Please check yours. You are simply incorrect, even on AT&T.

Generally AT&T charges two rates for data, regardless of whether the phone
had 3G or not- the $20/month "MediaNet" plan for "feature" phones (no
physical keyboard) and $30/month for "smartphones" (with physical keyboard.)

So, no, the new iPhone Deux isn't paying the same rate as a typical AT&T
phone in it's class, but is paying the higher smartphone with keyboard
rate.

Ever try one of those "comfort height" toilets?

You GOTTA get one. Makes dropping an iPhone a pleasure.

trying to run a business from the palm of my hand, just want to make phone
calls. My Verizon phone works fine."

Make sure it isn't a "low flow". Those you gotta flush twice.
