President and CEO of Sasktel said, "The good news is that (Apple) is coming out with a new version of the iPhone in the June time-frame and they're going to put us on that. So we're quite excited about that."
I've only heard speculation. This is pretty useful info though. I think I'll hold off on buying a 3gs. Hopefully we can get confirmation of the new hardware and its specs fairly soon.
Does anyone remember the span of time between Apple announcing the 3GS and when it was released?
Yeah, cause everyone knows Steve shares all his secrets with the president of SaskTel. I'm guessing that they're going by the "new iPhone every summer" pattern that everyone else goes by.
I plan to upgrade my 3GS if the new phone comes with [1] a forward facing camera for video chat, [2] higher resolution, [3] more memory, [4] better "main" camera, and [5] a snappier CPU.
The funny thing is, I actually expect that all these will be available. I suppose I could overlook one or two items... oh - who am I kidding? I will upgrade no matter what!

Steve doesn't share any secrets with anybody. However, on the corporate level, Apple and Sasktel need to have a whole lot of corporate agreements in place before an iPhone ever ships to Sasktel (so they can get stuff like carrier codes and profiles setup in the production systems, volumes allocated, and by extensions, allow them to figure out their own internal costs and the selling prices to Sasktel). Those agreements are usually in place 6 months or so before product actually ships. So yes, Sasktel probably does have a signed agreement in place, and will be getting the new iPhone, and Sasktel's president does know this as a certainty.

You'll be paying full price (unless you paid full price for the 3Gs).
You have to wait 2 years for an upgrade with the iPhone. I was bummed I couldn't (and still can't) upgrade to the 3Gs, but I'm okay with waiting for the G3 this summer.

Which is why, I will actually be upgrading my wife's phone, shuffling my 3GS to her, and butta-bing! Happy place!
