LOL. I originally read that headline as MOBSTER details plan.
Given the price gouging by some carriers like Rogers in Canada, and even AT&T in some people’s opinion, maybe MOBSTER is right on the mark.

Ah… finally we have our precious iphone (and the dirty details).
But it sucks. Two reasons:
1. iphone is a lot pricier than in most other countries (you would think that our abbo’s are cheaper… but no… they are not… if we compare with the netherlands then we can only say that we’re screwed… they have the same abbo prices and have a discounted iphone)
2. limits… yes limits… I can live with limits but 200mb is nothing… (it goes up to 1gb which looks fair but it’s on the most expensive abbo only)
I think that we got screwed because of our law but also because we’re in the middle of europe selling unlocked phones
unfair… I think i’ll skip the iphone this year and wait another year… maybe we get a better deal or else i’ll lose interest eventually
