Starting June 7, 2010 At&T is foregoing the too good to be true, unlimited data plan. As a web designer, mobile notary, and Christian minister, I would suffer from this change if it was mandatory for current iPhone users. The new data plans are masked behind the "make it more affordable" to the masses. It is actually a way out of the unlimited plan that seems to be making AT&T's bandwidth cry for mercy these days. The plans will look like this according to the latest AT&T press release:
The new AT&T plans provide large amounts of data to enable people to enjoy their favorite online activities:
- DataPlus. Provides 200 megabytes (MB) of data – for example, enough to send/receive 1,000 emails (no attachments), plus send/receive 150 emails with attachments, plus view 400 Web pages, plus post 50 photos on social media sites, plus watch 20 minutes of streaming video – for just $15 per month.** This plan, which can save customers up to 50 percent off their wireless data charges, is designed for people who primarily like to surf the web, send email and use social networking apps. If customers exceed 200 MB in a monthly billing cycle, they will receive an additional 200 MB of data usage for $15 for use in the cycle. Currently, 65 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 200 MB of data per month on average.
- DataPro. Provides 2 gigabytes (GB) of data – for example, enough to send/receive 10,000 emails (no attachments), plus send/receive 1,500 emails with attachments, plus view 4,000 Web pages, plus post 500 photos to social media sites, plus watch 200 minutes of streaming video – for $25 per month.** Should a customer exceed 2 GB during a billing cycle, they will receive an additional 1 GB of data for $10 for use in the cycle. Currently, 98 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 2 GB of data a month on average.
- Tethering. Smartphone customers – including iPhone customers – who choose the DataPro plan have the option to add tethering for an additional $20 per month. Tethering lets customers use their tethering-enabled smartphones as a modem to provide a broadband connection for laptop computers, netbooks or other computing devices. Tethering for iPhones will be available when Apple releases iPhone OS 4 this summer.
Some good news for current smartphone users: Current smartphone customers are not required to switch to the new plans, but can choose to do so without a contract extension.
Another fabulous addition for mobile notaries or other career-mongers who require tethering: Tethering is available and even for the iPhone, no more jailbreak 
Well I bought this Blackberry 7310e off of ebay for $67 plus shipping. Pretty great deal considering that the phone goes for over $250 retail. I ended buying the phone because Blackberry’s are finally compatible with Mac thanks ot PocketMac software. Considering that the 
I got my G4 Powerbook back in May 2005 and I still love the laptop, but my main problem has been the power adapter issues. The stock adapter got a short in it within one year, and I had to replace it. The stock mac power adapter would have cost me about $85 and I refused to buy it at that price.
Being a pastor and a father of three daughters, I have made a decision to sell my XBOX 360 Premium and all my games as well. I have a decent military background and was always compelled to play shooters and military strategy games, and my daughters would end up catching a glimpse of this action.
