Thanks for all of your input on this, and Bryan for the offer of the phone.

Ended up going to raise hell at Bell yesterday after we received our bill (the long distance was ridiculous the past month because I had to make a ton of calls). This after wifey called Bell CS to see what was going on, and to get a better long distance plan.. which we got, but didn't get this a the last time she called, which was right before I left for out east.

Oh, and we were still paying the system access fee because it was attached to our old plan, and to get rid of that we'd have to get a new plan and new contract. Which irked me.

The guy at the Bell store in Fairview (David.. reminds me of the asian guy on Barney Miller) told us to call retentions and be nice to them since we were going to just buy out the contract and leave because we were so pissed off.

Anyhow, we managed to get smartphone plans for $45 each with 500MB of data, bunch of minutes, unlimited text, voicemail, and caller ID, along with unlimited Canada/US long distance (after 6pm which is great for me since I sleep all day, and work all evening/night) thrown in for nothing.

I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy (Android 1.5, but better than the other offerings) for $0, and Mish got a Samsung Wave. Really wanted the Galaxy Vibrant, but I got "the look" when she looked at the price tag and that ended that conversation.

Has wifi, gps, bluetooth, the whole deal. Hers does too even. So not burning my data usage using the network unless I'm in the sticks.

Now to see if I can get it to upgrade to Android 2.1 or 2.2...
