My Blackberry’s service bill for January 2008 was just short of $900. I don’t even browse the web, let alone use Google Maps or Facebook on it. Now how will that translate into the new plans for Rogers and Fido here in Canada? I’m currently on Rogers and they do not offer unlimited data (to Blackberry devices anyways). But they do offer 5mb for only $10/month. What the hell are you going to do with 5mb? I remember back in the day I could get on the net with my 14.4 modem and that was $20/month with unlimited downloads. That was 11 years ago. Mind you, if you double your data on your Blackberry to 10mb, it’ll be $20/month. Great. I’m pretty sure with my 14.4 modem I could download more than 10mb within a month. It may have taken about an hour to download 10mb, but at least I wasn’t charged for any data overages.

Rogers seriously need to unfuck their Blackberry consumers as soon as the unlimited data comes out for the iPhone. How pissed off would you be when you find out people have unlimited access to the web for $20/month while you’re sitting here typing on your Blackberry trying to view text-only sites.

Anyways, I’m not sure where I’m going with this. This “news” post should actually be filed under things that piss me off. Rogers-you guys piss me off.

Back on topic. 3G iPhones. Yippee. Come July 11th, tell me how it goes..
