WOW people would sign a 2yr contract to save $50 on a phone? <shakes head>
I think what happens is that a lot of people will sign a 2 year contract to get a "free phone", i.e. a $0. phone. And it doesn't matter if it is a low end model, as long as it is "free". I have friends who would "show off" as if they won a small prize (hey, it's free!).
The key is FREE. People have no concept for looking at a length of time.
Someone said "Free" and "All You Can Eat" are the best advertising slogan ever existed. [On a PBS documentary, talking about the shady credit card rates.]
Most people think when they buy something or paying for a service, everything should be free. Hey, if they sign a contract - they got a phone for free! Not a lot of people really think a purchase through and do their research.
As long as it doesnt cost them a dime, to them - they dont care if they sign a contract.
And then they get pissy when they realized the renewed again for another 2 years on top of their current contract. Some people just never learn.
i know what you mean.. this curve thing is also a good move from Fido.. I was serious about moving to WIND because of BOLD but now I'm shaky in my decision!
Well... you have up until March to renew your Fido agreement anyways!!!

HAHA Oh man, like WorldIRC said, daily people come into my store asking to sign a 2 year on a Nokia 2720 for example. We sell em for $70 no contract, or $0 on one. I tell them 'spend the $70 right now, you'll then be able to sign a contract down the line if you want'
PHONEMODO I swap phones cause I can! Isn't Hipstamatic just awesome?
will any of these on wind? (i'd obviously have to have it unlocked) i have $120 worth of fido dollars to burn before i close my fido account...
No phone sold by Bell/Telus/Rogers/Fido will work with Wind. Only phones that will work with Wind not sold by Wind would be T-Mobile USA 3G phones unlocked, and the Nokia N900.
Besides I think Wind are still not accepting non-Wind phones.
