You must be fun at parties. Did it occur to you that some people might actually have a real job and want to buy an iPhone?
Do you derive pleasure from the suffering of others?
There are a million things I would like to say but I don't want to get banned myself but I do hope that you get a temp ban.
😡
I hope your boss at Telusasifwegivedamn or BellHell gives you a subscription to Jelly of the month club for your trouble.
Please say some of the things you are considering. I would really love to know. What exactly about my post did you find so offensive? I like the idea that Apple might be trying to force Rogers to be reasonable with their rates.
WTF does that have to do with having a real job? Are you implying I don't have a real job?
I honestly have no idea what you are talking about or why you are going off like you are. Please elaborate...
1. Not everyone thinks the plans are ridiculous compared to existing plans from other providers for "real internet". Future announced plans in reaction to the iPhone do not count. They don't count because they are CDMA providers and no details about conditions or limitations have been detailed. I looked at the Telus site and I noticed that their "voice" portion cost "more" than what Rogers offers.
2. Some of us have been suffering under use of locked phones from Rogers (me), Bell and Telus where the provider removed certain features and replaced the music player with their branded version.
I don't give a rats ass if other people think that they will use more data when I wanted an iPhone because it is not crippled or tied into the carrier ringtone download service.
I really don't give a crap about the whiners on here because many of you are obviously not in the market for a smart phone or you never travel outside of North America so an iPod Touch and some craptastic phone from a CDMA provider is obviously a better choice for you.
But you see, I like to travel abroad and stay in 5 star hotels on my vacations so these plans a not a big deal for me to afford.
Maybe one of you whiners would like to buy this craptastic krzr crippled with the Rogers music player off me.
🙁
I plan on buying the iPhone 16GB white and going for the 75 dollar plan since I think 750MB per month should be more than enough for me. I hope to be able to haggle with them to get the Call display thrown in for free.
Are you five or six? It's nice when special ed kids get to use the internet, I guess.
I don't feel special. Do you?
There is nothing wrong with wanting a good deal but did you notice that the Canadian market is a lot smaller than the US and yet GSM providers have to cover about the same amount of area? When I looked at what the price of data plans where with Rogers before the iPhone plans were announced and compared them to what they are offering now I can see a huge difference. We basically have price parity with AT&T if not data limit parity now compared to what it was a year ago.
Never noticed that and if you have, you made it up. Do you honestly think Rogers GSM covers as much area as ATT does in the US? Rogers covers pockets along a small strip on the southern border. That is it. Head outside of urban and major suburban areas or off of the 401 and what sort of coverage do you think you will get? You are either a liar or confused. Given your posts, perhaps it doesn't really matter.
I never expected price parity given how small the market is here and the only problem I have with the plans are the weekday minutes, incoming calls and outgoing text. The data cap is not an issue for me given that I can access the hotspots around my city and where I travel on business and because I do not plan on watching streamed video often on 3G.
Fair enough. Glad you will be satisfied with the rate currently offered. Why are you so offensive to those that do not agree with you? Usually indicates larger (or smaller) problems elsewhere. But, I forgot, you have a real job.
blah, blah, I travel and stay at 5 start hotels, I am rich, biatch...blah. blah.
Good for you. Now we all know what you like to say you do on vacation. I know my life is already better for knowing it.
The same thing applies with phones. I started out on the Telus mobility network with a "brick" motorola flip phone which probably weighed the equivalent of five iPhones. I also tried out Fido before going with Rogers several years ago before Fido was bought out by Rogers.
I had a Nokia phone with WAP from Fido, Moto V60 from Rogers, a Samsung Slider phone and now Krzr from Rogers. All of those phones had WAP internet and only the Samsung did not have MP3 ringtones locked out by Rogers.
The iPhone is what I want and the plans are what I would consider reasonable with a few tweaks considering the size of the Canadian market.
Great, you had some phones. That is awesome. Truly fantastic. Again, why is it that when others want better rates, you get so offensive? Perhaps you like high prices, (because of you good job and 5 star hotels) but many others feel Rogers rates are not reasonable.
But I have to reiterate that the "iPhone" is what I'm interested in because it is the first network locked phone that is not software or feature locked by the telcos.
And what exactly is it about this that interests you?
