Just some thoughts on mobile data rates

First of all, as a guest editor I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you all the best for 2008 and that this new year will be packed with new technology and mobile devices to make our lives easier. 

As of tomorrow, Vodafone NL has some new mobile data rates. The old rates were quite pricey: You got a 200 MB bundle for 39 Euro's (that is currently about 56 US dollars) with HSDPA speeds up to 3.6 Mbit. That is quite fast, but with a bundle of 200 MB you probably won't make it till the end of the month. Now there is a significant price drop to 20 Euro's (about 29 US dollars) for the same 200 MB bundle. On the other hand: T-Mobile NL offers flat fee mobile data for 9,95 Euro's (about 14,50 U$) but the speed is only 64 kbps. So you have a fast connection with limited data amounts on one side and a slow connection with unlimited data on the other side.

Which connection would you prefer ? What is your current data plan and does it suit your needs ? Just let me know !
