Most people who are interested in this phone are also very interested in the Internet. Why have a touch screen if you aren't going to take advantage of it to browse around?

Go Phone has the data bundles for $4.99 for a MB or $19.99 for 100MB. *moderated please don't spam the site with external links in your post*
