Apple continues to try to make its boxes (iPhone included) as locked-down as possible, even if it means treating developers like serfs. Feh.

i'd love to have a droid. unfortunately, every cell phone provider now requires you to have a data package if you have a smart phone *even if* you never intend to use it. so my costs would go from $50/mo. to $80/mo. color me poor -- and unimpressed.

That's my situation as well, except that mine is a $20/month T-mobile plan (I'm grandfathered in). I have a not-quite-smart phone (Motorola ZN5) that has a browser and WIFI, FM radio, plus a great camera.
