| Mind ordering me one as well? 8GB will do fine thanks volty  .
I can't afford $70+ per month for 3 years... that's too steep for a phone for me.  I only wish I could  .

I have no need for one. All I want from my phone is to have good signal and a good battery. |

i played with one for a bit...i have decided i don't like touch screens...i think as much of a hit as the iPhone is, the Blackberry Bold will be a better device.

said by renton  :I have no need for one. All I want from my phone is to have good signal and a good battery. Therein are my requirements for a cellphone in a nutshell. 
It's really just outrageous how I have to carry around this antique that I have with an ever-weakening battery (a nice big Li-ion, thankfully, so still pretty good) because there is no way you can get a new phone these days that's just a phone (i.e.- turn it on and talk into it). Christ, I don't want a camera, MP3 player, email appliance, web browser, GPS, dance partner, gaming console, personal valet, electric toothbrush, corkscrew, sewing machine, and personal vibrator all in one. I want a friggin' phone!!!

Tried.. Got a monthly plan at least, but they wanted COD for delivery so I'll have to wait until next week supposedly when they get more stock.

I saw on the news today that here in Ottawa, one Rogers store only had 42 in stock (whereas about 100+ lined up to buy one).
Way to live up to the hype, Ted!

| well, everyone did say they were NOT going to buy one because the plans were not unlimited, so they have no one to blame but themselves.

But since the $30/6gb plan came out, I think that's pretty reasonable, knowing Ted's stance on unlimited.

They're neat... but I can't bring myself to it...
a) I have a treo... and I like it.
b) I have a nokia n800 handheld computer... between the two I have no need for an iphone...
c) if I really felt the need, I'd just get an ipod touch.

said by dirtyjeffer :sure you can...in fact, Speakout Wireless is perfect for the casual user like yourself...basic phones, and cards that last one full year with no silly fees. » speakout7eleven.ca/ There's a difference between a "casual" user and a user of voice wireless services who a) doesn't want the hassle of a prepaid plan, b) sometimes requires U.S. roaming -- don't know if these basic prepaid things do that, c) sometimes requires the use of analog services in remote areas, and d) sometimes racks up a huge amount of airtime. I don't think I'd be well served by the 7-11 kind of plan which really seems geared more to the teenager who chats with the girlfriend.

Trust me, it's only a matter of time before it becomes impossible to get a phone without that feature, and it becomes even more difficult to figure out how to just place a phone call (do not press the wrong button in a crowded restaurant! ). And somehow I just know that Rogers will figure out a way to get a per-second billing windfall out of that feature!
