The wireless data crunch

I'm in the market for a new mobile phone (or questioning whether to have one at all). So questions about the cost of online data are of immediate interest. As this article notes, as recently as 2007, in Canada, it would cost $2600 to download one gigabyte of data. Domestically - roaming costs became staggering. Things are cheaper now, but I wonder, is it still worth it? What should I buy? Who should I sign with? And, as this article notes, can I depends on claims of low-cost or flat-rate data transfer? I wonder whether the mobile phone market is sustainable, or whether it will come crashing down as a result of its popularity. Anyhow, your advice on what to buy is welcome.
