Telling them this is hi tech when it's tech my 2 1/2 year old daughter doesn't even want, she wants a better phone (then again she goes straight for the Amex card and cash when she gets into my wallet) but that aside, it's an insult to the buyer and only hurting the carriers. If they sold the consumer a grade A handset that had a decent web browser they would make money from them surfing the net. It's so old fashion of them not to be pushing web and just SMS and calls. Let's not forget that the carriers probably make more money off of SMS then anything else, I have no solid evidence to back that up at the moment but I remember reading on here how cheap SMS is for the carriers.

My last purchase was an iPhone 1 (though I use an E75 and 5800 now) and I use GB's of data regularly. even better is that AT&T will send me targeted Direct Mail as a customer with a similar crap offer.
