Ah, ok. I have an N95 for the same thing (overseas travel mostly) and purpose.

Right now it has no SIM card, and uses Wifi-only for data. I use it to transfer data between my Oracle Calendar (SyncML only) and Google account (so my G1 can access that data, since the G1 doesn't currently have a SyncML client for calendar data). I pay $0/mo for this.
Make sense.

In the past, I had a pay-per-day SIM card in it (to use as a backup phone), which is a data-less service. So it was also wifi-only for data at that time. I paid $0/mo for GSM data when I was doing that.
Wifi-only is the key. But ok.

Either way, no one forced me to buy a GSM data plan
Nobody is forcing anybody. I have an OQO 02 now with WWAN, and I don't use it.

I'm saying though... the moment I want to use it (WWAN), it will cost. That's all I've been saying all along.

Well, it is 99 dollars. Your bridge in Brooklyn analogy only works if you didn't have to pay for GSM data in the upcoming N900 - which you will.

Either way, want to use anything other than wifi, you're paying for it.
Again... where in the living world was I wrong!?

Other than wifi, there's only GSM. And it costs. Period. Stop being thick headed. I said that in the beginning. Not budging because you can't read what I said.
