I guess this comes under the "if you can't afford it, don't buy it", but all in all, if you were a new customer to Rogers, buying a blackberry and wanting to browse the internet, your still paying through your nose probably in the area of $90/month including taxes for your data and talktime. Is it just me, or is this over the top for the average consumer? While the iPhone data charges will be less, when you're paying $75/month on a cell phone bill every month for 3 years at a minimum, how can you justify that to yourself? I'm really interested in getting my first BB and I want to get either the Bold or Thunder when they arrive, but at these prices, I couldn't justify getting it for those monthly prices. I just wish some of these companies could look at it like this and truthfully say they're not giving it to the consumer in the hind.
