That's a bare minimum of $39.99 monthly for AT&T's basic 450-minute plan and an additional $20 for AT&T's cheapest, 300-megabyte data plan
Wow really? I used to think us in the UK got screwed on contracts. Just picked up a 600 minute, 1GB unlimited Text plan for ?28.50 and a free Xperia S

Yeah, you can about double that for the US. Our cell companies screw us every possible way they can.

plans in Canada are pretty rough too. However, they do have some nice ones. For example I have the "Fab10" plan. Which is unlimited local and long distance, unlimited picture, text, etc with any 10 numbers. Then I have 200 minutes, 1gb data, unlimited text/pictures/video/social networking. But I pay 80$ a month.

Blah I know the contract is what makes the phone so cheap, but if they had a way to get the phone "somewhat" cheap without one, I'd be buying every one of these phones up :p

Yeah,no contract price is pretty much same.

Lumia 900 : $449

iPhone 4S : $649 (16GB)

HTC Inspire 4G : $449

HTC Titan : $549

That's not too bad. I have T-Mobile unlimited plan for 50 a month. But i didn't have to buy the phone :)

I got the Atrix, had to pay 85$ for it, plus all the activation fees and such. Ended up being about 130$ total. And because it's NOT a blackberry I don't have to pay the 15$/mo Blackberry Service fee. so I ended up saving 15$ a month from my previous phone.

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
