No but my BIL works for BlackBerry, I already texted him for a price on the Z10
And if i don't get it within 60 days I'll just buy a cheapo phone to wait it out. (shudder) |

i don't think your Rogers phone will work with them...doesn't Wind use AWS? It should work if unlocked, as long as it isn't an Apple phone. The iPhone's won't work because Apple uses a cheap radio. Although the new iPhone 5s (or 6) should work when they come out. (Thanks to T-Mobile and Rogers for buying AWS spectrum) |

We'll see, he could get a playbook for $100 bucks when they were being dumped for 200+ |

I changed from Rogers to Wind and have not looked back. This was my plan under Rogers:
250 daytime minutes a month
free weekends and evenings (after 8:00pm)
Toll/long distance charge if calling from outside the GTA (even to another Rogers phone)
500 pathetic MB's a month
$6 for call ID extra
NO text messages $72 dollars
My actual plan with WIND:
Unlimited minutes calling anytime, to any phone
Unlimited text/video messaging
Unlimited DATA
Unlimited text messages
Canada-wide calling
Free ID call
Free call waiting
Free call forwarding $37/month taxes included
Data is only about 10% slower on WIND than on Rogers, whooopeee dooo, WIND has its own signal in 95% of the places where I go and work. I brought all my friends and wife to Wind. |

Apple uses a cheaper radio to prevent users from bailing on their provider half-way into their contract. Apple is the only company that does that. I have an iPhone 4 and believe me, they're not world phones. Not only that, they're very hard to unlock, since Apple has to do it and it has to be done through iTunes. If Apple wanted to put in a better radio, they could have, and likely will on their next device. |

i thought they were dumping playbooks for $100 at stores during some sale too, weren't they? also, the playbook scenario isn't an example i would gauge it on, considering that price was artificially low because no one would buy them (as you said, they were dumping them). |

well, i thought there were around that price for anyone (not just employees)...as i said, i would use the playbook example as a guide...unless of course sales of the Z10 are anything like the playbook (which i doubt). |

Looks like the Z10 is doing okay, sales wise, so no dumping. Elwood might be able to grab one for $300-$400 from his BIL. Rogers has them for $599 contract-free, so my guess that will be the price minus BB employee discount of $200, maybe $300. My buddy works there so I'll ask him. |

He said employee deals aren't setup yet, i think they want to launch the US before offering it to employees |

NO text messages $72 dollars I get 1000 minutes, unlimited evenings/weekends at 6, unlimited incoming, unlimited R2R, unlimited text, free North American LD, voicemail, call display, VVM (which I never use) and 3GB of data for the same price on Rogers. It'd be $10/month more for 6GB. You are either talking to the wrong person, or you're acting like a prick to the ones you do. |
