I'm pretty new to cell phones and cell phone plans. I'm probably the last person on Earth to get a phone, but I'm going off to university so I figured that it's about time. One of the sales associates told me that the Telus Student Plan is going to be released soon, so I'm hesitant to sign up for the Voice and Messaging 35/Blackberry plan. They look like pretty good deals, especially since I need a plan that will allow me unlimited nation-wide talk of some kind (whether it's through favorite 5/10 or something else). I figure that I'm not going to use my phone for much more than texting and calling my parents/friends, and while a data plan sounds nice, I'm not sure how necessary it is.
Has anyone used Telus' past student plans, or can anticipate what this year's plan is going to be? Should I just stick with the promo right now, or wait? What I'm afraid of is that this promo will be over by the time the student plan arrives, and the student plan will be beyond my means. I'd also like a decent phone, a smart phone like a HTC or like that unattainable white Sony Ericsson or even a Blackberry.
Here's the link to the current promo:

(as you can tell, I live in Canada so please don't recommend another company)
Thanks in advance!
