Why would you download 10 albums over 3G? Why not just do it over wifi? Is your wifi broken?Sascha Franck wrote:Similar here. But even inside germany, it can still become problematic.Hovmod wrote:3G becomes RIDICULOUSLY expensive as soon as you cross borders.
Last time I checked, I pay about 8 US$ per MB outside Norway.
I travel for work.
You do the math.
Sure, I do have a socalled flatrate, but there's still many places in germany where I get EDGE speed at best - and it doesn't make any sense to download anything at that speed. Then, the socalled flatrate only allows for 1 GB a month at full speed, after that you're capped down to 64kbps speed, again not exactly what you want when trying to get some different 10 albums onto your phone.
Add all this and there's still a big need for physical storage devices - at least over here. Just that stupid Apple restricts iDevices from having direct access to them.

Again, it sounds like it's not for you, so don't spend the lousy $25 (or whatever it costs there) for it. But that doesn't make it a poor value or stupid for people that are on a wifi network for 10 hours a day at work, have decent 3G coverage, and have wifi at home.
I have shitty 3Mbps DSL at home, and it's still working just fine.
