Holiday Inn had it right with their slogan, the best surprise is no surprise---getting a cellphone bill with a whopping extra charge because I unknowingly exceeded my tier really makes me mad.

How do this usage breakdown when analyzed by "old" smartphone (e.g. Windows, RIM and Symbian) vs "modern" (e.g. iOS and Android). Does this data include WiFi access as well? For many "modern" smartphones, WiFi access may constitute half or more of the total data usage. And what is the definition of smartphone?

Can that be tracked in a bill? Interesting but keep in mind many users may only use the devices with local wi-fi, preferring that to paying for data plans. Can that be tracked in a bill?

It was only a short time ago that I fell into the "0" data usage category myself. The learning curve is HUGE, but once a person taps into the possibilities?? Woah. Unfortunately I think its up to the phone manufactures and carriers to educate us on how to use their products. How about bringing back those good 'ole hard-copy users manuals?? The one I got with my phone was teeny and pretty useless. Sure I can go online and spend hours looking for stuff...but talk about a lost opportunity! Hell, sell advertising space in the manual if need be...seriously! I think this article is terrific! It was only a short time ago that I fell into the "0" data usage category myself.
