Default Plan confusion

This may not be the appropriate forum for this, but since I was attempting to purchase an i730 it seems like the right place.

I was to be a new Smartphone user, until Verizon tried to sell me a required extra monthly charge. I use RF devices at work and the thought of having my own personal RF device combined with cellular service excited me.

So there I was at the counter, ready to buy the i730 when the Verizon employee asked which data plan I wanted. I questioned the purpose of the data plan and got a very vague answer. To me it sounded like a forced MobileWeb charge. I argued that I knew the WiFi would not be useable unless I was near a hotspot. Even so they could/would not sell me the device unless I paid an extra $50 (unlimited) per month on top of my normal cellular charges.

Am I wrong in my thinking?
