Yep, a whole penny. I'm currently with Virgin Mobile Canada with 6 months left on my contract. I'm using a BB Pearl (the old 8130 model)
Rogers has a few "still pretty hot" devices for $0.01 on a 3yr contract. the one that I was eyeballing was the Evo 3D. I don't need the 3D feature, personally I think its a bit of a gimmic, but even so it seems that the rest of the device is still pretty awesome, and for a penny I thought it was a great deal.
Data/voice package is comparable to what I currently have, within a couple bucks/month. Rogers seems to have really got their prices more in line with the competition (they used to be the most expensive carrier to go with, and still are based on handset price ONLY)
So what say the Android Professionals? Grab the Evo 3D for a penny? or wait out my contract with Virgin, hope I don't throw my pearl through the window in frustration, and see what devices are available in 6 months? I realize 3 years is a long contract... and I also realize that new newest/bestest/fastest/amazing-est device is ALWAYS just around the corner - that's just the nature of electronics.
And as far as cancellation fees, I can either cancel out and pay off the ETF, or chop my plan down to the bare minimum ($15/month). Either way that part will cost about the same, assuming I take the leap now rather then wait.
I'm so sick of my pearl. Virgin MIGHT have their HSPA ready by "winter" of this year. But its then HSPA or nothing. -- you go outside of a coverage area and you loose all signal, data and voice. At least with Rogers I've got 3G then EDGE before dropping signal.
Pros and Cons either way. So what does the AC community think? (Rogers has really thrown out some good deals this summer... I've been keeping an eye on them, considering taking the leap)
