"@ANoel: ANoel, tell me though, how much does an equivalent plan to that of the iPhone run you with a similar mandatory contract when you buy a new phone. You don't pay 4000$ for the phone (unless you're rich and dumb and you're actually buying a Vertu), you pay a fee for the phone and then you pay for service."

Your average soccer mom will check her mails every day, say 3MB worth of bandwidth per day, amounts to 90MB per month, a power user (pirate or guy who spends too much time on youtube can easily use 10 times that in a day. PS, @zincrox, idk if my comment got through, but i think it's the product of a white brush on a tablet, not of a font PPS: yes posting twice is evil sorry"
