psychrn: You have to justify the cost with your useage-for me a little too pricey. But it looks a good deal.

I look at it as great price range as i can be on mobile and yet get a reasonable good speed. I have broadband at home, sure i can stay home and surf and download huge amount of stuff (which i hardly do anyway, hard to break 5GB of 20GB allowance!!)... but i'd be tying myself to the desk, with VMC, i can be out about and at work or anywhere and still get online with my laptop. So for that $49 for 1GB, it's great price tag and give me the best mobility i couldn't have with home broadband. And certainly beat Woosh.
And of course, signed up to 24months mean I get $49 deal for 24 months, and when HSDPA card/handset is out, all i need to do is swap SIM Card and off i go on HSDPA...

It's a risk one will live with, and i am making the most of it today. Just as with any purchase you make on anything today, when you see that nice laptop on sale for $1500 for reasonable specs, how will you feel when in 6 months time, a better model replacing that model you bought selling for same $1500... It's a risk you will take when you made the purchase, you cannot sit and wait for great deal everytime, because there will always be better deal tomorrow and so on and so on... if you keep that mentality, you will never made a purchase and will never take a risk. And most things in life, things came out better when you actually tackle the risk head on.

chiefie: only to the difference of the VMC card. as the VMC card is subsidised from your 24 months contract. I have no problem using contract because i know i will be using that long.
Remember most contracts that are in placed are to get lock customer in for that period of term, and usually they allow you to get devices or equipment "free" as you will stay with them for the stated length of term. And if you don't like the service and decided to break out of the contract or term, then you will have to pay for penalty which usually the difference in cost of what the device/equipment would normally be if you have bought it outright in the first place.
simon_nz90:
You cant compare it from buying a laptop today for $1500 and a cheaper one coming out in six months! Maybe if you bought the laptop for $1500 and had to keep buying the same laptop for that same price every month for 24 months, then you could compare it.
I know what your saying, but your example doesnt make sence.
