I plan on going out tomorrow and getting the iPhone 3G-S. I currently have a first generation iPhone and am off contract so I'll be going with the subsidized phone + 3 year contract.

But if I am locking myself into a 3 year contract, I want to make sure I'm not overpaying.

My current deal is that I'm paying about $90/month.

$30 for the 6GB data plan.
$15 for the My5 (I live in Ottawa, but family is in Nova Scotia, friends scattered across Canada)
$7 system access fee
$30 voice plan (200 weekday minutes, unlimited evenings)
$10 Every Call Value Pack (Callerid, Voicemail)

Now I've been with Rogers wireless since late 2007 or early 2008... so my 1 year contract is definitely up. Can you negotiate any of these things? If I walk into a Rogers Wireless retailer they can't negotiate like the retention people on the phone, eh?
