Looks like it's only on until August 29, but in case you were holding out because $200 was too much, maybe now you'll change your mind. Personally, I want to avoid being locked in for another 3 years, so I'm going to wait a bit longer. But otherwise seems like a great deal!
thats a pretty good deal. does anyone know if existing rogers customer can somehow use this? or is this only for new customers getting the phone through rogers at bestbuy?
I can't see why existing customers wouldn't be able to use this. The only part that sucks is having to pay the early upgrade fee if you're currently in a contract ($15/month until you've reached 30 months).
Even at 49$ i would never sign my soul with Rogers for 3 years.... In 3 years the Bold 10500 will be out and the 9900 will be almost history!
FYI: There's a law in Quebec that the max ETF a carrier can charge is equivalent to the phone subsidy pro-rated over the length of the contract.
In this case if you pay $49 for the phone (saving you $450 off the full retail price), you'd have to pay an ETF fee of $12.5 for each month left on your contract to break it.
