The iphone is coming to Canada, all’s not well in the Great White North. Some of the crew of iphoneincanada.ca get to express their views. The petition they were talking about is at http and there’s another one at www.petitiononline.com For the record, yes, I’m the guy with the t-shirt and the “geek belt”. Some info we talked about in the interviews that didn’t make the story: Paying extra $15-20 for Call display and evenings that start before 9 PM 3 year contract is the longest in the world There’s *no* unlimited option at all, no matter how much you’re willing to pay The new iphone uses an unknown (but apparently high) amount of data just for background stuff. Those AT&T minutes are “nationwide” minutes. Etc, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Still, I think they did a good job of warning people to do research.

    I love Apple. I want an iPhone but it is not worth the fucking crap we get from Rogers and Fido. (Fido was sadly bought by Rogers)

    Fuck Fido and Rogers! Boycot the iPhon tell the other company’s get it in their skulls that Rogers and Fido are ripping us all off! I’m sick of the over pricing!

    Q: Why does Rogers charge system access and 911 fees?

    A: Price gouging.

    Q: Why do Canadians have to pay for features that American telecom companies give their customers at no charge?

    A: Because Rogers can get away with it.

    Rogers plan of the iphone is good than AT&T. AT&T has 2 years contract while Rogers has 3 Years contract. So I rather have a Rogers iphone than the AT&T iphone

    Don’t forget that the U.S has FREE LONG DISTANCE. You travel 20mins down the road in Canada and you pay long distance.

    Yep

    Comparing the data plan of (limited) HSPA vs (unlimited) edge is apples and oranges.

    With unlimited edge downloads, you would be luck to reach 2-3 gigs in a month, while with HSPA, you could hit that in a couple of hours.

    So start understanding the technology before slamming a business for their offerings.

    Also, the prices would likely be lower, if Apple wasn’t taking their cut too!
