We’re not entirely sure at this point, but it looks like this could be the Rogers Wireless Boxing Week promotion. Right now you can pick up a number of select Rogers smartphones for only $0.99 on a 3-year Rogers contract with select plans. The plans basically all require a data plan of some sort, but if you’re buying a smartphone, you’d probably need one anyways. The phones included in the promotion are:
- Nokia N86 8MP – $0.99
- Sony Ericsson X1 – $0.99
- HTC Magic – $0.99
- BlackBerry Bold 9000 White – $0.99
- LG Eve – $0.99 (currently out of stock)
The 3-year contract is probably the biggest barrier for this one. There’s a lot of competition on the horizon and prices across the board are expected to fall. That being said, even the new competitors will have to lock you into some type of contract to subsidize their phones to this level.
