cheapest of data plans.... is still nowhere near $15. It's $50. (40MB a month is a joke).
