Hmmm... the iPhone has been all over Canada from the beginning. The interesting part is all of them are "Unlocked" units that work on any GSM network. To be sure a bit more expensive, but that is the way it goes....  |

@bell.ca | Not necessarily true on being more expensive. I have been using an unlocked phone that I unlocked myself back in October. Very easy to do, you just need to buy one from Apple in the US and spend an hour unlocking it. |

Vancouver, BC | True enough. All depends on how you value your "Time". Now that the $CDN is close to par that difference has vanished too... |

| Rogers will offer an unlimited data plan, but it'll be so expensive nobody (except the early adopters and uber rich) will pick it up.
They can then say they offered the iPhone but nobody wanted it. Once you start allowing cheap unlimited plans on the iPhone the rest will want it too |

I paid $200 for my 8gb iPhone... furthermore it's unlocked and I'm not paying for the service 
Now that's a deal! |

Vancouver, BC | Well that sounds like more Sub Prime market collapse to me. Or pressure from the 16GB models.... |

Since March, Rogers has implemented IMEI tracking for its services, which means that Rogers now has the ability to offer a plan and lock it to a specific device. I can see Rogers offering an unlimited data plan, and lock it to the iPhone only. |
