iPhone in Canada
Well, Rogers announced today that they will be bringing the iPhone to Canada. The Mac forums & b
logs that I read are pretty excited about it. My guess is we will be seeing them in stores here sometime late summer or early fall. Everyone believes that a new iPhone will be announced the end of June, so we wont be seeing anything here before that time.
Now, I realize that some of you are thinking, “So what, it’s just a phone.” I’ve had my unlocke
d iPhone for two weeks now, and I am truly amazed with it. Yes, it’s a phone. But it’s more than that. Since getting my iPhone, I haven’t used my MacBook once. Why? Because I can sync my email, web browsing, etc. on my iPhone. When on wifi, the speed of my iPhone is equal to that of my MacBook (yes, I said equal)!
In the U.S., the iPhone has transformed the mobile phone market. It will do the same when it finally shows up in Canada. Just watch.

I can’t wait until the iPhone comes to Canada!! I also made a posting about the iPhone in my perspective:

A new study came out in the U.S. where over 70% of iPhone users say that are thrilled with their device. The next highest phone on the “satisfaction survey” was the BlackBerry, but it was down around 50%.
It’s simply that good a device.
it’s official: Rogers will be carrying the iPhone on July 11th:
