In Canadian terms this phone is a pretty good option. For me personally Iphone would cost $100-200 more plus, not that I think Bell has great service, the plans and extras cost less comparing to Rogers. But yes, I agree the wireless market is in very bad shape comparing to most other countries. Cynthia, be realistic. In Canadian terms this phone is a pretty good option.

Yes, I'm having certain probs with the email as my yahoo account can be accessed only through the web mobile for free but no notification or through the MSN/email application which is ~$10/mnth (don't have it and have no intention to pay for it so far). There's an option at yahoo as forwarding (btw, all default emailing is going by Bell's email account ex. 'you phone number'@txt.bell.ca) which didn't work already at confirmation step because of truncation. It is just very sad that Bell couldn't provide a convenient way of using emails while the device is totally capable.
