BlackBerry Curve 8520 now on Rogers

You know what's screwed up? A CAD $99.99 (about $95) BlackBerry Curve 8520 -- you know, the cheap one -- being sold on the same carrier at the same time as CAD $79.99 (about $76) Dreams and Magics. Doesn't that seem a little out of whack? Not to mention the fact that Rogers is looking for three-year contracts all around here, and with all due respect to the 8520, the thought of committing to it for anything even close to the next 36 months sends shivers down our spines. The latest BlackBerry (and the first with a touchpad in place of a trackball) is yet to go live on Rogers' site, but apparently you can go ahead and pick one up this very second if you're so inclined -- just be sure to bring cash and your best contract signin' pen.

All i got to say is 3 years contract without data the phone costs 350$... But you can get it for the same price without a contract online

Wow... a little slow???

This has been Rogers for a while now, almost since the beginning of October.

All three of the big carriers (Rogers, Telus, Bell) like to get you to sign a 3 year contract. Many phones are $600 or so if you don't want to sign a contract. I've went with three year contracts with Telus in the past and Rogers currently - though at this very moment, I have a contract with Telus and Rogers.
