If you get an smartphone that was released prior to Nov 2008, then Verizon doesn't require the data plan. A Motorola Q9c is a great phone, and I read a lot of books on it when I carried it (I now have a Touch Pro because I don't mind the data plan requirement). The only problem with the Motorola Q9c is that with Windows Mobile 6.1, mobipocket reader doesn't work properly with the library on the disk - but there is a work around.

My wife still uses my old Q9m because they don't require the data plan on it ...
