So after suffering with my Motorola Razr since 2007, I finally decide its time to upgrade my phone. Yeah I could have done it earlier, but I was in no rush. Once I get to the Verizon store I start looking for something that wasn't a blackberry or a droid, because even though the phones look pretty, that 30 dollar a month data plan is ugly, but I understand that fee, because its a smart phone! So I am looking for a CELL PHONE, not a pocket computer. I already bought a new computer, why should I want to go online with my phone on a 2 inch screen?

So I finally settle on the enV touch, because I do actually text, and the keys are big enough for my big hands. Turns out Verizon requires a 10 dollar a month data plan on this non-smart phone. I quickly realized that every phone in the building needs a data plan (either 10 or 30 bucks a month) except for about 5 phones that are no better than the Razr that I am stuck with now.

Cant switch carriers because my dad gets some discount thru GM. Call me a cheapskate, but I am not paying for some data plan that I am not going to use, on a phone that does not require a data plan for the phone to function properly. What ever happened to pay as you go? If I go online, then charge me. Google "verizon wireless data plan requirement" and be entertined for hours at the hundreds of people who are just as mad as I am.

Screw you Verizon.
