| Phone as modem not included, available for a different price. Voice calls $0.45/min
All it is good for is portable email and Google maps. $40/mo is too much.
A separate phone for voice calls or Vonage Mobile raises the price above competing products. They are getting their money, for sure.
The phone industry is all about pretending you are getting a low cost phone while ensuring there is no possible way you can. |

| said by severach:Phone as modem not included, available for a different price. Voice calls $0.45/min Let me guess, you have Verizon, right? T-Mobile's approach to tethering is strictly hands-off. They don't charge more for it. Their branded smartphones typically don't restrict it.
All it is good for is portable email and Google maps. $40/mo is too much. Maybe on a dumbphone that's all it would be useful for. On a smartphone, tethering is easy. Android and Nokia smartphones all have free navigation. Stream Pandora/Last.fm. Keep up to date on blogs/facebook. Watch youtube/vimeo/etc videos. download and listen to podcasts.
Do I seriously need to elaborate on all of the things that a smartphone can do with a wireless data connection?
A separate phone for voice calls or Vonage Mobile raises the price above competing products. They are getting their money, for sure. Or you just get any other phone plan. Or you can pay $.45/min. That's a lot per minute, but for some users (like myself) who almost never use their phone except for emergencies, that's not really an issue. And let's say you get an HD2 - just install the Skype app, and get unlimited talk on 3g/edge data.
