Adel Bazerghi, Bell Mobility’s vice-president of products, said the carrier decided to offer an unlimited plan with the Touch so that customers wouldn’t need to worry about exceeding their monthly data allowances – a scenario he said would take away from their “enjoyment” of the device.
While Bell’s $7 unlimited plan runs the risk of upsetting its subscribers who use competing devices such as the BlackBerry, which don’t come with unlimited data options, Bazerghi stressed that the lack of a full keyboard means the HTC Touch will hold little appeal for email-crazed business-types.
Mathieu, I seen your same post on 4 sites so far, stop spreading your ignorance! Mathieu, please don't give people wrong information. The $7 dollar unlimited plan is exactly that, UNLIMITED, you can go on any site, listen to radio and TV streams however long you want as I confirmed this with Bell Mobility customer service as well as data support. The only thing you CAN'T do (which is an available feature but not part of the $7/month plan) is use your phone as a modem. In addition should there be any page that was chargeable you would receive a warning like down-loadable music or ring tones. Why only $7/month when BlackBerry plans with the same services are going for $100/month for 1gig? Well because in 2008 phone pricing and data plans will drastically decrease due to the fact that more competitors will be allowed to compete in Canada reducing the current rate plans.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
