I see your point if you weren't going to use a data plan anyway with your WM device. But many people need a data plan so that they can have access to internet, email, etc. when out of WiFi range, so the data plan isn't necessarily an extra cost for us. My HTC Advantage needs a data plan too if it is going to be truly useful to me. $20/mo. isn't unreasonable for an unlimited data plan. I know there are ways of lying to the cell companies about which device you really have in order to get a cheaper plan that you hope they don't track your use on and terminate you, but straight up PDA data plans run $20/mo in addition to a voice plan or $30-$40/mo without.
So the money we saved on the device doesn't in fact go right back into the data plan, since we were already paying for one on a crappier phone.
