What do you need the other line for Will?

One for women, and one for business?

Lets see, cant really discuss how much I pay because its uncomparable. I have an employee plan through sprint so yeah…its good, lets leave it at that.

My friend however, has the HTC Mogul and he pays $70 a month for:

450 Anytime Minutes
Unlimited Nights and Weekends (starting at 7pm)
Unlimited Mobile to Mobile (includes Sprint and Nextel)
No Long Distance Charges
No Roaming Charges
Unlimited Text Messaging
Unlimited Web Browsing (edge)
Unlimited Pic and Vid Messaging
Unlimited Mobile TV
Unlimited Internet Radio
Unlimited GPS Navigation

So its not bad compared to what others pay for there plans. I would discuss mine but seriously, no compare!

And let me say this… I’d happily pay more for unlimited 3G data. And, actually, come July 11, I will be paying about $20 more for both iPhones to get unlimited 3G data.

I pay $65 per month for:

*150 anytime mins
*unlimited rogers 2 rogers/fido
*2500 outgoing texts
*voicemail, caller ID ect..
*UNLIMITED BROWSING!!!! (edge) but I’ll be honest on the opera browser it’s quite fast

I’d prefer paying around $50 for all those features plus video calling (my next phone will probably have North American 3G)

Is that really overpriced? What do you americans/europeans get charged?

I don’t think rogers wireless will give a $7 unlimited plan. They are too greedy. Imagine the data plan they offer today. It’s unbelievably expensive! You charged by the number of bytes as if this virtual thing is gold! You are literally burning money. If they are going to continue doing this then Canada will be left out in technology. I wish more players like AT&T will come into Canada. Too bad it won’t come true. Poor iphone I can’t surf the net unless there’s wifi with no password….

Actually, the fact that Apple will be releasing the iPhone 3G in 22 countries all over the globe on the same day, with the right firmwares for each region, at roughly the same price points is quite a feat. I don’t know if it qualifies as “innovative” or a “breakthrough,” but the logistical aspects of such a product launch are mind-boggling – unprecedented, even.

I can’t think of any other manufacturer that has launched a new device simultaneously around the world.

Wow. They will actually sell it in Canada! What a break through, such innovation.
