Mark, I upgraded to the 4S last year and still retained my unlimited data plan. However, unlimited is really a joke because the fact is once you exceed 3Gb, AT&T throttles your speed to the point that it is completely unreasonable. Although not technically a breech of contract, it does open the doors to arbitration and a good chance you can be freed from the contract. If AT&T pulls the crap about not allowing FaceTime over the 3G network unless you have a shared data plan, I will be on the horn to the FCC and raise hell. In fact I'm still surprised they are able to prevent those of us with unlimited data plans from having tethering. As I understand Verizon Wireless got pinged for this not long ago.
