There are rumors that Rogers will make the Apple iPhone available in Canada by December this year. This is logical, since Rogers is the largest GSM provider in Canada.
The price is said to be $499 CAD with a 3 year contract.
Of course this is a totally outrageous price. The iPhone is available in the USA for $399 USD, and with the new exchange rates, those loonies are around $519 USD!
A two hour drive from Waterloo to Buffalo's Walden Galleria can pay for those $120 in gas!
Tell me again why is it $120 more in Canada? It used to be that the excuse is the exchange rate. Now that the exchange rate is in favor of Canadians, what is the excuse, other than price gouging.

Simple Reason
Fri, 2007/11/16 - 14:11I don't know why but I have a good idea.
Rogers is THE ONLY telephone company that can support GSM in Canada. No wonder that they can make their price. Furthermore, there is a lot less competition for data plans in Canada. The iPhone having a good apetite about it would also be a reason.
Please, have ourself a bit more competition about cellphone company here.
