Canada To iPhone, Rogers!

Forbes reports that the iPhone is coming to Canada and the provider of choice is Rogers Communications. Rogers made this announcement today together with the release of its first quarter results.
Rogers is Canada’s leading carrier. It will give Apple access to around 6 million post paid subscribers.
The article hints about the fact that the 3G version of the iPhone is slated to come out soon. The lack of details provided by Rogers might suggest that they are awaiting a new version of the iPhone, hence they need to wait for Apple to release the details.
It’s great that Canada will soon see the iPhone. This hopefully is the start of more international releases of the iPhone this year. Philippines puh-lease be one of them.. I doubt though…
The only reason Rogers got the iPhone was because they can only support it. No other company in Canada can support because other companies do not have a SIM CARD.
This is not a victory win for Rogers, it is a default win.
Personally, I hate Rogers, because their customer service is horrible. Their employees are all rude, yes even if you do not yell at them.
Ah.. sorry to hear that. I’m not familiar with Canadian Telcos. So I can’t really comment. I’ll take your word for it though. :)
Other Canadian users care to chime in?
