I'll just wait until May so I have alot more leverage to get what I want out of them. Thanks for the offer, though. I thought about it, but I’ll pass.

Only like $25 to transfer the account, then you can try and snag whatever phone you want, lol. Been looking to try and ditch Telus for a while, but can't afford the $700 cancellation fee... I get horrible reception here in Montreal with Telus, so many dropped calls. But from what i hear Telus is good in Toronto. It's an idea. Atleast that way you will only have about 2 years on the contract. Hey, if you want to switch to Telus and don’t want to be sucked inf or a full 3 year contract you can take over mine!

And besides, the iPhone might be out in Canada by then. ;) This whole hardware discrepancy is a bit of a turn off altogether.

That also makes the decision a bit tougher cause GSM is clearly better, but I'm not sure if I'll be travelling abroad anytime soon. I almost prefer a factory unlocked GSM version of the phone, but that costs big bucks for sure. Aha, that makes sense.

You wouldn't be able to run ScummVM games or watch AVI's @ that speed. Telus is CDMA, Rogers is GSM. 200mhz is killer though. You wouldn’t be able to run ScummVM games or watch AVI’s @ that speed.

Which provider has the CDMA version? I'd kinda prefer it to have WiFi, if possible. CDMA? Which provider has the CDMA version? I’d kinda prefer it to have WiFi, if possible.

They can give you a ticket number so the offer will be valid for a certain number of days; then go back to rogers and let them know what the compition is willing to do for you.
