$49 on a 3 year plan, with the ability to hardware upgrade after 30 months.
Note 2:
Verizon:
$299 on a 2 year plan. - No early Upgrade.
Rogers:
$149 on a 3 year plan. Early upgrade after 30 months.
IPhone 5 (16 GB)
$199, 2 year plan, no early upgrade.
$179, 3 year plan. Early upgrade after 30 months.
So realistically, you have 6 months of extra time with a phone, and are playing less across the board, from $20 with the iPhone 5 (Apple's fault though) to $150 less on a Note 2.

Where are you getting this early upgrade after 30 months on Rogers? I've been with Rogers for over 8 years now and I've never been allowed to upgrade early, other than doing so and paying for the early upgrade (as in there is still $100 to pay on your device so you can upgrade if you pay that $100 plus the cost of the phone plus the $35 admin fee) so after 30 months a GS3 is $49 + $100 + $35 admin fee.
Still getting screwed here in Canada.
