I love Sirius-- you can get the basic channels for like $12 a month it's not that expensive--if you love music.
Cell phone companies are going to eventually price themselves out of the market with these data plan gimmicks. It's almost impossible to find a decent looking, functional, normal phone that doesnt require a data plan. The unlimited ones are at least a reasonable deal if you are a heavy user, but the bills that become possible with pay by MB are going to scare people away. Pay/go cell plans are looking more and more attractive.
