Smathphone vs Cellphone Question

Here's a question, I am Tethering for free with my HTC TOUCH which is farely old. It's free cause I have a Data plan that no longer exist and it provides Internet surfing and tethering for FREE ,, preaty cool .. now ,, I have received in the mail today a letter from BELL (my provider) with the possibility to upgrade my phone, to get a new Intelligent phone.

I called them and asked,
- If I do, will I be able to keep my plan and use it with this new technology phone -
he replyed ..
- For the basics yes, but not for the Unlimited internet - so I asked -
Wy ? - et said
- Not the same network nor technology but you can pay 25$ monthly for 500mgs to surf and tethering - I said
- Wait, I am downloading gigs and gigs freely per month and you are asking me to pay more for a new tek phone with new gagdet and new network ? wy can't I keep my plan and adjut it to the new phone ?

Well.. can't do it,.. not gonna happend .... So my question is

IS IT possible for me to get the new HTC desire Z (or anyother intelligent phone) that I would be able to switch in the settings (when I need it) from WI-FI to the network that my HTC touch is using (I think it's ev-do or HSPA or something like that) So I wouldn't have to pay more and I would be able to keep the plan I have and use it 100% unlimited INTERNET tethering etc... ???

Sorry for the loong post I as you can see.. I am new to this, newby to phone tek and stuff. I am seeking for answers before I get stuck with a phone for 3 years with only 500megs a month.

Regards
Krad

Hi, your question is very closes to what I was wondering for months. I also had a htc touch with Unlimited internet. And I also ask a bell sales person at bell world if I could keep my plan and buy the HTC Desire Z from them or ebay. The sale man said I could keep the plan but would have to pay $20 or $25 on top for 500mb of data. Its because htc touch is on the ev-do and HTC Desire Z is HSPA.

If you wait till the end of your contract and tell them you want to go to another company their try to change your mind by sign you up with 6gb of data plan...

I love the HTC Desire Z, but I wish the data plan was unlimited.
