I'm pretty sure I read the Bestbuy part in the Rogers forum on Howardforums.
I was at 2 Futureshop locations and they had dummy models on display with info sheets. Both managers told me it was $199 with 3 year contract and minimum $45 voice+data plan. When I asked them if that was confirmed, they couldn't when they checked their systems. There was a buyout price tag though, which was $679.
They said they're expecting a launch on Monday, so I said I'd call back. Both stores said they made a fairly big order, but who knows if all the info was accurate.
