I don't want to get into the Iphone vs Droid vs BB fight again... My options are basically limited to a BB or a Iphone.

And last night I was reading, starting June 28th, you will not be able to keep your unlimited data when you upgrade your phone.
You can, if you pay the full price for the phone, but that's the only way.
And they're re-doing their family plans to this "share everything" crap.
I think it was $40 to share 1gig.
It was confusing as hell to read, and I couldn't help but think it's going to cost a lot more then it already does.
I may be switching when it comes time to upgrade my phone.

No matter who you switch to, there's no more unlimited data plans for new customers for new customers for any companies.

I might just pay full price for a phone if I were you and keep the unlimited data plan. You can always opt out later since you won't be tied to a contract.

I think Sprint still does...

NOOOO! Avoid Sprint at all cost! My wife has Sprint and I looked into it and they're network sucks ass! They are just starting to roll out their LTE 4G network this summer so if buy a LTE 4G phone from them it may take years before it becomes a real 4G phone. Unless you're in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio you're LTE phone is just a 3G device.

They're current 4G phones are supported by WIMAX which they are discontinuing in a couple of years which only tops out at 4-5 MBps. My 3G iPhone gets faster download speeds than Sprints current 4G offering. It won't be until 2015 until Sprints 4G LTE network is rolled out everywhere.

Sprints 3G service is the worst of all. Go to the Sprint forums and see what people are saying about they're they don't even get 1MBps download speeds.

I hear all companies are going to phase into the same thing within the next year also though.

When it comes down to it, Verizon still has the best network and the best 4G. That means a ton to me.

Shit that happens in Manitoba!!!!

http://www.globalwinnipeg.com/motorist+h...story.htmlThe lady of the SUV was 34 weeks pregnant, my friends fiancée was driving the semi truck that hit the SUV. He said he is very thankful she never died, only minor injuries and the baby is perfectly fine.

Video footage of the wreckage... that SUV is mangled.

The brochure was for the same company... We have to be careful what phone company we can go with. We only have Telus, Rogers and MTS... Rogers and Telus both have better selections but Telus charges .15 cents a text message and both have poor cell phone reception where I leave and most of the places I go like the farm or the beach.

What he said.

I am not really worried about data on my phone b/c I have a mifi that I can use for internet and wifi.

I think I have finally settled on the HTC Rezound, now I just need to go get it. I was going to wait for the at new Samsung, but I can't afford to drop over $500 on a phone. And I'll keep my BB as our emergency backup phone. Verizon has a deal for $50 off if bought online and I should get my 20% discount, too.

We recently upgraded Jim's phone, so I think that renewed the contract anyway.

$500? Really?
I wouldn't get a phone unless it has Android 4.0

It's $599 retail... Apparently I can get it for $200 afterall, but it is not eligible for the $50 off (bullshit) And I wouldn't get it until the middle of next month, so it would probably be buggy anyway.

I kind of get the feeling, when you drop your old phones in those boxes, they just ship them off to Canada.

i got white guy scientist problems

It was more of a flyer than anything. They are showing all the new phones they got but MTS is really bad for phones so it consisted of shitty phones flip phones, Iphones and Blackberry's.

So your only options is a shitty droid phone?

If you're within a few months of your contract ending, I'd suggest going through Amazon or something. They're a lot cheaper.
And I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it's been great. Any bugs they have, will be fixed with software updates.
