New Rogers data rates are not to be

So were any of you looking forward to the Rogers BlackBerry and PDA data plan changes? A recent update to that thread noted that the changed rates have been delayed indefinitely. For now, the best choice for data usage is the Telus PDA offer, which is now $30 per month for unlimited data (but not text messaging.)

The upcoming Q2 2008 service changes should make bundling voicemail and caller ID slightly more worthwhile – for $11 per month, you get:

Caller ID
Enhanced Voicemail
Name Display
Who Called
Mobile Backup
125 Text Messages

Considering caller ID and name display are about $9 per month by themselves, this will probably be the extra “standard package” to consider for light text messaging users. There are a few other Communicate Packs listed in the thread. Expect these packages to go live around May 6th.

Oh, and you can now get 1GB of BlackBerry data for $100 per month. Awesome!

…NOT.
