Until this afternoon, my data portion of my Rogers voice/data plan was the $40 "Data Plus Plan"... which gave me 7 MB/month. Talk about getting bent over!
After 2.5 hours on hold today, I switched to the $30 / 6 GB plan.
I think the tech guy took pity on me because the tech guy (I started with a sales guy) admitted that if I got a USB aircard (I purchased a Novotel Ovation MC950D tonight at Future Shop for $299)... I could slide my phone's SIM card into the aircard and 'use' my 6GB on my phone and/or my laptop, depending which one has my SIM card installed at that moment. I tested it as soon as I came home. Easy plug & play and it was a downloading rocket within 2 minutes of coming out of the box.
This is the answer I've been looking for for my cottage! 6GB/month to split between my phone and my laptop (same account!)... saving $10/month and getting a zillion times more data traffic for my $30. THANK GOD for the iphone. I will never own one (I prefer my HP IPAQ 6955) but without it, they never would have dragged Ted into a fair price change.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
