or might the moscone be damping (what's the right technical term?) service in the meeting rooms to prevent outbound video streaming? dunno.
Doing so would get them thrown in jail, so I don't think so.

This was not funded by Consumer Reports (what the hell do they gain from this research?). It was funded by AT&T...

I'm not saying the iPhone isn't a good device, I just didn't need one in my circumstances. I find irritating when you make a jokey jibe against the iPhone, someone has to think you're jealous of them.

I have pretty good internet on the road and much faster internet at home.
You have pretty good internet on the road and pretty good internet at home.
So we're paying the same amount but I'm getting way better service than you. And you're asking ME why I do things the way I do?
I agree with this and it puzzles me that you and I would be considered bandwidth hogs. I use 5-6 GB average per month. I check my email every 15 minutes, send and recieve lots of pictures, watch lots of youtube, stream Pandora, even play bejeweled (which downloads).
Didn't we come to the conclusion that the BOGOF were conducted by the carriers, not RIM?
60% use less than 50mb a month?
That is less than 2 web pages a day!
What are these people doing with a smartphone?
Yep. You're paying for data as we all are. Unlimited = No Limit = Use as much as you want.
....
I don't agree with tethering for those that do, but usage within TOS I say use as much as you need.
Probably because BlackBerry users actually have things to do
I had the choice to jump to the iPhone and denied it totally. Not regretting adopting the blackberry one single bit.
a) The device is a rip-off money wise (especially when you look at it SIM-Free)
b) I don't have time/money to waste on the apps
c) Already have an iPod that isn't very old
d) Blackberry does what it needs to do (make calls and send messages reliably)

me too! If AT&T is so concerned about usage, they should offer incentives to get people to use WiFi when it is available. If I got some small incentive (a free app each month, a percentage off my bill, etc) for keeping my data usage down, I would be more apt to remember to connect to WiFi. With the AT&T hotspots all around major cities, it's pretty easy to connect to these and reduce data usage over 3G.
