I couldn't live without my crackberry, that is for sure :D
I have been with Rogers for several years now and have had no complaints about their celluar service or packages. |

After towing the CDMA line for some time and preaching the gospel of Bell Mobility - I think I may have finally given in and realized that GPRS/EDGE is the way to go.
Perhaps it's Bell's/Telus's lack of market leadership in rolling out innovative devices and features that has led me to this position - however I can now honestly say that none of the CDMA providers inspire me with their service/offerings.
After playing with (not purchasing) a Nokia 3220 (http://82.208.4.102/kasaimg/foto/fo...hite-blue_0.jpg) for the last few days - Rogers is the way to go (IMO). Awesome handsets, uber-features and relatively competative pricing plans will make Rogers my next choice in service provider (unless Bell somehow re-invents the wheel, which I doubt).
After being a high-usage ($3k+ per annum) corporate Bell Mobility customer for 7 years this is a bit an epiphanal moment. ;) |

Yeah, Canada definitely need some foreign competitors!
Would probably solve some of these problems:
-Coverage is pretty crappy unless you are in cities, but even in stratford i have bad reception, and that is still 30 000 ppl so there should be good reception there imo.
-Paying for incomming calls sucks sooo badly, i mean, why should i pay for someone else calling me, that is just wrong!
-Canada currently have no 3G network.
-Expireing minutes @ pay as you go suck (perhaps its the same thing if you have a plan?)
Im done for now :D |

I have had no reception problems with my red Bell Nokia - and it even works on P2 parking in my office parking garage.
Bell's reception isn't an issue for me. Bell just isn't a good option for the early-adopter set - which is why I'm now disinterested in Bell. |

| I added VOIP (which included WVOIP) to the topics of discussion. |

btw bigUPS to the peeps over at howardforums.com for helping push thru LNP in Canada. Those guys have been advocating it for a while and managed to mobilize a large number of their users to continuously write to their MPs which definately imho helped to swap government opinion on this issue.
