@theslacker Did you buy the Eve or get the $50 contract price? If you got the contract phone then what did you like better about it over the Magic? @$80 for the Magic over 3 years that $30 is a difference of $10 per year, less than $1 per month. So you must have paid full price or simply preferred the Eve at least at first. Full price difference is $200 so that's a valid difference.
I'm not playing devil's advocate or poking fun at you. But this points to where we need to start thinking differently if we're ever going to change the thinking at Rogers and the entire industry.
Buying unlocked and contract free allows me as the customer to update or change providers as I see fit. I'll take the responsibility of education and take the risk of potential brick. We might eventually start changing the industry. Demanding change while taking the path that Rogers wants us to will never change it.
or jump into that gray area of rooting the phone and updating that way. Not the ideal way but a slightly better option than sitting on an obsolete device.
congrats to you guys that got Rogers to rethink the updates on one or two phones. I don't think that will change very much overall though. The next batch of phones and users will have to start the whole process all over again.
