Telus is less evil? Hmmm... we could debate that for a while.
That $15 plan is for person email and instant messaging right? Not unlimited browsing.
A 1GB data plan on a blackberry is still $100 at Telus. Rogers has essentially the same plan.
I think that you're going to see Telus and Bell slashing data plan rates on their smartphones in order to try to stem the tide of people rushing over to Rogers. Rogers will be forced to respond in kind.
Rogers has been gaining market share for some time now, and until Telus and Bell roll out GSM they are going to be playing catchup with Rogers.
