Not true. Verizon still offers its $50 data only plan- it's just hidden away under the business plans on the website. I was using it plus Skype on WinMo for almost a year.

uh no, verizon and at&t both had personal data only rate plans for smart phones for 35$. the $30 bolt on plan is available for devices that have voice services but smart phone users also had the option of having only data and no voice. this was changed only recently.
