Sprint CDMA IWF - "Monthly pricing plans for the wireless data service, which provide speeds of 14.4 kilobits per second, include: $9.99 fee for 50 data minutes, $59.99 for 300 minutes of anytime/anywhere access with 100 data Yahoo site updates, $89.99 for 500 voice and data minutes, $129.99 for 800 voice and data minutes plus 200 updates, and $179.99 for 1,200 voice and data minutes. The cable connector for PC access costs $99." This works out to: 20 cents a data minute for the first 50 data minutes 16 cents a data minute for the next 250 data minutes 15 cents a data minute for the next 200 data minutes 13 1/3 cents a data minute for the next 300 data minutes 12 1/2 cents a data minute for the next 400 data minutes Does this seem reasonable? I don't have a feel for how much useful info can be transmitted within a "data minute" within the context of a Microbrowser enabled cell phone.
