Although you don't need a data plan if you use WiFi, yes?

Where are the iPhones?? SW Ontario...

I live in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. Does anyone know of a Rogers store that actually has 16 GB iPhones? I'd be willing to driver a far distance.. Missisauga?

Also.. I just realized that I started a new 3 year contract with Rogers back in September 2007, which got me a new phone. Roger's website sez I am not eligiable for a hardware upgrade.. is there anyway around this? Or will I be paying mad money?

Perhaps. AT&T prepaid (GoPhone) SIM cards did not work in the first gen. iPhones unless they were unlocked. If the same is true for the 3G then you wouldn't be able to pay the ECF and go prepaid unless Rogers agreed to let you use the same SIM card (i.e. switch your whole account over to prepaid). I don't know how flexible Rogers is in this regard--others can chime in with respect to that.

Alternatively, you could get a cheap $20/month (200 minutes) plan and keep the contract until you really wanted out.

Are you planning to use it as a cellphone?
