The total cost is base cost for the phone and the monthly mobile phone plan over a period of 18 months. Basically you get a subsidized phone for signing up for a contract for a period of time (in this case 18 months). This is what they do in almost all parts of the World. The only thing is that you are tied down to the service for the duration of the contract period.
You can buy an unlocked/never locked unsubsidized iPhone for ($1000++) and separate bmobile line and you will have the freedom to change providers.
Take for instance the 16GB $35 package:
via the package you pay: $1704
Based on QQeStore pricing: $1138 + $35*18 = $1768
You save: $60
This may not be alot but you save more with the other plans. Also the plans are slightly different from the regular bmobile plans I think (can’t seem to access the site due to the usage of flash that isn’t loading properly). As I mentioned in my post I think it’s pretty good if you’re planning to get it as a 3G modem and get the unlimited data package ($65).
It's nice not having to go to work and rest for the day. It's not like that the rest is due to sickness =( oh stomach of mine please better 36 minutes ago
