It really doesn't matter as there's no such thing as "deals" from the big 3, just perks for signing up. Bell does have the newest "locked tight" phones (including many of Bell's junk app in there). Rogers on the other hand, gives free PS3, tablet etc... it's your call.
For Bell's network performance, I am not too sure where you are most of the time, but my experience with Bell's 3G network is less than ideal (my gf has a Bell's SGS). I have been constantly doing speed tests, and get reception info from service mode by typing *#*#4636#*#*in CM7.1
I come from Fido/Rogers and I find their network at least more reliable than Bell for the following reason:
- Rogers has more allotment 850MHz and 1900MHz spectrum than anyone since the spectrum auction in the early 2000. They are the only one running GSM on both frequency. They are now moving onto the 700Mhz against Mobilicity and other small ones.
- Rogers runs both 2G GSM and 3G UTMS and LTE on both 850MHz and 1900MHz, therefore the phone can switch between 2G and 3G in areas as needed. Bell only has 3G running, 2G is their CDMA network. So many times I get Emergency Call Only with Bell in covered area when my Rogers shows I am on EDGE.
- All Bell's 3G traffics are routed through pda.bell.ca, a proxy server that gets over-crowded with traffic all the time; ping time is slow and the speed gets hammered.
- If you use A-GPS, Bell's scarce tower locations in city makes A-GPS extremely inaccurate without a full GPS lock.
- Bell is expensive, Bell is running 2 different networks (CDMA and UTMS) which are two different things, compare to Rogers who is running just one network with 2 systems. In terms of network optimization and expansion, who will be faster?
Telus is the same story, they are building the network from scratch just before the Olympics.
Finally, off-contract SGS2 is only $549, and you can sell it after for whatever $$ is worth. Bell's SGS2 cannot be unlocked cheaply yet (they lock it differently), the phone is useless and they won't even give out the unlock code even you pay them. Rogers could unlock for $50 or free when contracts end.
I deal with Virgin, Bell, Telus, Rogers and Fido at work, each of these company tell me a different story. Basically I am just combining the facts and my observation in the past.

, since I have 6 months left with my contract, I called into Rogers and they can only fix my bill to $70 after tax, which I think is still very expensive in terms of my usage...
