this have been talked about in other threads..
the G1 has wifi that is quite good. for people like me that spend 90% of my awake hours (through the week anyway) in a cube at work that where I have wifi or at home with wifi .. see where im going with this? actually I dont get 3G in either place as it doesnt work in my office at work and im just outside of 3G range at home (for the moment anyway) soo paying 300 to 360 per year for something I can barely use.. just doesnt make sense.
I will say that I have steped outside at work to use my phone and when the 3G kicks in.. wow so much faster. but its just not worth 300 per year so I can step outside to use it..
now you ask so whats the point of having the phone? there are tons of reasons..
1) 4/8/16/32? GB of music and video that I can watch/listen to anywhere..
2) with wifi and one bar i can text/mms/email/IM all day from my desk..
3) apps... do I really need to say more?
4) big easy to use key board
5) cheap for a smart phone
6) big bright screen..
7) maps, even tho limited, i can still look things up.
8)3+mp camera
Guys I really could go on, just because you dont want a data plan this phone still has a hudge up side over a regular cell phone.

I had the same problem with IM on my BlackBerry. If someone comes out with a bypass app, kudos.
