   Depends on your intended use.   
      
   I picked up a smartphone on my local Target department store discount   
   rack awhile back for $15 US. I use it when puttering around the house as   
   an Android iPod. It also streams radio stations from around the world.   
   Works great without either a data plan OR a phone plan...
