Loooking for future device upgrade for weather/radar

Currently is a cell phone with internet access the only way to get weather radar information while riding? If so what type of cell phone is suitable for riding (screen bigger than a tiny one please) and just a quick peak at the radar as well as the type of internet plan? I'm stuck with Verizon (U.S. customer).

I have no needs or wants for any other internet things

Phone options and plan options are?

Also I have a Garmin Zumo 220, is there any radar weather available for these?

Use my iPhone (AT&T). Pretty decent screen. As far as I know Verizon offers iPhones as well.

Whats the lowest monthly Internet connection service fee?

I would only use it for the radar. Really just the Radar :oops:

So I can keep those dark clouds at bay :shooting:

I don't mind riding through rain but I prefer having my rain gear on before it begins to rain hard. Nothing like wet undies for the remained of the ride. :oops:

Sprint has the lowest unlimited data rate in the US. But they don't have good coverage.

I don't think such a thing exsists. Nobody but you wants just weather I am guessing. You either get all the features or none. And they are not cheap. My suggestion is look at the sky, check the weather radar on an IPhone and dress accordingly.
