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

I've been using iPhones for a few years and I think only three times I've exceeded half my free monthly data cap of 2GB. I'm usually well under.
