If I buy a device, I want full usage capabilities — and if I can't afford to use it, the way it was intended (making a general statement here, not determining what an individual can or can't afford), then I won't get it. There is no point, for me.
Blackberrys are data-intensive devices, and what makes them so awesome is all you can do with them, when they're in their "native soil". Take a data plan out of the picture, and you've crippled the device, imo.
