I explained that I had a sophisticated phone with a 5 megapixel camera, and wanted a suitable dataplan to go on it. The rep suggested a 1 GB plan for $65. I asked if this was the same as the HSPA card plan, and she said no. She wouldn't sell me the 2 or 3GB plan. Still, it beats the tar out of the old $100 for 200M plan I had on my Blackberry. I think the N95 could probably be a very credible phone / mobile broadband mode with the 1G plan, but I wouldn't do things like run Qik and stream video from it. Even a few minutes of video shot at 5 mpix is 50 megs of data. Tom - I saw the same 1, 2, 3 GB plans you did, and phoned Rogers customer service.

Which data plan are you using or getting away with ? I've noticed that Rogers has some surprisingly reasonable 1,2,3 GB plans for their HSPA cards but I wasn't able to figure out if I slipped one those SIMs into a handset (tethered or otherwise) if they'd let that slide or find a way to crush me with 5 cents a kilobyte... And PC cards are pretty useless if I ever get that macbook air. I think an N95 as a combo 3G smart phone and portable, mobile broadband modem is just about the perfect wireless solution. Very cool.

I don't have the new N-95 and given what we pay for mobile services already, it isn't likely I'll see one any time soon. But good call on a deplorable design for that case. I always struggled with how to carry my N95 (early version) and just wound up with it in my pocket most of the time. That means it spilled out of a shirt pocekt onto the ground more than once though.
