^ I can't get reception at 54/victoria ( on the lot of my house), and I'm not talking inside... I don't mind the dead spots, for the price, still worth it(used over 6gb of data this month already), but man...my nexus s refuses to reconnect to the network sometimes...I gotta dial out to force it to reconnect...f'n annoying.

i had no connection problems so far. i just make sure i have wifi set up in certain places like my school so that i don't use more batteries than needed in areas that require a stronger network signal.

when i had my panache and i left data on in one of the buildings at bcit, in 3 hours it went from 100% to 75%. then again the battery life with the panache was pretty bad.

my nexus s with moderate usage, i'm getting 2 days now before i charge it up.

No. Go into a Mobi store with your Rogers account number, they'll take care of everything.

Definitely DO NOT cancel.

Just go over to mobi like said above with your account number and everything should be done within 10 mins.

You will have to pay a small early cancellation fee. $20 I'm guessing.

IIRC, if you call in to Rogers to cancel they will freeze ur # and you won't be able to port over.

The same for any carrier I think.

Call in and find out what is the date that you're done your contract.

With this info, you can better plan what to do. When you find out, just post it here, I have some ideas on what you can do but I'm sure there are plenty of RS'ers who are willing to help out as well.

Besides, there is the 100 port in credit, so why fret?

Unlocking carriers =/= unlocking all frequencies.

How's the data speed on their network? I heard it is brutal in Toronto (80-120kB/s). Planning to grab another 3G line for a tablet so data speed is very important, no point getting unlimited if i'm crawling at 100kB/s.

Tablet will only be used in N Van, Van and Rmd if that matters at all.

It's usually around 150-160kb/sec from what I've been seeing in my speedtests.
