Hello
I believe I have found the holy grail of cell phone plans and phones
I am on speakout with unlimited internet
I use Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic with version 4 firmware:
I also am on Speakout with a 5800, and I agree it's a great match. I don't use the internet much, but I tried it for a month to play around. One thing I did notice is that some of the web sites (news, mostly) that I went to would time out on the proxy. I tried downloading Opera, but couldn't complete it due to a proxy error. Are they still having proxy errors?
Other than that, I agree. The 5800 is an awesome phone, even (or perhaps especially) for those of us who rarely use a phone. It's a replacement for my MP3 player, my PDA, my calculator, my GPS, and my camera, never mind the fact that it also makes calls.
Anyone considering one, just be aware that you have to set the phone to GPS only mode, since Speakout doesn't support the quad bands that Rogers uses. Not all 5800's are quad band, but mine is, and I think most of the ones sold by Rogers (ie. the ones showing up in the used stores) are.
