exactly. i access the internet through internet.com, which connect to BIS because i have a blackberry smartphone data plan. Windows mobile phones can use the same APN, although it will not connect to BIS obviously, and phones using wap (rogers mall, online browsing for non-smartphones) connect via goam.com with username:wapuser1 and password: wap.

So yesterday I called Rogers to see what they could offer to retain me as a customer, as lately I've considering this corporate pricing plan offered through Baka Wireless on Bell Mobility's network.

a pricing plan of $17.25 which includes

250 day-time minutes
Unlimited evenings 8p-8a, and free weekends

* Activation Fee Waived
* Call Forwarding for Free
* Call Display for Free
* Call Waiting for Free
* Conference Calling for Free
* Detailed Billing for Free
* Message Centre (Voice Mail) for Free

and $30 for Unlimited email & internet for BB / Smartphones


I've been a customer of rogers for nearly 10 years, 8 of which off contract, and have never done a hw upgrade. I shared with the Rep the pricing plan which Baka is offering and this is what Rogers Rep counter-offered.

a pricing plan of $17.40 which includes

200 day-time minutes + 100 bonus minutes
Unlimited evenings 6p-7a and free weekends.

For an additional $30 they offered me two options.

* 1GB of Data
* Caller ID & Voicemail
* No txt messaging

or

* 500 MB of Data
* Caller ID & Voicemail
* 10,000 TXT, 10,000 MMS Messages

Based on some of your experiences dealing with Rogers Customer Service, would you consider this a good offer, or would there be additional room to negotiate with rogers for a better rate, minutes, features, etc?

Any comments/feedback would be appreciated.

The VP is not so great, yes you do have 50 more mins ... but your evenings start @ 8pm.

*Ask for the normal rate of the EPP plan, same shit but ... 200 daytime & evenings @ 6pm*

Data - "SO-SO"

*Ask for 1GB & 2500 TXT MSGs & whatever*
(my GF and i have had PDA-Phones for awhile & both txt each other like crazy, never pass 400 txt msgs each)

Good Luck

I average 2500-3000 sent and another 2500-3500 incoming / month, lol. It's a bit much I think...

The thing is ... are you doing short form, letter commands (ex: facebook) & etc ? Or are you doing full 160 char txting for each msg? *That's what I do*

It certainly doesn’t take long for information to start pouring out of RIM as soon as one of its NDAs springs a leak. A host of details emerged today about the BlackBerry Application Suite which allows a Windows Mobile device to run the BlackBerry OS as an application. The Application Suite is approximately 32 MB in size and is currently based on OS 4.2.1 which can be programmed to boot up as soon as Windows Mobile boots up. BlackBerry email, PIN messaging (important to many is the fact that BlackBerry Messenger works), calendar, tasks, address book and memos function in the same way as they do on a real BlackBerry, including BES synchronization. IT policies are supported and Windows Mobile and BlackBerry can simultaneously through their separate APNs. Also of note is the fact that Windows Mobile and the Application Suite can each be tied into a separate Exchange accounts without complication. But with all that work having been done, there are quite a few key features of any good smartphone that will not work. Features like GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi cannot work as the Application Suite does not have access to them. Phone calls cannot be made through the Application Suite so it routes all calls through Windows Mobile. Video playback is not supported and some applications may not work properly on devices with VGA resolution. Sounds like RIM would have been better served if it had decided to work with an open OS… *cough* Android *cough* Symbian

So there you have it - BlackBerry Application Suite in a nutshell. Do we like or dislike? Either way, hit the jump for a horribly blurry video of the Suite in action.

90% of the msg's are actual msg's. I use Facebook through the iPhone app.

METAL GEAR SOLID - Coming to the iPhone!



Earlier this month, we reported on a widely circulated rumor that Metal Gear Solid may be coming to the Xbox 360. Variations of this rumor suggested that Konami had, not an Xbox 360 title in store for the gaming world, but an iPhone/iPod Touch version as evidenced by the “mgst” in the teaser URL at Konami’s website. Those perceptive rumors ended up being spot on as Konami announced today the future availability of four new titles, including Metal Gear Solid Touch for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The four titles: Dance Dance Revolution S Lite, Frogger, Silent Hill The Escape and Metal Gear Solid Touch. The games are expected to be released according to the following schedule:

Dance Dance Revolution S Lite : From Late December, 2008 in Japan and North America Frogger : From Late December, 2008 in Japan, North America, and Europe Silent Hill The Escape : From Late December,2008 in Japan, North America, and Europe Metal Gear Solid Touch : Spring, 2009 in Japan, North America, and Europe This is great news for Apple and PS3 fans alike. PS3 owners can also take some consolation in knowing that their exclusive title, Metal Gear Solid, has not defected to the Xbox 360 platform while Apple fans can look forward to some hot new games hitting the iPhone and iPod Touch.
