do you have to sign up for 3 years contract with AT&T?

I didn't think so. stop complaining]]>Jul 29th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/

but you guys have the option to upgrade after 1 year.
Rogers had this but last time I checked, they no longer have this (except iphone maybe). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Telus only lets u upgrade after a year and for only $150 less than regular price (which means Droid is $400). Full upgrade possible after 2 1/2 years. Not sure about Bell.

So you would rather spend the amount of a low end laptop for the "freedom"?

I wouldn't call that a freedom. A cell phone should not cost as much as a laptop. I mean gimme a break ipod touch is 200? You can't tell me that adding phone function to it costs $400 dollars!

Either make the unlocked cell phones cheaper or make the contract shorter. ]]>Jul 29th 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/
How often do you switch carriers? Is three years REALLY that big a deal?
It's not like Bell or Telus are priced completely different, so where would you go even if you weren't tied to a contract? ]]>Jul 29th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/Amen to that. I never get this whole overpricing thing. But they do get away with it anyways. A phone that costs $200 to make ends up being sold for almost $1000 unlocked.

I know, this is a total reversal from the iPhone's original release. Remember the kerfuffle that ensued when Canada was trying to limit iPhone data? Suddenly their limited plan offers more bandwidth than my unlimited plan -- and I only have that cause I'm grandfathered.

I liked it better when we were pitying Canada and their backwards Telcos.

Exactly. People complain about contract lengths like they change carriers every 6 months. I've been with Rogers wireless for over 10 years now. So while I would rather not have a 3 year contract, it's really not a big deal. And if I need to get out, the cancellation fee maxes out at $400.]]>Jul 30th 2010 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/Jul 29th 2010 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/Jul 29th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/Jul 29th 2010 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/Jul 29th 2010 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/canadian-iphone-4-launch-details-emerge-rogers-offers-6gb-for/ agree to three years with the option to upgrade every year a varying discount price and have a vastly cheaper plan while paying less upfront to boot or pay out the ass for a more expensive phone with no hope of upgrading during contract.

You have to go on a three year contract in order to get this pricing? You couldn't buy an iPhone off contract through Apple or through the carrier and then get the $30/month for 6GB?

Pretty sad that gouging carriers and their complicit, gouging, device-manufacturing co-conspirators think they can get away with charging you an extra $20 for something you're already paying $30 to get.
