iPad + Dumb Phone = or > Than Blackberry?
Admittedly I am rather enamored with the iPad. But I got to thinking about the iPad and it's data pricing. $29.99 for "unlimited" data on the iPad, with no contract required, is rather enciting.
When I compare the $29.99 experience on the iPad versus the $29.99 experience for data on my Tour....... well you get the idea.
I am not saying I will definitely do this when the iPad comes out, but I will be strongly considering dumping my Berry (and really this could apply to any smartphone with a data plan i.e. Droid) in favor of a dumbphone and the iPad with 3G.
Granted the cost of the iPad is to be factored in, but...... after that initial cost, one might want to look at what they are getting for their $29.99 a month for data on the iPad vs. a Berry or Smartphone. My monthly cost for a dumbphone + iPad is equal to a smartphone/blackberry.
Of course those of you with a company discount will have a lower cost... that makes the comparison a moot point.
Am I off my rocker??? :D
