Except all other PDA data plans are *not* "$40 or more." This is a Sprint
newsgroup. With Sprint you can get unlimited data for PDAs for just $15 per
month (EV-DO too).

The iPhone cannot be used as a modem but Sprint's PDA phones can. For $40
per month you would get not only unlimited data on the PDA phone itself, but
also unlimited data to use the PDA as a modem for a PC/laptop. Not a bad
deal IMO.

What I think is not a good deal is paying full price for the iPhone and
still having to commit to a two year contract. To me a contract is a two-way
street: both parties should get something out of it. What exactly does the
consumer get out of an iPhone contract?
