After Bell charged me $3000 dollars for 4 months of 3G internet, I don’t think they will be getting any business from me or anyone I know and I don’t recomend anyone should deal with them. In fact, Bell Slowbility should be banned from operating any business anywhere. Actually, maybe they should go back to selling the old rotary phones, they were great.

I agree with RM, I think the instinct is a much more plausible option for Canadians. Having lived in multiple provinces in Canada, I’ve learned that Rogers coverage is limited to larger cities and towns and not a great option for a traveller. The instinct’s data plan blows the offer Rogers has stirred up out of the water.

CBC believes the pricing is ridiculus too…

Both phones could be considered excellent technology, but Rogers should NOT be considered an excellent carrier. Bell wins IMHO.

Scott, since Bell now has this product, it will definitely take biz away from Rogers – I know people who have decided to wait for it, (versus waiting in line for the I-phone….)

And the possessive is spelled “their”, by the way.

Rogers offers the LG Vu, an almost identical phone to the Samsung. Also, Rogers offers a unlimited internet plan as well for $7 a month. People are still going to pick the IPhone because it’s an Apple product, even if the IPhone plans are not unlimited. This isn’t a real competitor for it, and it will not make Rogers lower there plans.
