If I lived in Canada, and was a BlackBerry kinda guy, I would easily take $549 over $249 and be stuck for three years. Three-year contracts sound absurd to me.
If AT&T releases the 9900 at $550 I'll likely buy it outright. Something tells me it will be more expensive at AT&T though, whenever it finally comes out.
Love it. I thought it was going to be $649. Not sure why people would pay $250+tax and be stuck for 3 years. Contracts are fine for something, say, the iPhone, which retails for like $700.
So conflicted now.
I was set on finally renewing my contract.
But at $249.99 for a 3 year commitment; the phone itself is only $549.99!
Not much incentive to sign away 3 more years of my life.
Especially when the HTC EVO 3D or whatever is only $149.99!
All of the Rogers Bolds will come with the carrier name at the bottom of the phone, right?? I am currently with Wind mobile but plan to make the switch to Rogers once the new phones roll out. What's the quickest way to get rid of the carrier print without damaging the external appearance of the phone?? Also does anyone know if these phones will be available unbranded at places like wireless wave and such?? Thanks ahead for the replies.

The lads tell me fingernail polish remover. Could have knocked me over with a feather. I imagine new parts will be on eBay soon enough if it gets screwed up a bit.
As far as unlocking goes, there's word around that it's easy and cheap. Would the newer OS cause a potential problem with that though?
