I'm not toooo worried about the phone model/features. If it's a relatively new model and takes photos, I'll probably be happy. I'm could do iPhone or Blackberry... whichever is cheaper I guess?
If you only want to sign for one year, you will be paying near-full price for the phone. Might be cheaper picking up a used BB (or iPhone) and going month-to-month...the cost structure for voice/data packages for Rogers/Telus was pretty similar a while back(don't know about Bell).

If you decide to sign a contract, check out the cellphone booths at CostCo, they seem to have some really good deals.

Good luck....
