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...
Well, I'll wait for reports back on that. I never use the 50 minutes and 50 texts that I get on my $15 Fido voice plan, and I use about 150 MB on my data plan. If the 3G allows for flawless VoIP, then I might be tempted to pay more, but I'm just not in the category that sees enough value in what Wind is offering.

After tax, my $40 plan is $45. $50 will have even more tax on it, too. So I'm paying $540 a year already. Do I want to pay $600+ (probably $660+) instead? You'd better make a damn fine case for why I need it.
