Alternatives? Isn't that the whole problem? THERE AREN'T ANY ALTERNATIVES. Telus and Bell are just as big of crooks as Rogers. That's Canada's problem! There are only 3 cell phone companies in this friggen country! (Fido and Koodoo don't count, both own by Rogers and Telus respectively).
As far as the iphone goes, there aren't any comparable alternatives (maybe the instinct, but it ain't the same. Not even close. That's why the iphone is so awesome. That's also why this is such a big deal... I mean... this website is STILL about getting better price plans for the IPHONE isn't it?
