This review, based on a trip to Market Mall recently, wasn't even supposed to happen since I went to the Mall to visit the Rogers Plus store since my blackberry had died and I needed to get it fixed.
However, I was a bit early so the store was closed and I ended up wandering until they opened and ended up chatting with some super friendly Bell employees at the Bell kiosk. The manager Lesley told me they had recently moved from Chinook and hadn't been on Market very long.
I told her of my frustrations with Rogers, how my blackberry had died and how Rogers had been charging me too much for far too long. She told me about some plans with Bell (which are about $50 cheaper per month) and also showed me some of their phones.
The Motorola Atrix is exclusive to Bell and is coming out soon. Also, Lesley uses the HTC H7 which is a sweeeet phone.
I normally don't factor customer service into my decision to buy a phone, but based on how friendly Lesley was and based on how unfriendly and distracted the Rogers employees were, I am definitely considering switched to Bell (for the phone, for the contract and for the customer service). I've also heard that Bell's network is much better than Rogers (case in point - I've had 5 dropped calls on the Rogers network in the past few weeks).
If you want a phone or a new plan, go check out the Bell kiosk in Market Mall!!
Cheers,
