globeandmail.com: Bell undercuts iPhone plans with unlimited Instinct

The smartphone that has been hailed as “the iPhone killer” by online pundits is coming to Canada on Aug. 8.

The Samsung Instinct, which has many of the same features as the Apple iPhone, differs from the iPhone in one major way: Its monthly price plan, which will dramatically undercut the iPhone plan announced last week by Rogers Wireless.

A subscriber can buy the Instinct for as low as $149.95 and then pay less than $40 a month for a modest voice plan accompanied by an unlimited data plan on Bell’s high-speed data network.

In contrast, Rogers Wireless’s cheapest iPhone plan costs $60 per month, and includes only 400 megabytes of data.

$10 unlimited data on EV-DO (excluding voice). Damn it Rogers! Get it together.

I hate it when they label something the [insert Apple product] killer. It never is.
