Right now I have a motorola v170, but I want to upgrade to a more capable model like the w370. Does it receive free SMS? Do any other current models receive free SMS? I really want to be able to get pics and audio over MMS, but i'm too dependent on free SMS to give it up :(

Well that really sucks. I was hoping to get one of those data service models. And I only like clamshells.
