    Yep. I love my MBP, but if I am in a corporate environment I want people to use PC's, and they are probably going to be Thinkpads.

    The iPhone would download far less data than a computer. Still, it loads up whole webpages which can often contain a bit of data...



    I'd just like to see them stop saying "unlimited" when it's not. And I figure lets not single Rogers out as if they're the only one! (and no I'm not canadian or an employee of Rogers

    "Contest price means what they say the value is when you 'buy' something with your $3500 'contest dollars'.... It's a little out of whack. What's interesting is that they say the prize will be available when the product hits the Canadian market in January 2008... That's a pretty strong statement from a company like Molson (c'est pas des tous-nus!)

    Also BootCamp is still beta so few enterprise customers will even consider using it yet.

    I really want an iPhone, but Rogers is the one carrier I would never use, they are by far the worst in the country for both billing and coverage. There are vast areas of the country that can't even get Rogers service.
