So question, being that the iphone is the first apple product I've owned, how does one get these software updates? Are they sent out over the networks or do they come in when you sync?

Also, being that I'm up here in the great white north, is that something that rogers will be filtering out as they've done with other firmware updates to other phones in the past?

It will notify you of an available update one you connect it to iTunes.

Everytime you plug your iPhone into your computer and start up iTunes it will look for an update and ask if you want to install it. Click yes and your in business.

When you sync up your iPhone in iTunes, if there is an available update, it will alert you and give you the option to either select, "Yes I want to update," or "No, I don't want to update."

Also even though your on Rodgers, (which IMO is ironic that their owned in majority by AT&T here in the US), you should still be able to get the update since the updates are pushed through Apples servers and not through Rodgers. Plus, those European countries that received the iPhone Gen 1, they were able to update and were running on T-Mobile, Vodafone or O2. So I see no reason why you shouldn't get the update.

Just some clarification, AT&T does not hold a majority share in Rogers Wireless. Rules from the CRTC made it prohibitave for AT&T to do business as Rogers AT&T. Rogers bought them out in October 2004 for near $2 Billion Canadian. A shame though...bring Canada more competition and abolish the CRTC's control.
