3 year contracts? Wow Great North. How do you guys put up with that?

Exactly, I thought that two years was bad enough in the states but there's no way I'd put up with a three year contract unless pretty much every handset was free with bonus stuff added in.

Still wondering why there was never any mention of US Cellular's release.

Why would you want to tie down to ANY network for 3 years of your life?
Somebody explain this for me please...

Absurd, I know. It will change soon. Wind offers no contracts, and is the only competitor that is able to change this fucked up cellular system, on which rogers, bell, and telus strive on.

Why we put up with 3 yrs? It's a Canadian Heritage!

Up here, there's a total lack of any real competition like you guys have in the US. We're at the mercy of these painful 3-year contracts. Brutal. Someone mentioned Wind, a new carrier coming to Canada, but their prices are not really any better and you have to buy the phone un-subsidized. Kids these days won't be able to drop $500 on a new phone when they could get one for $49. The fact that it's a three year contract and will cost them more in the long run doesn't seem to phase them. They want a phone now.

It really sucks up here as far as pricing and plans. Bah.

Actually their price plans looked pretty awesome... but for now I wouldn't buy one of their phones unless you live in Calgary, Vancouver or Toronto since out of your "home zone" you would be charged long distance... As for their phones still being expensive, just as an example the Bold 9700 from Wind is $450 and to get the same phone contract-free from Telus or Bell is $650. I'd say that's a decent savings... besides, if you want to stay Telus or Bell, you could always buy it from Wind, unlock it for 10 bucks and use it on your current carrier.

Guess that wouldn't be such a good idea as you would only get 2G. No wonder there's no phones on WIND yet, they're using a spectrum that nobody else uses.

i wouldnt pay that for it. them things are made so cheap its crazy. Dont get me wrong there nice but just not a solid phone

Anyone hear anything at all about when Telus gets this? I assumed it would be at the same time... but nothing yet. I manage my company's cellular accounts and am looking to buy around 30 of these to replace 8703's... but we're with Telus. Since when do Bell and Telus not get something the exact same day?
