iPhone in Canada Soon! Rogers Update!

For all you Canadians wanting an iPhone, it looks like our time is near. Rogers Wireless has finally released an “Unlimited Data Plan” - Much like AT&T did in the U.S. a year ago. According to Rogers you can add the package to your existing contract for $20 extra per month. The plan offers the following features:

  • Unlimited On-Device Mobile Browsing
  • 2500 Sent Text Messages
  • 1000 Sent Picture/Video Messages
  • Voice Mail
  • Call Display
  • Name Display
  • WhoCalled

Now, Rogers has not “officially” said the iPhone is coming, but considering this package was pretty much the only thing holding back the iPhone’s release, I would assume that it is just around the corner.

In Europe, when the iPhone was released, there was not much warning, I think consumers were only given a week or two notice it was coming. So maybe we will see the iPhone by the months end!

This move by Rogers is a HUGE step for the canadian wireless industry! The only concern I have is about the actual pricing of the phone, will get it at the same cost as our American neighbors, or will we experience the typical expensive Canadian price?

Either way, I know I’ll be having a sleep over outside my nearest Roger’s store in the near future!
