Ask Dr. LJ -- Smartphone Edition

[bluegargantua]

Hey,

So I purchased my cell phone when Bush Jr. was president. It's old and battered and doesn't hold a charge well and I feel like it's time to get a smartphone.

In unrelated news, Apple just announced it's releasing a super-sized iPhone that will fit quite comfortably in my large, meaty hands.

However, having a smartphone means I need a data plan of some sort if I hope to truly have the internet in my pants. I have no idea what a reasonable data limit should be. I *believe* I'd be fairly light on the bandwidth, but I might find more data intensive uses for my phone. So how much data is on your plan?

Thanks
Tom

Check out Ting Wireless - they use the sprint network. We would be switching to them since their tiered structure is awesome and cheap but they are not available at our house (roaming only and we can't sign up with roaming only at our residence). No contract and pay for you use.
