| Cost to switch from Rogers to Wind? or I can get better plan from Rogers?
My Plan
SP Unlimited Plan w/Double Min
Unlimited Eve & Wknd Minutes
50 Bonus Weekday Minutes
Unlimited Incoming Calls
250+250 Weekday Minutes
6pm Early Evening Calling
Included with My Plan
Call Forward/Trans.Pay Per Use
500MB Data Option
Van./Vic. Rate Following
2500 Sent/Unltd Rcvd Text Msgs
Partial Detail Billing
$69.83 after tax
my contract ends @ 08-Jun-2013(since 2010 Jun) 
I wonder how much penalty will it be if I switch now?
The only phone I'm interested to get is Galaxy Nexus(not available from Rogers yet)
My voice usage go from 800mins to 2000mins a month(so far doesn't need to pay extra for mins), but need to pay for Data, LD, Roaming and Picture & Video Msgs. (10/12 months a year) & the plan isn't cheap to begin with.
Thank you

Operating under the assumption that your data contract ends June 2013 as well...
You're looking at $20/mo to a max of $400 and $10/mo to a max of $100 for an early cancellation with Rogers.
$20 x 18 = 360
$10 x 10 = 100
= $460 + taxes (yes, they tax the ECF)
+ prorated charges for your last month when you port out.
Your final bill will easily be ~$550 or more, depending on where in your billing cycle you port out.
As far as plans, yes, it is easy to find better plans through Wind, Mobilicity, or even Virgin and Koodo.
Wind has the $40 Holiday Miracle Plan, Mobilicity the $25 Back to School plan, Virgin and Koodo the $35 City plans, etc. etc.
As far as saving you significant amounts of money... Wind or Mobilicity, based on the amount of voice minutes you use (though it could depend on what time of day you use most of your minutes).

Thx Alatar
So up front I have to pay around $600 to Rogers.
If I go for that $40+tax plan from wind, each month I'll be paying $44.8. The amount I can save during this period of time : ($70-$45)X18 = $450+ & a newer phone(from Sony X10 to Nexus S, $0 on WINDtab+ )
I'm okay with my X10, so most likely I'll be happy with the Nexus S.
Any hidden fee or catch I should be aware from Wind?

No stupid 911/GRRF/SAF.

From what I've gathered:
No tethering add-on --> 5GB of data before possibly getting throttled
With tethering add-on --> 10GB of data before possibly getting throttled
It doesn't matter if it's used on your phone or tethered to another device, the add-on only changes the data usage soft-cap.

The only thing wind will do is enforce their "5 gig soft cap" if you don't have the tethering option added.
It becomes a "10 gig soft cap" once you have the tethering option added.
