iPhone invading Canada tomorrow?

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Jan 15th 2008 at 3:56AM

According to a report from the market-mindful Bloomberg, old Jobsy could be dropping the iPhone on Canada come tomorrow's keynote. If you believe what RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky says (and that's a big if), Apple will unleash the phone via Rogers Communications -- the country's largest mobile service provider. "There's a very good chance that Apple will announce or discuss some kind of other carrier roll-outs, beyond the ones it has done in Europe and the U.S." He said, adding that, "There is definitely very strong demand and interest here." To which we say, "Duh," and, "Hey, we've heard this before." Though we're not sure Steve will have time for the Canadian launch in his keynote, what with all the algae-based hard drives, unicorn laptops, and rays of pure energy he'll be introducing.

Rogers will jack up the price the 599$ plus a 3-year agreement and outrageous price plans, only a few lazy people will actually go for it when you can get it in the states for 399$ and have it unlocked. so I just don't see that happenning.

I've been using my Iphone with Rogers since the unlocking became available. i got a regular plan and pay 5$ extra for 5MB data. the only thing missing is the visual voicemail. which isn't a big deal.
