I'm pretty sure the typical iPhone user doesn't use their data plan anywhere near the amount a Blackberry user does.
FWIW: Prior to the iPhone release, I was able to watch streaming TV without problems on $49 3G SonyEricsson, now I can't without stuttering in both the video and audio.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20804754 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:48:22 EDT Re: Carriers hate iphone? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20803699 JSY : Well everyone has different uses. I work for a multibillion (euro)dollar investment bank and have market data streamed to my Blackberry all day in addition to the mail. Of course not everyone uses it this way, but everyone uses it differently. Also, the typical streamed music app is what - 32kb streaming audio? It's not like it's CD quality audio being streamed. But granted, it's a lot of data nevertheless.

And as far as battery life is concerned - I was thinking along the lines of a Blackberry. WM6 phones which I think most of those phones on that chart are, do drain batteries, but the feature set is quite different I think. But anyway, the battery comment was brought up to talk about whether or not people would be streaming data that much on the iPhone with the battery capacity.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20803699 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:43:56 EDT Re: Carriers hate iphone? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801735 anon : I beg to differ. I use my moto Q much like a blackberry and work for a multi billion $$ software company. I DON'T stream stuff at all. My monthly data usage averages out to ~15MB. Myself,my co-workers and others I know only download attachments as needed. Mostly, it just takes up space on the devices. M average message DL is about 4kb. Takes a LOT of those to make up just one 4 minute song streamed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801735 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:27:29 EDT Re: Carriers hate iphone? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20802293 anon : Weird you should mention battery life.

Seems iPhone 3g is on top as far as most smart phones out there.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20802293 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:03:28 EDT Re: Carriers hate iphone? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801136 JSY : I am not so sure about that - given the battery life of the iPhone, I don't know how much streaming activity is actually is utilized depite the new apps, unless your iPhone was plugged in all the time. Blackberry users on the other hand, especially the enterprise users, have a lot more mail traffic and attachments than your typical iPhone user and you're right, the typical users don't use the streaming things as much, but I suspect that to change. Either way, I do think these other providers are taking advantage of iPhone users. No joke - I really don't think it should cost anymore than an unlimited Blackberry data plan.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20801136 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:28:16 EDT Re: Carriers hate iphone? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800680 WALL_E :

I'm pretty sure the opposite is the case.

The types of activities people do on the iPhone consume much more bandwidth than activities typically done on a Blackberry. Blackberry users don't (usually) stream internet radio, listen to music on Seeqpod, stream YouTube videos, or download free applications.

I just burned up about 150 MB this on my iPhone 3G this morning streaming classic rock over a $4.99 internet radio application I bought on the new app store.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800680 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:01:33 EDT Re: Carriers hate iphone? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800473 JSY : I'm pretty sure the typical iPhone user doesn't use their data plan anywhere near the amount a Blackberry user does.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800473 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:26:51 EDT Re: Carriers hate iphone? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800110 djrobx : They've seen the data usage statistics. iPhone users actually USE their data plans, which means the carriers might actually need to build out more capacity for it. The nerve!
