Seriously, did anyone really expect to be getting a GREAT deal from Rogers on the device?

Great deals and good prices are words not known to Rogers.

I can't believe the retail price is over 500 for both USD and CAD, considering the 8120 Pearl's retail (according to T-Mobile's site) is USD$349 and the 8320 Curve is USD$449. Something seems off with that price.

$5 credit or not, it's still ridiculous!

Remember that there is a $5 credit per month on the $15/$20 Value Packs.

45 + 15 + 15 - 5 = $70

That's not $70. That's $75 before SAF & 911, or almost $85 after taxes and everything. The extra money you'll be paying/month is hardly worth the $50 discount.
