Re: How Much Does It Really Cost to Own a Smartphone?

My Sprint Palm Pre smartphone ran $200 and hits $85/mo for full unlimited data everything with taxes & fees. Total cost of ownership for 2 years then only comes to (24x85)+200= $2240

My old voice only Verizon plan ran $55/mo with taxes and fees and no charge for the phone. (24x55)= $1320

So by switching to a smartphone, it costs me an extra $920 over 2 years or $38.33/month.

That seems pretty reasonable to me.
