This offer has nothing to do with bowing to consumer pressure and everything to do with ensuring Rogers actually sells phones in their initial launch period. It's like offering a soother to pacify a crying baby. If they can just pacify us, we'll all rush out and buy phones during the limited time offer and the launch will be a success (perhaps even more successful than they hope because everyone wants that limited time offer). A boycott is definately still necessary. They need to get the message that a pacifier isn't going to redeem the situation. We demand a REAL solution.

Oh and as for the evenings start at 9:00 pm... Seems to me that general courtesy dictates that unless you really know the person well, you shouldn't call after 10:00 pm anyway, so what is the point of unlimited calling for one whole hour? It's just another gimick to make the uninformed users think they are getting a deal.

Has anyone seen this!!!

I found the last line the best!!!  so this is just a smoke screen then....

CONFUSION. That is the name of this game indeed. Whether anything is a good deal or not it seems to be more up to haggling in old-school market ways than transparent, clear plans where you know what you get and how much you will pay.
