Wow.. this must be the least helpful comment I’ve read:
“But there is a hack (search for it on Facebook using iphone rogers keywords)…”

Honestly!? Search on Facebook? You mean GOOGLE? lol

Also I don’t understand why everyone is SOOOO bitter, we’ve been getting fed by the hand (Rogers / Fido / Telus / Canadian Telecom) for years, and have bitched at the same level of service / pricing. Nobody charges 6.95$ access fee anymore. It was an initial pay-for-network cost that the Canadian Gov wanted as collateral. Now Rogers / Fido etc.. dropped the ‘Gov sanctioned verbiage’ and still expects us to pay.

Lets start with the system access fee bull$$it first then worry about data plans after.

That might lead to a better approach to this whole matter, then again Rogers will only respond to the market or large companies like Apple. So Canadians will have a hard time.

The thing is the people that will rush out and buy the iPhone dont read these kind of news stories on the net. They hear about the iPhone from whereever and go purchase it. They dont care about all the fine print. They just have to have the newest thing to look good for their friends and show it off.

Most people dont care about getting locked into a contract cause most of the time they are going to stay with the same provider anyways. I was on telus for a 3 year contract then went on a 2 year now half way through a 3 year.

Of course Im not to happy with Telus going to be charging for incoming text messages.

The Exec’s brains at Roger must have frozen during the last Canadian Winter.

Is it because of the global warming?

Or you could realize it’s just a phone (an overpriced phone even in not with rogers) and ignore the whole thing. Burining some US $1 bills sounds like more fun than an iphone to me.

Why not just buy an unlocked iPhone? It has been available in Canada since I do not know when, and there is NO shortage at all.

Except that data plans are so ridiculous that there is no point in using it directly. But there is a hack (search for it on Facebook using iphone rogers keywords) that allows using WAP on iPhone, and Rogers plans for WAP are far more generous.
