I agree with the Capt'n, while $50/month might seem more expensive than the cheapest packages from Fido or others out there, the key point really is that you're getting 5GB/month data on a 3G network that operates on the frequencies supported by N900... Yea of course it's only two major cities right now, but that's all part of any carrier roll out, and you'll see the network expansion happen next year (my bet would be they already have a lot of the build/infrastructure in place, they just have brought it online yet).
In my mind $50/month is the max you're going to have to pay... what's the point in the extra voice minutes/etc with the N900 when you should be able to do SIP calling on the 3G network without any problems? Why pay for extra text messaging when you can use a web gateway? This is the whole point of the N900 "as a telephony device" right? Move away from the "carrier determined services" and instead rely soley on the carrier as an ISP...
What's the deal though guys, I haven't had a chance to find a WIND kiosk near me yet... but if you showed up with an N900 and said "here's my phone, I want to sign up for plan X" I assume they'd say "cool, here ya go" right? or?
