We could only assume, but I'm pretty optimistic that the same won't happen to the iPhone launch plan, otherwise they would be inciting a huge boycott!

This is quite an amazing deal! I am definitely interested in it, the only question here is, is it still available to have? looking for more information on this. Thank you for sharing it.

Dave.

This is completely typical of Rogers. Can we assume the iPhone launch plan will be mishandled, miscommunicated, and misunderstood in a similar fashion? This is a joke.

Nokia's built-in “Share online” works well enough for me (although ShoZu definitely is nice and has more features). I just want a data plan that lets me use it more than a couple of times a month!

ShoZu – I do 300-400MB using ShoZu every month on my grandfathered Fido EDGE $50/month unlimited plan

by the way rogers.com/mobileinternet is 404. could we have a url that works please?

also the PC Card plan of $65 a month doesn't seem to be consistently available, until something like this is available to anybody with an unlocked phone, we can't put this topic to bed IMHO

The Globe & Mail's front page is nearly 1MB – that's a lot more bandwith than, say, Jaiku, and low bitrate podcasts typically are not much more than a megabyte. So 10 pages of the Globe & Mail is about 4 or 5 podcasts, or a handful of full resolution photo uploads. Why can't I choose?

And don't 3G PC cards use the same network? Why can we have 1 – 5GB plans for PC card plans but for mobile phones? I don't think it's about the bandwith; it's about trying to create an old-style AOL & charge for each individual application.

“Fortunately(?) there is another option, the not widely publisized but generaly avalable option to apply a $65 for one GB of any-type usage to your phone” *Where*, where, where is this plan? To whom do I have to speak? I've called, I've written, and called, and written, and have *always* been told that that plan is *not* available for phones.

(Does the Rogers browser do Flash, by the way?)

What a deal!! When I pay them to just deliver the content, they are even kind enough to help me decide the content i get. Thanks Rogers! In return, I will use your web portal so you can make money off marketing deals.

No, seriously, got eat sh*t.

My guesses for the top 10 list are: opera mini, youtube, flickr, fring, yahoo go, facebook, twitter client.

1) Iphone is going to suck if safari/3rd party apps aren't enabled
2) What's sadder than 1)? There is nothing we can do about this. We are being robbed in front of our eyes. That is what hurts.
Why 2), because idiots like myself will overlook 1) + 2) and still go with rogers for the iphone.
