This would be great if it was true. And in fact, I was assured it was the case 2 years ago when I switched to rogers, but now that my 2 years is up, Rogers has changed their mind. As for monthly minimum, I pay about $350 a month to them, and they just informed me I now have to wait for 2.5 years. Apparently they can change the rules as they see fit, and with no consequence. In my opinion, avoid Rogers like the plague.

I recently wanted to upgrade my current smart phone after being with them for 2 years. They told in order to do so and receive a smart phone, I would mandatorily need to subscribe to a data plan at 25$ a month for the next 3 years. Otherwise, they could not process this order. This sucks as I have WIFI everywhere I go and I don’t need this service.

I don't think anyone will ever be happy with their current android phones,as there is always a new one about to be released. As long as they can make them upgradeable to the new firmware i think i could settle for that. Magic/Mytouch are good fun phones to have, i'm hoping rogers at least inquires about getting the htc legend. there is also talk of the iphone 4g around june in the u.s.

2 years is too long to wait for a smartphone upgrade.

I don't think HTC suckered Rogers into old stock persay... if you recall, there were no other Androids phones out in the US Market except for the G1 -- which HTC had to re-manufacture to accommodate the Rogers frequencies.

Canadians actually got the HTC Magic (with better RAM or ROM) before US got the HTC MyTouch.

Sadly, Canada in general just gets old phones the majority of the time, from every manufacturer.

And while I'm not trying to defend Rogers, there is no way (in the current technological climate) to WAIT for a top notch phone. Everything is outdated even before it leaves the factory. Remember, the G1 is barely older than a year!!

Even the Nexus One with the "new" Snapdragon chip looks slow in comparison to the LG GW990 which has an Intel Atom chip in it.

Sigh... I want a new phone.
