So, last night I attempted to get the "Sony Ericsson Connection Proxy" working, which would allow me to use my PC's internet connection through my new phone, allowing me to browse the internet on the phone without being charged extremely high data prices through Cingular(Blue).
The connection proxy software failed to work at some point, resulting in $0.03 a KiloByte charges, and with 923 KiloBytes.... Close to $30 for ONE SINGLE MEGABYTE!!
I called to have them add an mmode plan, which if I'm lucky will take that data with it, lowing my charges significantly, either way, $30 for a megabyte.
It would cost a small fortune to download a linux ISO, and to download something like the windows vista beta, at 3.57 GB would land you around $107,000 dollars.
Of course, now I believe cingular charges a bargain basement price of $0.01 without a data plan, which I think is still expensive. Eitherway I'm annoyed and I'm crossing my fingers that that mmode plan I got put on this morning will save me.
