i'll probably get it.

 

$90 a month a killer but oh well.

 

i did some calculations....

 

400 MB (month)

 

= 103 websites / day (13.3 MB)

= 4.29 websites / hour

= approx. 1 website / 14 mins

 

2 GB (month)

 

= 521.18 websites / day

= 21.7074 websites / hour

= approx. 1 website / 3 mins

 

360 GB (month) [hypothetical]

 

= 93,780 websites / day (12 GB)

= 3,907.5 websites / hour (512 MB]

= approx. 1.08 websites / second [0.14 MB = 143.6 KB]

or

1,260,000 (photo attached e-mails)

 

= 42,000 (day)

= 1750 (hour)

= 29 (min)

 

still sucks that th

Don't forget you have to add 15$ for call display. It's a big bill for something that will be obsolete this year...You know 32 gigs will be out b4 end of '08.

i know lol...

 

thing is i do/don't want to wait 2009 seeing they will probably have a wi-max iPhone.

 

true i could get an iPod Touch but no A-GPS lol...

 

plus if i do end up buying an unlocked iphone i still have to get the plan seeing i want the visual voicemail lol

 

i wonder how much bandwidth the a-gps will take up of the 400MB-2GB

 

oh yah the Rogers hotspots are Second Cups and not Starbucks bigger bummer.

 

Also no video conferencing, mms and chat like ichat/msn. I hope Adium will have an app for the app store.

I did some more calculations if you go over the amount you use per month... its killer but not that bad...

 

 

0.5$/MB * 60 = $30

0.03$/MB * 1024 = $30.72

 

1068 MB = $60.72 extra per month...

 

 

just sucks that the data is not like 1 - 2 - 5 - 6 GB

 

Rogers who have charged us about $52k for 1GB overage. Now its $60, so its sort of getting better.

I would have bought it if there would be an unlimited plan. I don't trust Roger's infrastructure. I could just picture myself bitching at them because they charged me for going over my usage because of the GPS.

 

I can't believe $52,000 for 1 GB! The worst rates in the world.

the $52k was when rogers would charge by the KB lol At least $60 is slightly more reasonable for the overage. True it still not unlimited.

 

Petition against Rogers

 

if anyone wants to send an actual letter to Ted, just msg me and I gave give you his address.

 

hahaha sweet just found something else online, my dad friend sued Rogers for $6 million a few years ago.

3 Telecom (Hong Kong)

 

3 has well over 15.9 million customers in 2007 all over the planet.

 

So you have to buy the phone, but its still pretty decent plans for 2 years.

with the iphone we can use our current plan and what not, from what i've heard.

 

Plus if you pay over $30/month you can upgrade to the iPhone, but it will still cost you $199-$299.

 

 

You can use this if you want for another option of the data plan, which is still a rip off.

 

Thing is if you don't have a data-plan with Rogers you are stuck with 0.05$/KB charge. Which really sucks because you use 1 GB you are stuck paying $52k. Either way we are all fucked, if we want internet on the go.
