I've been seriously considering a MiFi. This is a device that lets you connect up to 5 WiFi devices to a cellular 3G network.
My main use would be to take it to our cottage where we would be able to still use the internet and keep in touch/be entertained/work. With up to 5 connections, me, my wife and the kids can all be using the net at the same time.
Yes, we would go to a cottage nestled in the woods near Cultus Lake and then spend the time on the internet :-)
Rogers and Bell are carrying it right now, $250 w/o contract. I'd like to get it unlocked so I can choose any carrier I want (and open the possibility to use it when we go out of country). I've found sites than can unlock for around $15.
I'm a bit on the fence: I really don't need another data plan especially when my iPhone plan has 6 Gigs of data and I use nowhere near this amount. If only I could use my iPhone SIM in the MiFi to access that huge data bucket....
