Nope. Why spend money on crappy 3g when I can get wifi for free?

That's not even a very good subsidization...I have to pay at least $31.95+tax for two years AND pay $299 for a netbook that I'm not too fond of? Puh-leeze. When there's better rates and better pricing on a netbook, then perhaps this would be considerable. Kudos to Rogers for bringing over this type of business though.

They are the ones leading the "revolution" :)

making the netbook free on contract would be a good move. But for $300 plus the monthly contract is waaay to much money. Considering other netbooks like the Aspire One are in the $349+ range. Oh and for $25 a month you get 500MB of data which you can go through in the first week of the month. They need to release better plans if they're hoping to hook people on the netbooks.

Pretty much a fail here. Look out for some rich kids to be running around with these.

should have spent the money building out LTE

Don't think I will get one, not at $200 plus a data plan for 2 years at a $25 minimum (for 500MB, not much for netbook usage) is $1200. The Dell Mini 10 is on sale right now for $349+tax, much better deal and no 2 year contract to be locked in to.
