On that account I’m refusing to buy until some real changes come our way. I’m also disappointed that RIM is allowing Rogers to “kill off” the Bold in favouring of the iPhone without a fight. As a small business, I’d plan to upgrade but not in today’s scenario.

Why would RIM allow a company like Rogers price their product at $100 over an iPhone. At the current pricing that is not going to encourage anybody to go to a Bold. At $275 I was going to upgrade. Now I might as well get an iPhone. No wonder the company I work at is wanting to switch carriers.
