Re: Pointless For Data

Hm, well, most smartphones can't connect to Wi-Fi (though the almighty iPhone can), so if you wanted to use your smartphone inside...

Also, on GSM, 3G is both data and voice.

Most modern smartphones have built in wifi support. For those that don't, an SD, MiniSD, and very soon MicroSD workarounds are available.

But even if your phone doesn't have wifi, if you are at home and you have broadband and presumably a computer, why would you want to use your phone for data?

True, but most phones do support fallback to EDGE or basic GSM for voice, both services are quite prevalent in the USA (although I know that in other countries they use 3G for everything).
