Rogers changes hardware upgrade eligibility to ... 3 months !

Yes you are eligible, I upgraded to a Blackberry almost 3 months ago to the day and just ordered an iPhone.

I had to pay like 300 or something to get the 8 gig, is it worth it to complain?

will i be able to get the upgrade even if I don't want a data plan?

You want a data plan.

But if you really don't want a data plan, yes; it's been answered before, just not in this thread, so I guess it's a valid question.

Yes, unless they moved October on the calendar.

As an aside, most people can find this out readily by logging in to their Rogers account online and clicking on "Upgrade my phone."

most of the time, i'm around wifi... only time i'm not is when i'm on the road, so i wanted to see how it'll be without one first.

I thought I could do that too so I got it without the data plan. But really, on the bus ride to work and such, it was too tempting to surf the net and what not. 2 days later I got the data plan.

I checked my upgrade status online at rogers.com. It said I was not eligible until May 2009. Spoke with a CSR - He said Aug 28th 2008. I pointed out that I signed up on May 9, 08. He double checked and said to call back tomorrow,
My point... I don't think the online info for people's accounts reflects the new 3 month policy. It's best to call a CSR and have your paperwork on hand when you call.
