      I would like the Motorola RAZR. Combination of good speed, great build quality, nice (but not the best) screen quality), and I like the thinness and that it isn`t all plastci

      The RAZR is the phone for me, it's definitely a winner. From the reviews I've read, its very fast and responsive with a great screen. I also like its style. The RAZR could be the start of something new putting Motorola in the race to be the best of the best. As a rogers customer for 10 years I'm currently looking for an upgrade to my BB in a couple of months and I hope this is it.

      Thanks,
      Jeff

      I would be ever so grateful to win the Apple Iphone 4s Black. I am a stay at home mom, do a lot of charity work- never realized that I myself am a charity case. Back in the days I had the installed car phone made by Novatel, only used it for emergencies but all the while still paying whopping $300 bills. Later I moved up in the world, and became the proud owner of the Motorola brick phone that could've been used as a weapon along with it's heavy artilirary 5 block battery set which took a day to charge only to last 5 minutes max during a call. All my friends thought I was the coolest in the late 90's when I wore a Motorola flip phone on my hip and worked for Roger's Incoming Call Centre. That was cutting edge technology and boy was I the cat's meow. Today, funny how things change, I am no longer the coolest mom - every other girl, mother and grandmother have their hands on some credit card sized phone. I am hoping to get my hands on an Apple Iphone so that I can communicate with my children on their ipods. Face time who would have ever thought that was possible with a cellular phone? God bless the engineers!! And thank you for this wonderful gesture!!

      Ted Rogers is my answer (along with everyone else's!) and would love an Iphone4s black (I myself am not an Apple fanboy - not that that is something to be ashamed of! Ha!) but would love one for my dad who happens to be an avid user of an Iphone 3 and is in dire need of an upgrade that neither he nor I can afford! He could use it to FaceTime with my siblings in Australia and in the States and to play his word games all the time! Because which 60 year old doesn't like playing Words With Friends?

      Answer is #1 Ted Rogers

      My wish is to get an iPhone 4S (white) since reading your reviews of all these devices it appears that this device is worth the investment. Plus I spent a considerable amount getting my wife a reliable phone, my 5 year old Nokia is losing steam and I can hardly get it to send out an email now... I'm saving... but definitely not a priority but soon a necessity...

      Thanks for the contest :-)

      Answer: (1) Ted Rogers

      I wish to get an iPhone 4S(Black) for my wife for the following reasons:

      1) February 2011 - I lost my wife's Blackberry in Trinidad. To busy dancing and drinking not to notice the missing phone. Since the phone is an extension of her, you could imagine the expletives flyiing out of her mouth then the unwelcoming silence - and cold stares - pretty much for the entire stay. If it wasn't for the kids, I'm sure she would have left me. LOL!!......(pause).....that's not funny?!?!?

      2) She had an eye on the phone for awhile. She spoke to Rogers last week and said it will take approx. 3 months for her to get. So this would be a great surprise.

      Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G for me! Please put me out of my misery, my Sony Xperia X1 is barely functional any more, my phone is basically on life-support and I think that it's time to pull the plug for good. Give a struggling student a new hope and a new phone!

      I'm sure Rogers founder, Ted Rogers, would agree with me.

      Answer: 1- Ted Rogers
      My wife broke her iPhone 3Gs and she is interested in an android phone. Thought I would gift her a new phone. The Motorola RAZR looks nice.

      Rogers Communications was named after Ted Rogers.

      My choice of phone if I win Howard would be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and if my daughter had her say it would be an iPhone 4S in Black, she just loves apple while I am a huge BlackBerry and Android Fan.

      wish us luck I hope these daily comments are in our favour to win Howard.

      Happy New year
