I don't know how it is in your area but in mine the growing trend is the Walmart straight talk prepaid "all you can eat" plan (yes I know its actually 2GB before they start throttling, but many users don't use their phones for web kiosks) with Android smartphones. I can't say as i blame 'em, after trying out a friend's I may end up switching myself as his phone was just $70, the screen was clear and CPU powerful enough it was pretty decent at doing search by voice as well as being a PMP, all in all I'd say for $50 a month including unlimited talk and text it was a decent deal.
