Rogers & iPhone
OK, bothers and sisters, as of 2 minutes ago I was talking to Rogers and was told that the iPhone will be available in "early July" - that is a direct quote from the business support section. The plans will be a phone plus data deal but will not look like the AT&T plans.

Nope. July 2007.July 2012
Nice to hear somebody get the same news I got a while back. ( I posted about it here, though I'll be darned if I can find the thread) What better way to sell them up here then not give anyone a chance to think about the purchase! By the time you realize you don't need one it's ringing in you hand!

Our sister site iPhone Atlas has posted a bevy of information on the iPhone today, including a report that the iPhone will have no functionality without activation (no iPod, nor presumably WiFi), notes that the device's installed software and OS will occupy 750 MB of memory, rate plan details, and news that activation will take place through iTunes rather than in-store.

I heard September via a family member who lives in the US and called Apple in Cupertino. I wrote about it on my blog:
iPhone Canada-bound in September?
I like July better though, but somehow I think that's unrealistic. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though...

hope the data plan is not going to cost us $100.
Again... July is unrealistic, Rogers will not have the supporting software and data plans ready for July.
again, the phone is garbage without network support. i.e. visual voice mail, push emails, high speed data connections, etc.

The people who work for Rogers would know already if it was coming in July (2007). And they say no. It won't be here in July. Unless you were talking to someone who is actually in charge of deploying the phones to stores, unbeknownst to the stores and resellers, it isn't going to happen.
If it was just some customer service representative, or store employee, please, no more.

I'm throwing down the gauntlet here.
I'm saying there is NO way Rogers is going to have the iPhone by the end of July 2007 - and I mean have it ready to sell to walk-in customers by end of business July 31, 2007.
I will chew on any other ehMac member's sweaty gym sock if they do, and post the video on YouTube - BUT only if said ehMac member will chew on my sock if the iPhone DOESN'T appear before the end of July.
Any takers?

I previously posted that I was told an August release by a Rogers employee.
In any case, I'm hoping for an iPhone by year's end.

So it's an old sock in August for adagio!I previously posted that I was told an August release by a Rogers employee.

I received a call yesterday from Rogers because my contract is up in October 07. He was wondering if I would like to renew my contract for some great deals on phones/planes. I advised I was waiting for the iphone and he laughed. He then stated I would be without a phone then for at least a half year after my contract expires. So if this guy knows what he is talking about then it could be sometime 2008. I wish the CEO of either company would just let us know what the status is regarding iphone and Canada.
Again (and again), Rogers is NOT likely to announce a release date the way Apple/AT&T did. Their current sales will die.
You may have been called by someone identifying themselves as "Rogers," but in actuality they work for a third party sales company, using a Rogers list. Their sole purpose is to sell phones now. They may have an iPhone answer ready; they may not.
In any case, this is the worst way to renew your contract, and the worst way to obtain information about upcoming releases, especially this one.
Rogers announces cell phones once they become available for sale, and prepare their employees only a few days before.

Even if Rogers release the iPhone this July what about the data plan.
Monthly Fee ---------- Data Included --- Additional Data Usage / KB
$5.00 ---------------- 5MB ------------- 3¢
$10.00 --------------- 10MB ------------ 3¢
If they release an iPhone I hope they release a Data plan similar to the one's AT&T has.

As a followup from this message, this Friday, I plan to go to the Rogers store in the Rideau Centre and see what they can tell me.
Anyone else get this in the above post?
