Rogers or Bell?
So heres the deal: I am buying a Blackberry for next year and I was wondering which carrier I should choose. What are some good and bad things you know about each, and which would you recommend for Hamilton area.
Thanks a bunch  |

I haven't used Bell for a very long time, but I find Rogers has decent plans, and great coverage. That being said, I prefer Fido, even though it's owned by Rogers and it's easier to get a better phone with Rogers (IMexperience)

They only carry one, but for the time being, it's the best BlackBerry available

Don't go with bell, their customer service is so awful. If something goes wrong, don't expect anyone to help you quickly.

I actually have had pretty good experiences with bell so far. I guess it depends on your luck 
and bell does offer earlier evenings and weeknds (starting at 6) compared to rogers (9pm). |

Yeah I was looking more towards Bell right now. They are now introducing SIM cards which is an added bonus.

Go with Koodo! They have Blackberry now..and you aren't locked into any contract. I've been with Koodo now for awhile and I plan on upgrading to a Blackberry when school starts.

Yep, Koodo is pretty cheap. I loved it when i was with them. However if you text message a lot it can get annoying. A lot of times my texts end up coming really late. |

Bell has bad customer service. Telus has bad coverage in this area. Avoid both.
If I was to pick the least evil of the 3 main blackberry providers, I'd pick Rogers.
If you live in the GTA/Hamilton, get the blackberry from Wind.

I've been with Bell for like 4 years now, and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with them.
Some of my friends are with Rogers, and have had quite a few problems, unfortunately.
In my opinion, I wouldn't go with Koodo or Wind only because they are such new mobile phone companies, it's hard to actually trust them.. while with Bell, or even Rogers, they've been around for so long... and there has to be a good reason for it.

Telus is amazing, no issues at all for almost 3 years now.
