It seems as if owners of the Rogers Nokia N95 8gb phone are running into some difficulty and confusion. Apparently Rogers can't even decide if and how you can use the unlimited browsing vision pack on this phone. People are saying that you have to use the Rogers built in browser and not the built in Nokia S60 browser. CSR's are telling people that you can only view wap sites and not html sites.

We better not have these kinds of problems when they have to start answering questions about the iPhone. First of all, it better not have restrictions. No data cap would be nice, but more importantly, there better be no app restriction. For example, you can use safari and mail all you want but if you use youtube, it's 5 cents per kb. That would be ridiculous.

Next, the CSR's need to learn the difference between wap and html. Html is just a normal website. Wap is a site optimized for mobile phones basically. Now you can view both types of sites thorugh the wap portal (goam.com and wap.fido.ca) but it just depends on how well you phone can display html sites. The iPhone probably wont be using the wap portal anyway on rogers.

Everytime Rogers gets a decent phone, they don't seem to know how to handle it. I wish they would train their CSR's properly. If they can't release a phone and let it be used the way it's meant, don't pretend to release it by limiting it. People will just continue to complain. What the point of having an awesome phone but then worrying about it all day and whether or not you will be charged for doing basic things. Loading one web page is not worth $10, I'm not sure how Rogers can justify that.
