OFFICIAL: Rogers iPhone in Canada

Toronto - Rogers announced a deal, Tuesday, to bring the Apple iPhone to Canada.

"We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year. We can't tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned," said Ted Rogers, president and CEO of Rogers Communications Inc., in a statement issued today.


Now, Ted, how about that $1,000 unlimited data plan?

I thought the cellphone gates were open to allow the US carriers into Canada? I don't mind paying ~ $30/mth for unlimited data, but with Rogers 5 cents/kb plan, it'll cost me $400/hour!! that's like someone giving you a Ferrari, but then gas will cost you $100/liter!! Nice to look at, but I want to be able to use all of the features too!

I hope they don't

1. Put a Rogers logo on the phone.
2. Force a data plan on you.

It's also fascinating how 2 kids from different parents looked identical and both played the role of baby michelle on full house and now 20 some years later, they still look identical.

The gates remain closed. There may be a new carrier. It would only take them half a decade to create a new GSM infrastructure.

As for data on an iPhone, waiting to see what is actually offered as a plan might be more interesting than a complete and total off the wall guess.

Rogers better have 3G and most importantly... an affordable unlimited data plan for this baby...

Canada's wireless companies suck compared to the rest of the world!!

I'm sure the reason why they have still yet to release it is that they are waiting for the Iphone 2 to come out.

It's always good to have more choices but I still don't see myself buying a iphone with plan officially as im sure they will be outrageous prices.
