As much as I am trying to believe this, I just can't imagine Bell doing this...... Hopefully they prove me wrong lol.

Rileys a pretty reputable man when it comes to releasing Telus Insider Info... so hmm .. should be intresting if he can pull Nostradamus with Bell too!

[Norstadt]

Totally TRUE ... I got the info from 2 trainings and the HTC rep. Only valid at Bell, not Telus, and only for this phone.

15$ FUN package: 200 txt, caller ID, voicemail and unlimited data... wooohooo!
This is too good to be true, let's see how many will be shipped the first week...

[Badmana]

Yep, I can also confirm it's true.

I think it's a mistake on Bell's part but it is true. Unlimited data on a PDA type device (it is 'classed' as a cell phone).

[aerok]

That is amazing... unlimited data for 7$... Too bad it's hard to type on a Touch

Any extra details ?

Unlimited data available with new activations ? Renewals ?
Can one keep the same plan ?

Thanks

This will be my new phone if all this really is true.

It is classed as a cell phone not a data device, the $7 unlimited wap option is available on any 1X or EVDO enabled phone.

i have to believe the last guy. isn't the 7 bucks for wap only. none of the people who confirmed the initial poster or himself stated wap or the good stuff! i pay for the unlimited data at $100 now, there is no way bell or anyone else would give me the same service for $93 less per month.

This is a direct quote from the announcement:

It is recommended that clients subscribe to the FUN 15 or FUN 25 Music bundles to gain access to the Unlimited Mobile Browser service in order to prevent unnecessary data charges and to use most applications requiring data on the device (i.e. Internet Explorer Mobile, Windows Live Messenger, Outlook Mobile, etc.)

They also had this note as well:

If a client would like to use the W-Modem application (tethered-modem), then an E-mail and Internet data feature is required.

If the Touch has Internet Explorer Mobile, and Outlook Mobile but uses the wap portal for data, you will get all the benefits of a data device without the cost of data service. I have a strong feeling I will be buying one of these (too bad they couldn't do the same with the Q)

Then what is the difference between this device and, let's say, A920 other than screen size ?
Since, anyway, I already have unlimited mobile browser, what can the device do that A920 can't ?

Thanks

email, web browsing, & it runs windows mobile which means you can easily load third party software.
