Picked up a new iphone from Sherway Gardens yesterday... upgrading from a 1st gen ipod touch. Went with a 1 year Rogers plan, so I had to pay full price for the phone. So far so good though, everything seems to be working well, especially the app launch times... sweet!!

Are you saying you only had to sign up for a one year contract (as opposed to, say, alrady having a one-year contract and upgrading)? I thought the new iPhone 3GS required a three year contract, for voice and data. Plus, it's a 3GS and not 3G?
You paid full price on a 1yr contract? That's not right... full price would be the no contract price, 1yr contract will be slightly discounted.
Except... if it was an outright purchase, and somehow a one-year contract to go with it. Since the iPhone isn't available on a one-year contract at all. Waiting for OP to correct? And if if it was a one-year contract, what did they get for it? There should have been some discount on a handset.

Well I didn't feel like paying full price either but the Apple Store fellow was in contact with
Rogers for some time and thats what he came up with... We originally started with a month to month plan but Rogers put the kiebosh on that just before the T's were crossed.

The one year plan for an iPhone isn't rare, it's unheard of. Did you get this in writing? If you managed this, great. Of course, since it's likely you'll still be a customer in 3 years (and 5, maybe even 10), you missed out on a large discount. Make sure you get a discount on something if you stay on past the one year.

Hey However, I'm kind of funny that way. I'd rather pay large upfront than be tied to a long term commitment (having said that, I've been married for 29 years ) My thinking is; I'm just not sure where or how things will be, a year from now... one of my idiosyncrasies I guess.
I did get the contract in writing, but to be sure the package deals are not as good either on a 1 year deal.

Well you could think of it another way as well. You paid say $799 for the phone outright. You could have taken a 3 year contract on a 32g model for $299 and then the next day paid the ECF which is a maximun $400 which equals $699 and then not have a contract at all. That's $100 savings and no contract.

He didn't say he got data plan with it and even if he did it would only be $50 for the DECF in his case. He would be responsible for his current months invoice and then a 30 day notice. That would be 2 months off of his 12 month contract leaving 10 months remaining. DECF is a minumum of $25 or $5 a month to a maximum of $100 for a charge of $50 in his case. Oh yeah it's based off a 3 year contract. You're right it's $100. Must wake up.
