Oh no, I am going to have someone take over my plan while I am gone.

As for prices there. Here are the telecom website mentioned earlier
https://www.optus.com.au/ and Telstra
Thanks!

I talked to a friend who works at Rogers and they say the max is 4 months.

Is it four months? I told my friend who is an account manager at Rogers that I planned on cancelling my contract because I'm going to Asia for a while, and she said that it would probably be more beneficial to pause my contract, so when I return I can keep my number.

$20 a month to park, or $10 a month if you cancel your data plan. Cancelling your data plan costs $10 per month remaining on your contract up to a max of $100.

With whoever gives the best deal.. bell and telus gives the highest port-in credits I think. I've been with Telus for 8 years myself but my workplace gets no reception I find rogers pretty enticing.. but they weren't offering anything worthwhile for me to jump ship
Maybe it'll be different for you since you're with fido?

Service is getting shittier with Rogers and the willingness to give good deals to customers that will attract them more versus other competitors. I got a year left on my contract. Thinking of jumping ship to another carrier to sign 3 years for so that I dont go with Robbers for another 4 years for the Note II or S3

Yeah I asked a person working at the Rogers store and also my friend, both said only up to 4 months. Even during the 4 months you have to pay, something like $15 for data and $12 for the voice plan.

How much is a N2 worth? Lots of ads on CL for $700 and up. I really want one, but can't justify more than $600.

How is everyone enjoying their note 2s?

Battery is a beast. 60% at the end of the day feels awesome

There are some corners that are a bit rough (coming from an iphone), such as notifications and whatnot, but overall it's all good.

Some of the "features" don't really work as well as they're supposed to; mainly the smart-eye things, where it adjusts rotation to my face and keeps the screen on while i'm looking at it. The pen alarm thing doesn't work so well either.

Is there a way to get fonts without paying $3?

I picked my Note 2 up from Rogers last friday. Do I just not know how or does this version of the phone not have the split screen function? My buddies phone (international version) starts the process by holding down the "back" button, nothing happens on mine.

Not sure if anybody saw this, but Rearth's Ringke Slim hard case is on sale for only $10.99, which is 50% off.

It's sold out on their website, but they have stock on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Feeling-Premium-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B009POUJ5S/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1351715792&sr=1-1&keywords=note+2+rearth
Here's their product page:
Rearth Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SLIM Case

I actually don't have a Note2, but I have their case for the Galaxy Nexus and I think its pretty good quality.
