-iPhone - Rogers Canada
-HTC Diamond - Rogers/Bell
-BB Storm - Bell/Telus
Caveats: wife has a strict no splurging on gadgets rule... so I'm looking at maximum $100 for the handset (probably more like $50->free), and no more than $40 / mth (could maybe push $50 and drop my home phone)...
Wants:
-Shiny toy
-Mp3 player
-MSN/Hotmail (will sacrifice for all the crazy shit on the iPhone)
-Wifi (will sacrifice on Storm)
-More text than talk
I've seen a deal for the Diamond on Bell, $50 for the handset, $45/mth for 500MB and some other BS... but Bell gets a really bad rep on the forums I troll (RedFlagDeals)...
Rogers seems to have positive feedback (for a major cell carrier), but I can't find a decent middleground in their plans...
Remember: Canada'd so we get raped on cellphones up here...
My top choice ATM is the iPhone... too many sexy apps...
Failing a decent recommendation on these 3 phones, convince me why I should wait for Canada to get an Android based something, or tell me about a sexy phone that will blow these away...
Thanks Shack
TL;dr - recommend a good smartphone, preferably touch and with wifi

>Went to WalMart- no Fido or iPhone to be found (even though they are listed as having both) - fail
>Went to WirelessWave - asked for iPhone and the sales guy's little eyes lit up... asked for Fido with no data and he told me it couldn't be done... I told him I knew it could be done and he basically said well go somewhere else and get it, and walked away - fail
>Went to Cellcom(Rogers) - asked for iPhone -- out of stock -- asked about no data, guy was hesitant and said they wouldn't do it, but knew it could be done... suggested I phone in and do it... - partial fail
>Went to Costco (needed kitty litter lol) - iPhone was noticably missing the iPhone, but I asked -- out of stock -- asked about doing with no data plan... the guy asked why, I explained I wanted a new phone, and and iPod Touch... he said OK I can do it... $250 for phone and whatever plan you want... I told him that I was rejected outright at two other places and he said yes, because of lowered commission, but he said making the customer happy is top priority, I shook his hand and said I'd be back on Wednesday when they get more stock... disappointed they didn't have any, but emboldened by talking to someone who didn't treat me like a retard...
TL;dr - getting an iPhone with no data is not a simple task
