I prefer to stay with Telus, thinking about the blackberry pearl. A couple of my friends have it and it seems pretty good.

Will cost me $180 to cancel out of my contract if I want to get an Iphone or something. In canada, for the iphone, I have to go with Rogers.

Sorry I can't be of any real help. I wish I had a cool phone - I'm stuck with whatever my employer gives me.

I just got a samsung delve and it's pretty damn sweet. I'd imagine it's pretty similar to the iphone (with less space for music it seems) so it's cool like that.

Blackberry storm



I work for your current wireless provider. smile.gif In an effort to retain business I would second this recommendation.

Get the older Iphone and just unlock it (if your network is gsm)... That's what I did for T-Mobile.

If you can still get an older one at least.

Otherwise Blackberry is probably a good option.

TELUS doesn't use GSM. They currently use CDMA and are in the process of upgrading to HSPA.

How long is the iphone exclusive to Rogers? I would like to get one but with Rogers coverage is terrible where I live. With Telus I can go just about anywhere in BC and have service.

I'm getting a Crackberry Storm. I hear good stuff.

I ended up getting a blackberry curve today. Seems like a nice phone.

I just saved myself $400 by adding "Sent from iPhone (2.0)" to my email signature. Shake it like a Polaroid picture.

Great phones. I think I just fell in love with the Bold, but I have 2 curves (one personal one work) and they are fantastic.



Just a warning. Do not, under any circumstances, start to play the game on there called BrickBreaker. It will absolutely consume your life and leave you a wasted shell of what you once were. Trust me.

Worst advice ever. Best way to not have to do anything else for long periods of time.

Boss: "Why aren't you doing your work?"
You: "Can't you see I'm playing BrickBreaker on my new Blackberry?"
Boss: "Oh, shit. My bad. Sorry to bother you, as a matter of fact, how about a raise and more time off, to focus on honing your BrickBreaker skills?"

I play Brickbreaker probably a total of 2 hours a day total while at work, and that's only because I cut down because I've been busier.

The only good thing about it is that it looks like you're doing something. Like sending a really intense email.


a REALLY intense email.


The screaming of obscenities when you lose, however, is tough to explain.
