Obviously I do not belong to the "early-adopting crowd": I do not own a smartphone. Why? Because I find the 80 dollars per month too high price to pay for something(access to the internet) that I have almost everywhere I spent my time: work, home, bookstores. Even though I am seriously tempted everyday to get an iPhone.
To answer your question as to why I don't [currently] use a smart phone, the phone plan plus data plan is not currently worth the opportunity cost for me. Currently using an old Palm Centro without a data plan.
I do miss my Epic.
If I travelled more or worked away from home, I might find use for a smartphone.
At the end of the day, all smart phones usually add is another distraction.

you can have a smartphone without a data plan, just connect to wifi networks at your work, home, bookstores
I have an Android phone and recently bought an iPad. After experiencing both platforms I think I'll be buying an iPhone 5 next. If I we're going to do android again I'd get a phone where I could install stock android (like the Nexus S). Oh also, I really hope WP7 doesn't take off. The new wave of smart phones run webkit almost exclusively right now and I'd like it to stay that way.
