Some cell plan prices may vary by state as well. I know that they totally gouge us here in Alaska, but I understand that there are other differences from state to state as well. Or at least there used to be.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There is a difference on the unlimited medianet bundles with AT&T. When I got the BlackJack, they said I had to pay $40/month instead of the $20, so I paid per use.

With Alltel, I get unlimited internet for $20 with the Moto Q (which is basically the same phone as the BlackJack).

I didn't, but I figured that out and changed it. Now my iPhone has custom rings that I didn't pay for!

Hey. New board.

What plan is that, Gris?

It's called T-Mobile Total Internet

When I was on AT&T, I had an "unlimited" data plan that was $20 a month. But one month I used a lot of data, and they tried to charge me about $300 for it. Then they said it was because I was using a Treo, which required a different plan, and it could cost even more to be allowed to use Bluetooth tethering. They ended up saying I needed to pay about $60 a month to get what I wanted. I said no thank you and switched. My Treo is unlocked. For a while, I had slow, unlimited internet (phone only) for $7 a month, then upgraded to the faster one with hotspot access.

I think the iPhone plan is a lot better. Though I'm not sure you can use the iPhone as a bluetooth modem for your laptop, can you?

An odd problem has appeared on my Windows XP Home machine. Whenever I insert a new music CD, Windows Explorer opens a new window listing the .cda files. Autorun is turned off, so it's not that. Any solutions?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Seems to me that autorun might not be turned entirely off. What do you find when you view the properties of the CD drive and select the AutoPlay tab? The "Actions" settings may be different for each item in the drop-down list. What action is highlighted for "Music CD"? The highlighting on the WinXP machine I currently have access to is light grey against white, which is hard to see, but I think it is the default display scheme in that window.
