Boy Genius and their stealthy squad of tele-shinobi have emerged with juicy details on the Canadian carrier Rogers and their next gen iPhone plans:

iPhone — ETA: unknown (July/August), outright: not allowed, 3-year: TBD. Of note, Rogers will launch the new iPhone on the same day that it lifts off here in the US. Purchases will be limited to one iPhone per customer on opening day and there will be active demos on display in stores. Also of note, Rogers expects to have substantially more iPhones on hand this time around so as not to run into the same stock issues as with the iPhone 3G launch.

Last year’s launch raised cross-country protests over the then-exorbitantly high data rates in Canada, which caused Rogers to temporarily offer a $30/6GB plan which has since disappeared. With AT&T considering lower rates for the iPhone, is there a chance in Hull Rogers would do likewise?

Rogers is must probably not going to offer lower rates unless there's a generalized uproar that would be covered by medias.

hahaha not a chance, I got the 6 gig package but honestly which they offered a 3 gig package for $15 that to me would be so worth it either way when the new iphone comes out im getting it and i already have this data plan so im good.

[nave3d]

im paying 30 for 1Gig, its f-in retarded.

[bkushner]

What is going to suck for me is Fido won't be carrying the new iPhone so in order to get it I will have to lose my sweet 10 year old Fido plan. Total crap.

[fireplague]

I don't think rogers will do that and i have a feeling they will be charging crazy amount of money for the new iPhone. they know they have a monopoly and they will exploit it.

Canada needs more companies like US for better competition and lower prices with better plans

[gd6noob]

i dnt think competition would mean much if they have excelusive rights to certain phones...

not to mention A LOT of the good phones only comes in GSM, only ROGERS in canada are the oly GSM provider (THATS BULLSHIT)

[nave3d]

WAIT FIDO ISNT FRICKIN CARRYING THE NEW PHONE?
YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS AND FIDO WONT GET IT?
im gonna kill myself

[moshika]

I took the phone without a data plan.... cuz i dont really use internet outside so i would be paying for no reason
