iPhones banned in Canada thanks to Rogers Wireless
What a mess! Thanks to Rogers Wireless and excessive costs, Canadian Apple Retail stores will no longer be selling the new 3G iPhones come Friday in Canada.
The Apple iPhone and the iPhone 3G are fast becoming to sexiest device to have and with companies exploiting its existence, I worry that Canada won’t be the only country being halted on this front.
The fact that people have already created Lindssy Lohan iPhone wallpapers just shows how popular these devices are going to be. I can understand incredible iPhone applications, but if the market is gearing up for wallpapers and iPhone ringtones, we just know what a boom this is going to bring!
I am really keen to buy myself an iPhone, the wait is honestly killing me!

So, does this mean you now have the time to push your own iphone website up in the rankings? :-) Or is he just a friend of yours…

Hmm that is where im hoping to get a bit lucky. I hope that i can somehow get one on prepaid over there so there wont be any need to unlock or anything. I think I could be being a little hopeful, but my fingers are crossed

“Apple says that the $199 (8GB) and $299 (16GB) prices will be maximums in almost all of the countries in which it is offered; however, these prices represent carrier-locked prices, based upon a commitment to pay recurring voice and data fees for 18 or more months (effectively doubling the price over the period of ownership).
Unlocked, contract-free pricing will cost much more (up to 3.5 to 4 times more), so this is expected to cost R7,000 to R9,000 in contract-free form”
Nice phone and all but reading the fine print it’s really not that amazing if its priced the same as most other phones of its class.

Mike.. I agree, I’ve heard that there’s nothing increible about the phone and I certainly didn’t find anything amazing when I played on one, but I’m still hooked ;)

Just slightly sensationalist, don’t you think? The iPhone is not “Banned in Canada” – it’s still going to be sold in Rogers + Fido stores, just not in Apple shops….

Hi Paul, aaah, sorry about that, I had understood from the couple articles that I read that it would not be sold in Canada, thank you popping in and educating me mate!
