    I feel your pain my friend. July 11th will be bitter sweet.

    I couldn’t agree more… can we please get some good old competition for a wake up call for Rogers? The data plans are pretty much useless…

    As someone who now works for at&t (still in training) I must say Jason, you’re right. These plans from Rogers kinda, well…suck.
    Sorry. :)
    I am able to give my customers great deals through at&t and I always think to myself, “I wish I could get that plan!”
    Let us know what you think of the phone once you start using the 3G.

    not good. wow. That is what happens when one cell company rules the roost. Those rates do suck. But the iPhone is so worth it.

    Looks like folks are pretty unhappy about the rates that are planned and an online petition has started…
    Let’s see if the masses can have an impact.

    Jason, did you see this artcile from yahoo.ca? (I’m sure it’s other places too.) Just glad Rogers is listening to folks who will be purchasing the iPhone in this week.
    Rogers backs down on iPhone data plan pricing ahead of launch
    MONTREAL – After consumer complaints about the costs of running an iPhone, Rogers Wireless (TSX:RCI.B) is cutting the price of the smartphone’s data plan to $30 a month for a limited time.
    The $30 monthly fee for data applies to a three-year contract for customers who activate their iPhones by Aug. 31.
    The data plan rate is for Web browsing, emails and video.
    Rogers says the six-gigabyte data plan will allow users to visit 36,000 Web pages, send or receive more than 157,000 emails or watch almost 6,300 minutes of YouTube videos each month.
    The much-anticipated iPhone goes on sale this Friday at select Rogers Plus stores in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Halifax, Calgary and Vancouver.
    Rogers says customers will also have the choice of selecting existing Rogers voice and smartphone data plans.
    The iPhone will cost $199 and Rogers is the only Canadian carrier that has a network capable of running the high-end, touch-screen multimedia phone.
