I storm chase quite a bit and lately I've been finding it would be awfully nice to have internet on the road to look up radar and what not.

I honestly don't know too much about the options for data, so a little help is needed. With the recent drops in data rates, I figured now is a good time to get into it.

First of all, I'm 14 months into a 3 year contract with Rogers, so I will either have to do an expensive hardware upgrade with what phones they have or purchase an unlocked phone. Having said that, I would also like to tether the phone. Looking at radar and weather maps on a small cell screen won't cut it (would have been sufficient on the iphone though). So what phones allow tethering and what rogers plans allow it as well? A Blackberry with 300mb data concerns me and weather data can be very large.

Question about 3G... is it active throughout the entire rogers network or is it mainly in largely populated city centers?
