Good news, Canadians!

Bell’s launched new data plans for BlackBerry and WinMo devices — 1GB of data ($6/MB for roaming in the US and 3 cents per extra MB). Strangely enough is Bell’s next tier offering: 8MB of data for $40. What? That’s right, for $5 less you can opt for only 8MB of data (versus 1GB, remember). The big sell on this one is that it allows tethering with no additional fee.

Sure, it’s pricey at a whopping $45, but show me a better option for those of us who absolutely need to tether.
