The only bad thing though is that the iPhone is now going to become the next Razr...

ANYONE who is ANYONE is going to have one now...

I hope but doubt they will have a "cheapskate" plan for barstards like me. I'm on Fido with expired $25 contract.

Rogers and Apple to Bring iPhone 3G to Canada on July 11

WWDC SAN FRANCISCO and TORONTO, June 9 /CNW/ - Rogers Communications and
Apple(R) today announced that the highly anticipated iPhone(TM) 3G will be
available in Canada on July 11. iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary
features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast(*) as the first
generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services,
and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built
with the recently released iPhone SDK.
"Rogers has a long history of bringing Canadians the very best in
wireless services, networks and handset innovations," said Rob Bruce,
president, Rogers Wireless. "With iPhone 3G, we will provide our customers
with an amazing mobile experience over Canada's fastest wireless network."
"We're excited to be working with Rogers to bring iPhone 3G to Canada,"
said Tim Cook, Apple's COO. "We can't wait to get this revolutionary phone in
the hands of even more people around the world." iPhone 3G will operate on
Rogers' High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) wireless network, the fastest mobile
network in Canada. HSPA is nationally available in the top Canadian urban
centers from Vancouver to Halifax, covering more than 60 percent of the
population. iPhone 3G will also operate on Roger's coast-to-coast GSM/EDGE
network, proven to be the country's most reliable wireless network. Starting
July 11, iPhone 3G will sell for $199 for the 8Gb model and $299 for the 16Gb
model, on a three-year plan. More details on price plans and retail
availability will be available soon.

Sorry guys but Apple is behind the ball on this one. 3G has been out for a while, and they've just managed to get 3G, GPS and WIFI all in one device. There are other devices like this already out there. Hence, any competitor devices that come out from now on will be as LEAST as good as the iPhone 2 + features.

Their stock also kind of plumetted, strangely. It probably has to do with 199 price. Profit margin is tiny, and growth could be as well. Although Nastaq followed same path, we'll see...

Of course they're behind the ball, and I hate to say it, but they're the only company with a device that has these features and that a) isn't thick as hell, and/or b) isn't slow as fuck (see every HTC device).

It's been a year since the original iPhone was released, and there has yet to be a device with the same ease of use as it.

wait guys there's no bluetooth on this ?!?! WTF?!
