It seems Verizon is charging special data charge on all so called "Smart Phones".
That's how they are able to subsidize these expensive phones.
For example, Motorola Q, they will let you have this phone for only $99. (Free if you qualify for $100 upgrade) but ONLY if you sign up for their special data plan, on top of your regular voice plan.
Typically, the users of these Smart Phones are business users and they either can afford it or have their company pay for them.
