The MAXroam rate calculator is apparently now correct. It comes with a major apology from Pat Phelan:

David Pogue has also done some extensive backtracking on his glowing review of last week:

I for one accept Phelan's statement that the error was not deliberate. I can't imagine a worse way to launch a product. Bottom line, however, is that this card is now a lot less attractive than it appeared to be initially. It really didn't look too good to be true, but I guess it was nevertheless.
