I dont have any data on my N95 unless the 7$ vision surfing plan counts.
it does count and theres a DECF of 100$ on it since its because of it that you got that discounted price at bestbuy.
Exemple :
(im gonna throw in random numbers)
Say the n95 :
Non contract price : 499
3 year term price : 399
3 year term price with vision (DATA EARLY CANCELLATION FEE) : 299
The third option is what you took and thats why you got that 100 dollars off the phone (prices are not real ones im just throwing numbers).

In that case i would advise doing like me and switching ur n95 7$ data plan to a 30/300mb.
So I should just call them, ask them to change my 7$ surfing plan to 300 megabyte plan, and than the next day I can ECF the plan for 400$?
you could do that if you deal with a nice CSR that wont put a DECF on ur 30/300 just because you had one on your 7$ plan. That is exactly what i did and i got lucky enough to have the CSR put me month to month for the 30/300 and not charge me for removing the 7$ one.
Therefore i have the choice to cancel either plan on friday depending on what i wanna do for 400 each and not 400 and 500.
Spat with Rogers leaves Canadian Apple stores without iPhones

Apple, disgusted with Rogers Wireless for dumping egregious service plans on would-be iPhone 3G buyers, has decided that its Canadian retail stores will have no part in helping the carrier market the new handset to customers, AppleInsider has learned.
As a result, Canadian Apple Retail stores won't be selling the new 3G touchscreen phones come Friday, representatives for the Cupertino-based company said during a private conference call on Monday evening. Instead, it will be up to Rogers and its partner Fido to lock subscribers into steep 3-year contracts that require a minimum monthly payment of $60 for just 150 minutes, 75 text messages, and 400MB of data.
Calls to Canadian Apple retail stores early Tuesday confirmed the move once over. Although the majority of the of stores contacted by AppleInsider said they were still unsure whether they'd be selling the new iPhone, one representative ultimately confirmed that Rogers and its partner stores will be the only place to buy iPhone 3G come Friday. Canadian Apple retail stores will, however, have demo units on hand the same day.
Asked whether the decision not to sell the iPhone was a result of Rogers' poor service offerings, the representative would only say that: "We have nothing to do with the service plans. Those are Rogers' plans."
Word of Apple's abandonment of in-store sales comes just days after the company was reported to have sanctioned Rogers by diverting a significant amount of Canada's iPhone 3G shipments to Europe as initial retribution. As a result, the Canadian carrier will likely receive only about 10 to 20 units per store, and therefore should "exercise caution" not to promise ample stock on launch day, people familiar with the matter have said.
Apple's knee-jerk reaction is believed to have been further stimulated by public outrage on the part of Canadian consumers following the release of the local pricing plans. Always concerned with its image, the iPhone maker has watched nearly 50,000 of its loyal customers sign an anti-Rogers petition at ruinediphone.com, which has in turn sparked hundreds of potentially damaging reports on the matter by bloggers and members of the mainstream media.
For its part, Rogers in official statements has attempted to justify the cost of its service and data plans by arguing that the "majority" of international iPhone carriers have capped data. As such, a spokesperson said Rogers believes its plans to be better than those of Orange France, for example, which include a 500MB 'reasonable use' limit versus the 2GB maximum on the top-tier Canadian iPhone plan that fetches $115 per month.
"Unlimited plans could end up costing customers more for what they don't use," the spokesperson said. "Our iPhone plans more than accommodate the vast majority of customers."

The BS quotient seems rather high with this article.
That blows! There are tons of wifi spots downtown and I frequent starbucks too...It sucks that I won't be able to use the Hotspots to save data bucket.

If you dont get an iphone plan You'll still be able to use wifi. If you want to use a robbers or fido one you need an account to login to.. so you will need to pay for it if you are not on an iphone plan. There maybe other free public hotspots you can use downtown.
Did you confirm with the CSR that you wont get charged the 100$? How can I check?
just ask politely lol and you cant check you have to take the CSR's word for it. Only way to know for sure is to check ur next bill for a 100 DECF or being told 500 instead of 400 when u wanna cancel

Anyway I'll try but basically if I do pay 500, and than get the iPhone for 300 and sell my n95 for 450, I still only spent about 350$
but you could be paying 250 and spend that extra 100 on accessories for ur iphone.
Plus you wont be paying 300 unless you want the 8gig one (199+35 activation+tax)
