What if I have a BBerry on Rogers with Voice and Data. Could I not just get the iPhone and then switch out the SIM Cards?
I called and asked them as I have a BB; was told I would have to buy the iPhone at full price (whatever that will be). The other thing to note is that BB data and iPhone data are 2 different things and are not interchangeable. You could switch your SIM but you will only be able to use "phone" features. No email or internet.
The plan costs are similar in cost to what I pay now. I pay $85 for 4MB, 500 minutes and unlimited after 6pm and weekends with 1000 long distance minutes. My bill will stay pretty much the same but will get WAY MORE data!
I still want to know what they will charge for the phone without a contract...I also want to know how this will work.
$25 - 150 weekday minutes, unlimited 6pm evenings & weekends.
$15 - unlimited e-mail and IM
$15 - unlimited data (note: excluding tethering, streaming (no YouTube), and VoIP (no Skype) so really I only use 80MB because of those restrictions)
$15 - unlimited text messaging, voicemail, call display
Price including SAF, E-911, taxes = $87.02
Rogers....
$60 - 150 minutes, unlimited evenings and weekends, 400MB of data I can use ANY WAY I want, voicemail.
$20 - virtually unlimited text messaging, call display, early evenings.
Price including SAF, E-911, taxes = $98.22
My cell phone bills have always averaged $120 a month so this is really no shocker to me. Those of you used to paying $40/mo for the absolute cheapest plan because you really don't use your cell phone that much... yea I would understand why you're shocked by all this. Just get an iPod Touch...
iPhone 3G for me!!!

Are you backed up??? If so, why? Psyllium Fibre is not free but will do wonders!
iPhones will probably only be sold with a 3 year contract, remember this also doesn't elude to how much they're charging you for the phone as well. Get ready to bend over.
better bring this with you

disappointing. I thought Steve Jobs made sure all carriers would make available a unlimited data plan as a requirement.
Is all hope lost? Or is it possible FIDO will come out with an unlimited data plan?
Fido plan is there too, and it mirrors Rogers. Apple has no say Rogers is the only game in town, unless Apple releases a CDMA phone, it's basically Roger or Rogers(Fido).
