Ok, i dont know if this is the right place for this, and if not, i apologize ahead of time. But I am currently a college student and am now eligible for upgrade (currently have the original alias and part of a family plan), but any phone that looks to be more than just a basic phone, now seems to have a required $30 data plan (or soon will).

i dont like having buttons on the outside of the phone because i had the original enV, and it always hit buttons unless i waited 7 seconds to put it back in my pocket. all i use my phone for is texting and calling, thats basically it, so a data plan is of no use to me...

so does anyone know if they plan on releasing any new phones anytime soon, or if i need to find an old lg dare or something...
