Finnish iPhone 3G has limits on data plans

The Finnish iPhone 3G provider Sonera has announced it’s pricing for iPhone’s monthly voice, sms and data plans.

Good news: the monthly fees (there’s three main choices) start from 31,69 euros (that’s currently $50,03 dollars). I feared it would be closer to 50 euros, so I’m happy it’s not. Still, 31,69 euros is way more than I’m paying now for my non-3G phone bill.

Bad news: the monthly fees don’t include limitless data. With 31,69 euros you’ll get only 100 Mb per month, with the overflowing traffic costing an arm and a leg (1,49 euros per Mb). In practice you’ll have to keep constantly guessing how many websites you can visit per month. Sonera is including their Home Run wi-fi service with every plan, but the placement of these hotspots are quite limited.

Surprise: the cost of iPhone 3G depends on the monthly plan. 159 euros ($251) for the 8 Gb model in the 31,69 euros per month plan.

Going to be missing in action

I’ve previously had problems with my earphones, because those small foam and rubber things that surround the earphone part always come off and go missing.

So, come to think of it, it was not propably very wise to buy Sennheiser’s MX 55 VC Street earphones. They have not only one, but two pieces of rubber that can come easily off, I today realized. Yes, the smaller rubber thing above the actual earphone secure the earphones very snugly into my ears, but the whole thing is going to be pretty useless, if they go missing.

Fortunately the box came with lots of spare parts. They might actually last a few weeks (and then I’ll have to go buy another pair of headphones).
