Let me explain the way it works. Rogers has been on a month promotion nation wide for the 8800. It started in February and is ending on the 28th of March, I believe, in Quebec city. If you are an eastern Canadian client, how would you feel if the west coast received the 8800 before the east coast and especially Quebec, had the official Snow day release. So when the event is over, you will have your BB 8800. It is that simple. No GPS problems etc, etc. This is Canadian politics. The big base is in the east. It has always been that way and will remain that way. I went to the snow day event in Vancouver. As an IT admin. the BB is just another toy. All the BB's are toys. If you take the first BB 957, which I am still using, it does what all your toys do today: deliver email effectively, that's it. If you want a camera that works, but a cheap digital and keep it in your pocket. Using the internet on a BB is like sucking a thick Stawberry shake through a small straw. At 100 dollars a month for 200mb; that $1200 dollars a years enough for part of a child's post secondary education. Let's get back to the old days. Buy one cell phone or if you need, i emphasize need, but a small BB plan and get on with it. The 8800 is $500 of toy. It does nothing my 957 can't do except listen to music and be used as a phone. I still have my V60 for that and for that matter many thousand of dollars in the black. When the V60 breaks down, i will buy another cell phone. i have had for almost three years.
