Seen at the Fido retail store on the corner of Robson & Seymour Streets:
I don’t know that we can read much into this; after all, it is early (these photos were taken at approximately 8:30pm). Still, I can’t help wonder if our collective outrage over Rogers’ extortionist data plans has really had an effect on our enthusiasm.
What are the lines like in your neck of the woods?
After watching this promotional video for the Nokia N82, I understand why Ms. Jen makes a distinction between creators and consumers. I also understand why, in its current incarnation, an iPhone just isn’t for me.
I’m not one for idle speculation, but it seems that maybe — just maybe — Canadians are a little closer to getting their hands on the iPhone:
A tip indicates that the carrier will begin offering a reworking of the company’s $20 monthly Communicate Package that allows both unlimited Internet access from a given phone as well as up to 2500 SMS text messages, 1000 MMS picture or video messages, and calling extras such as voicemail and caller ID. A separate $7 plan will offer just the Internet use and 50 minutes of video calling with Rogers’ VISION service, while a $5 plan will offer just the data alone.
An iPhone isn’t in my plans anymore at the moment until my financial fortunes improve, but after spending almost a week with the Nokia N82, I’ve come to appreciate just how valuable having easy access to mobile telephony, wireless access, and a camera in one small, portable package is to me. Seeing that a Canadian carrier is FINALLY getting the message gives me hope that more carriers will soon follow suit.

I just found out about Kindle, Amazon.com’s new wireless reader. If you haven’t heard of it, Endgadget has a brief rundown of the specs. Go read that and then come back here.
