I, personally, am worried about gas prices rising and am looking to other places to cut prices. My phone bill currently stands at $96 a month when I use 100 minutes or less and my texting average is about 5 a day. My only reason for not finding a new phone plan is because of the $200 cancellation fee. Totaling almost $300 just to have to find another phone and plan to have to pay for within the month. I have always wanted to replace my planner and phone for a blackberry phone. If BB decides to get a pay-as-you-go BB, I would definatly be happy to pay my $200 cancellation fee and $96 bill one last time to switch over.Not that what I pay is terrible, but for my used minutes, it is. I am always writing stuff in my planner and on the internet, the BB pay-as-you-go would be the perfect solution.

Usually BB users are heavy users, thus the 'as you go plan' may exceed their price point. To track what you've 'used' would be such a pain.

BBs are the new device of choice for many, but those plans are rough for alot of people so they end up getting a tmobile plan with a data only plan. I think pay as you go would work for alot of people if it were priced competitively. in the late 90s and early 00s in NYC, every person who was even tangentially conected to the music industry had a motorolla 2 way pager, which turned into the sidekick.
