That's an interesting price disparity between the 2-year and 3-year contracts.

That's Canadian carriers for you. They give you the discount if you sign away your life for 3 years, but if you want the option of less binding - they gouge you to almost full price, knocking usually off a maybe 50-100 dollars.

Want a phone on only one years? You're looking at like full retail or 50 dollars off.

Example:

Rogers Wireless, Bold 9700

3 Year Contract: $149.99
2 Year Contract: $449.00
1 Year Contract: $499.00
Monthly: $499.00

Retail price of the phone? .. $499.00 O_o

Well, it depends on what she needs. If she's looking for a high-end web/video browser this isn't for her. But if she needs a zippy, compact messaging device it definitely fits the bill.

I'm still waiting for att to get it. I went thru the same thing when the 9700 came out. And judging by the order it will still be like a month til I can get one.

Someone's selling them on eBay already unlocked.

Why wouldn't you just spend the extra money and buy a Bold 9700. Like really? Ugh.

Mainly this phone is for the die hard pearl 8xxx users who have been hopelessly adapted to sure type such as myself. I had a bold and simply could not use the keyboard, also it's a matter of portability the pearl passes the pocket test with flying colors and has amazing battery life. However the unavailability of this phone is getting absurd.
