my company pays my plan, and they use Rogers. no complaints.
they wanted to give me a basic model, so I just paid the extra $75 to get the pearl.

I recently went from Telus to Rogers. Telus provided my company with unlimited data and a good voice plan for about $95 per month. Rogers has a 200 MB data plan and 200 weekday minutes for $110. I use emails and attachments regularly so we shall see.

Rogers free Motorola and PAYG lasted 7 years then I got seduced by smart phones. I had to get one device to replace my cell, PDA and voice recorder (all essential) plus my camera, so I signed up for a Sony Ericsson w810.
I took the 3 year Mega plan to get the lowest price and cheapest rate. (I surf and message on my PC).
1 day after signing up with Rogers I learned that music dominated the k810 like the Walkman key dominated its keypad. I exchanged it for the k790.
Before the end of the 30-day exchange period I accepted that the k790 wasn't an Outlook PDA and its keypad was not for fumbling fingers. I exchanged it for the Pearl.
That wore out my welcome with the Rogers dealer. A $50 one month trial would have helped.
I hoped I might manage the Pearls midget keys with a stylus like my old credit card PDA. Wasn't necessary, I can do everything with the trackball and I could use that less if I shrunk my address book and could make voice dial work (6 months later I still get "No match found").
Only problem is my shaky hands can't take a decent photo with the Pearls primitive camera. I wish RIM would add image stabilization and/or best pic and allow rotation like the k790.

Im with rogers because of GSM.... wishing Canada had more options for GSM so that the prices would be more resonable for data useage.
I was reading about the 3 major wireless supliers trying to block out new companys so they can keep theyre prices so high... it would be nice if there was change here but... sounds like its years away if it ever does happen

Been with Rogers since my first big brick (walkie-talkie) style cellphone; didn't have an overwhelming reason to move.

My story is a little complicated, and stupid.
Upgraded my Bell phone to the RAZR-like samsung about 2 months ago, then got pissed off an smashed the screen on it. Emailed bell to see if they could do anything for me (since i've been with them for about 8 yrs, and my company seperately uses them with approx. 20 cell phones) but just got stonewalled - "well, you don't qualify for a free upgrade because ..." blah blah..
now, i used to be with rogers about 10 years ago, but dropped 'em 'cause their service was no hell in more remote communities e.g. northern ontario & quebec, rural areas, etc. nowadays, however, i'm mainly confined to the toronto-montreal corridor so service is no longer an issue. add to that the global compatability of GSM and the goddamn convenience of freakin SIM cards (nothing more fun than transferring your entire phonebook to a new phone) and rogers had me sold. besides, i'd considered upgrading to a blackberry and shopped around; even paying the contract penalty to bell, i made up for it with the 3 yr -eek- contract with rogers (saved about 100 bucks).
gotta be careful with the data plans though.. i live in a town that the internet forgot (dial-up hell), so here i go, poking around the net at excruciatingly slow speeds, searching for this rumored "use blackberry as a tethered modem" option - the holy grail of my online existence. needless to say i got it working and started playing around, connected at an astonishing (in my book) 115 kbps. about 40 megs of downloaded files later i realized that maybe i should upgrade my bundle to include unlimited data since the 0.5 mb in my current package probably wasn't gonna cut it and my bill would likely be around 500 bucks.. of course, NO UNLIMITED DATA PLANS EXIST!! so i'm stuck paying 100 bucks for 200 MB plus a decent amount of voice time. there goes my savings.
overall though, the plan is worth it to someone in my position. i'm still messing around with the email settings (can't get em to come through since i changed the data plan), and the file management takes getting used to, but i still say it's the coolest piece of technology i've ever had the displeasure of figuring out.

Went with Rogers because we've never had a Roger's tech take a 3 hour nap in our server room or go out for a 2 hour liquid lunch you could smell from a half block away.
Went with the 8300 because the keyboard is so much better than the one on the 8800.
Tried typing on the 950 yesterday too: I have no idea how I managed to type on that: those keys are so far apart!!
And what is with these complaints about increased data usage with new devices? I've been using EDGE enabled BBerries for over a year and have yet to break the 25MB barrier.
What are you people doing!?!
