[citation][nom]Smochina[/nom]Rim compresses data my ass. Iphone apps are compressed from the start, web page data does not use device specific compression so your argument is at best dumb. There is no raw video on the internet so that is compressed too, regardless of device. The reason why Iphone users use it so much is because of the huge amount of data included in the data plan, so they don't worry about browsing, youtubing and downloading apps.[/citation]
Believe what you wish... I wouldnt bother with a data device if it werent for my unlimited mobile package. I used roughly 200-400MB/m when I was on a BB, and I average 1.5GB/m on WM accessing generally the same amount of content.
My provider (telus) wants me to go from my Unlimited-$15/m grandfathered data plan, to $25/m for 500MB if I want an iphone or any HSPA device. So your argument is lost on my personal experience as I would pay more for iphone data. In your defense, telus is unique in that respect as they did just get the iphone, but I digress.
I dont claim to know how, thats what RIM claims. Im just trying to explain what I see in laymans terms. But you can have rim compress your ass as much as you want with that lip of yours. You can disagree with my argument all you want, but clearly youre just looking to argue
