Oh, I wasn't implying that you actually had to have a prior contract on a handset to activate it with Rogers. I was just trying to say that if you wandered in and told them outright that you bought a TMobile (or insert other provider here) phone and wanted to activate it on their network it's been my experience that they'll tell you to go take a leap. CDMA networks are even worse because the lack of SIM makes the actual handset identifiable and linkable to a provider. Bell and Telus both have policies in place that they will not activate each other's handsets. Whether that policy extends to not activating *anyone's* handsets but their own, I don't know. > I want an open phone but need one that meets certain criteria for it to be > usable for me.

I use about 120MB of data each month on email alone on my Treo. Anything without a keyboard isn't going to work for me.
