Hi, first post here 
I'm just wondering if anybody knows of any particular disability right on cell phone because I've been trying to figure out how these carriers can offer a voice only plan for the hearing but if you want to have data only plan, you are limited on just a few phones without having to pay for voice plan.
I really really want to get a G1 but they said that there is no way I can get it without a voice plan. WHY? I know that data cost more for carriers to provide but just offer a data only plan at a slightly higher cost like the Blackberry Internet Plan do. I don't want to waste like $720 over the 2 years contract just for something I absolutely can't use.
I'm still just researching on this but right now but I'm hoping to be able to use whatever info I have to convince the store around here to be able to let me get the G1 without the voice plan. I know that there are sidekick and blackberry but I still think that we should have equal access to these other phones cause I can't find any proof that data plan needs voice plan to be cheaper or profitable for the carrier. the G1 have 2 data plan that must have voice plan and they go for $25 and $35. I wouldn't mind paying an extra $10 or $15 for the data only plan.
So I hope that somebody here knows about these disability laws for cell phone.
