3 years and $80/month.. NO THANKS!
The 3G iphone will be OUTDATED after a year! If not, the battery will die down after 2 years. After that, you will have to get another phone and stuck in contact for another few years... hmmmmmm..

3 years is WAY TOO LONG!... I am not getting one! LOL~ I won't be surprise that iphone won't be sold out on the first day.

$30 unlimited data only applies to iPhone + 3 Year contract + $199/299.

^^Those plans apply to Berries, Tethering and WM phones.

15 or 20 and you want unlimited internet????

highly doubtful.... maybe when data is more mainstreamed... right now barely any users actually use data... but 30 unlimited for the iphone is really an improvement..

even the 30 for 300 for regular phones is a BIG improvement... it was 60 for 25 MB before... we're getting there... just keep waiting... it's a positive change

I'm just wondering if you can buy the phone without the dataplan but still sign a 2 or 3 year contract with it.

uhh...thats for first gen iPhones only. No one knows if the 3G iPhone is unlockable yet, you'll probably have to wait a bit, unless they used the same baseband/radio hardware as before.

Thats exactly what I mean. If they want data plan to be more mainstream. They have to set the price lower. $30 extra a month, I dont think that many people would even consider to consider, assuming you can get this plan for all phones.

I guess rogers is just raking in the cash as they know apple lovers would pay for that regardless~~

I don't want to be a downer because I love the iPhone and will look forward to the 3G one but does anyone find it odd that the "leaked Rogers memo" from the OP is eerily familiar to the "leaked AT&T memo"? Just looking at the two, they are identical. Word for word with the except that AT&T is changed to Rogers/Fido and 2 year contract is changed to 3 year contract. They even copied AT&T's 3G speeds of 1.4 Mpbs. Roger's MotoQ 3G phone is listed as up to 3.6 Mbps. So how does the MotoQ 3G end up being faster than the iPhone 3G? Just curious.

The US have always had better cell phone plans than us (rollover minutes, affordable data, outrageous amounts of texts) so I'm not so sure Rogers/Fido is willing to offer an exact plan to us like AT&T would. They just have to rip us off a little bit. Or else they wouldn't be called Robbers hehe Yeah that's bad. I know.
