It had to be an american, this soo true aboot you American dudes. You guys can't distinguish a state from a country lol! No wonder why people don't like you out of the US.

We might look the same but we dont speak the same,we are not the same we are Canadians. Ohh Canada the best country in the world!

Cheers,eh!!!

come on data plan for none windows based phones! thank god its coming but now everyone wont be like

is that an iphone?

**ederoo** · 05-01-2008, 01:03 PM

If they're selling them in Canada, its probably going to be crazyyyy expensive with a 3 yr contract with rogers or something....I got my iPhone from the states for only $400 no contract and I'm currently using it canada. It should be interesting because about a month before they come out in Canada ppl will be like, "omg I'm getting an iPhone" and I'll be like..."So what? I've had one since like 9 months ago" lol.

Canadian iPhone lovers have been drooling since before the US launch of the iPhone, waiting to get their hands on an official Canadian iPhone. Over 150,000 Canadians visit MMi every month (what's up, Vancouver and Weston!) - well, now you'll be getting official Rogers iPhones.

Here's the short and sweet quote from Rogers:

I have a question....

**dentreca** · 05-02-2008, 06:20 PM

Well at least now I won't be alone!

8gig Iphone on rogers in Nova Scotia since December......

**Munzo** · 05-03-2008, 06:26 PM

Yeh that's all well and good that we will have it in Canada but the bad news is the price :P

Not only will it be like 500 or 600 in a Rogers dealer but also the monthly data rate will be like $100 for 25MB's..

Everyone and their mom is going to have an iPhone coming next year. It will definitely be a big seller for Christmas. I remember back in September when everyone was ooooing and ahhhing at my iPhone. Now its like meh, they are everywhere.

I hate to say this but after 9 months of owning an iPhone, I'm bored of it. I find myself now using any of the major applications anymore. Time for a HTC maybe? N95?

Upgrade what?

I would think that once the iPhone is out for Rogers, an unlock would not be necessary because there would be a firmware that recognizes Rogers SIM cards.

HOWEVER...

We might see two versions of the firmware for the two versions of iPhone, so the v1 phones might still be officially unsupported. This isn't a big deal, IMHO because the unlock process is pretty damn easy now and virtually danger-free.

The thing I'm excited the most about is the possibility of (relatively) cheaper data plans for wireless surfing. Right now, it's waaaay cost-prohibative to surf via Edge. Once the iPhone comes out, hopefully I can add on a data package that allows unlimited (or at least a GB) surfing.

I'm happy about 1 thing now. I can go into any apple store in canada and get sh*t for it without having to buy online and ship. I've heard rumer price's of $699 on a 3 year plan for a 16gig thats sh*tie.

Welcome to The Great White North. Where Teddy Rogers is the greediest man around.

Rumors are rumors, and should not be substantiated through hearsay. Rogers has not determined a price for the iPhone as of yet, so whomever's giving you the rumor is blowing smoke out his arse.

**nemo123** · 05-09-2008, 09:25 AM

Well seeing it is going to be the 2nd Gen iPhone that is released in Canada meaning a 3g phone you can bet on one thing I'm most likely not right on the prices their going to be much higher.

Gouging is what Teddy does best.
