I have made this point in the past, but I will repeat it now.
Most of the people I know are going to non contract phones. They are of course losing their "new every two" plans and now must pay for the phone they select, so are buying semi-smart querty phones because of the high cost of (if you can get them) smart phones, such as the droid.
The list of people I know that is going to StraightTalk is growing and I don't think they even sell smart phones. I live in mid America far outside any metropolis.
Regardless of the type of phone I use it will be far easier for me to test Walmart to Go800 to see if a a sales item is in stock when I know where my Walmart is located.
