[...] My Softbank 705px (a Panasonic) cost me a grand total of $60, $30 of which is for the phone and $30 for the pre-paid time. I’m not quite sure how much talk time that is but not much is necessary here in Japan as everyone communicates through e-mail. 300 yen ($3) of the $30 for my pre-paid card goes toward an unlimited text and e-mail plan. That’s right…unlimited text and e-mail for $3. Why on earth do we pay such ridiculous prices for mobile plans in Canada? [...]

Yes, we get dinged big time. Owning an iPhone with a data plan will cost you big time. It’s too bad some people won’t see this and sign up anyways. Ouch…or, for a lack of better word…FAIL!!!!!
