Rogers and Iphone

So when is a Canadian company going to be picking up an Iphone?

It looks pretty cool, but i guess i am more interested in the data plan then anything else...

if anyone has any insight let me know!

The problem currently lies in the fact that there is no unlimited data plans offered by Rogers, who is the only GSM provider in Canada.

The iphone is only really useful with an unlimited plan....so unless there is some deal that apple and rogers can work out, which just seems a bit unlikely right now... it will probably not be here for quite a while..

Just an update.

Canadians who were hoping for an iPhone announcement from Rogers in the near future may as well put their wallets aways as Ted and the boys at Rogers still don't have a date. Citing Canada's smaller cellular market as one possible reason, Rogers CEO Nadir Mohamed said the device would likely go on sale in Europe before Canada. Rogers spokesperson Jan Innes added that the two sides aren't currently in chats about the handset, but refused to comment on if they had been in the past -- though seriously, they're nuts if they haven't been.
