Virgin Mobile Canada has a new plan for data hungry users, offering up to 6GB of data per month for $73. In addition, the new “Smartphone 73 – 6GB” plan also packs 200 Anytime Minutes; Weekends & Evenings starting at 6PM; Unlimited Canada, U.S. & International Text & Picture Messaging; and Unlimited Canada-Wide Talk & Text to 10 Buddies.

The plan will be available “until store close on September 30th” and is described as “ALMOST too hot to handle.”

We dig the idea that data hungry users will love it, but you need to determine your needs first. The chances are you don’t need that much data unless you’re video talking and watching videos all day long. Most of us fit in the “gig per month” bracket, maybe even less than that. What do you think?

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    For 2 months I had a 100MB data plan, but then downgraded to a talk and text plan with data add on, and now I’m paying less than I originally was for 300MB. As a student, our high school has wifi, my house and all my friends places have wifi… The only place in use data is work (they have it, but apparently not for employees – its a grocery store)
