| Why buy from Rogers? What's the best way to buy? Please Login to Remove! Why buy from Rogers?
Should I buy an 8700 elsewhere and
just use Rogers for the service?
What's the best way to buy?
Is there an advantage using a particular vendor?
Thanks in advance for your advice and opinions

| Rogers is by far the cheapest. THey have onlince incentives that are secondto none. I ended up gettingthe 8700 last month for $300 as opposed to the $499 that you have to pay elsewhere.

Those are the prices from rogers website... But I am sure if you look around at a few dealers in your area you might be able to get it cheaper | Offline

| I'm not going to spend $500 to $550 of buying a 8700r and there's no solutions to unlock it so far. My concern is if I buy the unlock 8700c, am I be able to use the email web client access on Rogers? | Offline

The answer is yes as far as I know... But whats really the point of buying a unlocked blackberry unless you travel to other countries a lot? | Offline

| I got mine for $300 on a 3 year contract. That is after a $50 bill credit, a $100 cash rebate and a $50 american express gift cheque. Plus I got a special $100 future shop gift card.
Worked out to $300 for the 8700 PLUS i got a $100 to spend at future shop. I'd spend that anyway. SO it really worked out to only $200. That's canadian. i dont' think ANY dealer can beat that.

| I got ripped off by Robbers Wireless. I ended up selling my 8700r and buying an 8700c from a reseller here - great guy. BTW, used my unlocked 8700c in Brussels where I am this week on MobiStar. Cingular gave me my unlock code for $0, nada, zilchola.

I do not have access to PIN and email yet in Brussels as my company is just setting up my GPRS/EDGE account with MobiStar. All will be functional tomorrow once I connect to EDGE here. But since I am back in TO on Tuesday, all of my stuff on ROBBERS will work. Man I hate those bastards with their supposed unlimited plan which is capped. They should take a page out of their competitors outside of Canada.
