Actually it was an AT&T retail offered SMARTPHONE email/data plan. Back in
the day, Cingular made separate distinctions between "Smartphones" and
"PDAs." (Strangely enough, having a QWERTY keyboard was Cingular's
definition of a "PDA." A silly distinction, but that's what they used.)
Frankly I'm surprised they let you get it on the 6915- when I asked two
years ago if I could put an 8125 on Smartphone Connect and they told me I
couldn't. The Cingular forums are full of threads pointing out the even
Cingular didn't always get it right (Samsung Blackjack users in particular
seemed to be offered Smartphone Connect and PDA Connect randomly.)

I may be wrong, but I don't think they offer Smartphone connect any longer
(I think it was pulled when the old $40 PDA Connect became "PDA Personal"
for $30.)
I believe the current data plan lineup is here:

So your Smartphone Connect plan is likely grandfathered, and would be
something I'd think twice about before ever cancelling, since it's
replacement seems to be $10/month more.
