Re: Brazilian Maemo users, please say hello
 
I'm from Lisbon, Portugal, but living in Sydney, Australia for 3 years now.

My name is Hugo and I have my N900 since Jan (ordered it from the US in late November)

None of you "Brazucas" in Sydney? There's lots here :D

Sounds like you'd be better off at another carrier.

Let me just get this straight: what do you have right now and what do you want to have? We went so far talking I got confused =)

I know, we flock like summer will never come =)

I have a few friends who lived in Australia for a while, but none of them are there now. Know a few Australians living in Brazil though, even worked with one as an English teacher. =)

Btw, i'm not sure you guys noticed, but the option with unlimited (well, except for the speed limit) data plan, even though its post-paid, it actually requires you to spend a minimum amount of money each month even if you don't use the minutes; i find that kinda stupid, if it's post why the **** should i pay before hand in order to be allowed to use it?

Unlimited plan is ******** man, you can only use ( for Vivo ) 2gb, then you pay extra taxes, because companies don't sell you Speed, just data:mad:, and their "unlimited " data is up to 2gb... :confused:I do not know about Tim, and about their politics in voice thing too, and for my operator, I talk like 150 mins month and I pay more or less 200 R$. Is that your avagerage?:confused:

I pay for truly unlimited data. No matter how much I download, it's the same flat rate at the same speed, and I have a Vivo plan. Guess they changed it this year, then.

Man so you are lucky. I talked with them last year when I bought my N85, because I was also buying a vivo 3g thingy to use mobile internet with my notebook, and that's what the guy told me, that after 2gb downloaded internet speed would come to be like dialed net! ( For both mobile and modem )

I dunno if I ever reached 2gb with my mobile (have wifi at home), but dude, 2gb is A LOT OF downloading if you only use while out. Did you ever download more than that a month? I mean, considering you DON'T use it as your main home internet?

If you do, disregard what I said =)

Well, yeah, hehe I know its a lot to download. I never reached this limit, but I could, if for example I download thing like debian and other huge apps to the phone it's easily gone... Glad I have my wifi too for this, also glad youtube videos and other internet flash players have streaming media, so it's not " counted "as a download.

Er... it is. A 4 min. streamed youtube video will set you back around 20 mb on your 2gb quota =)
