OMG EXACTLY. About time, I was in this heated arguement in the VOT Forums about the iPhone 3G being "So Cheap". I explicitly said that the 199 will be on a 3 year term, but I go many arguements against that... so... TAKE THAT! Seriously, $699 without the 3 year term sounds more like it.

I sound so...childish. heh.

I already broke my iPhone...

So..Who is getting one?? :eek: :D

lol, nobody is gonna get one now.

those plans suck balls

ill stick to my $25 for 250 weekday min and unlimited after 6 and weekends and free call display.

sigh I guess I will be keeping my 903 long time :)

holy.. that will be $85+ (Caller ID included) monthly bill for 3 years just to get an iphone! No Sorry, I am backing off!! Good luck to Rogers and Apple.
Blackberry, here I come... mostly I need it for emails, nothing else.

$3260 (3 years cost) instead of $1260 (my 3 years)... $2000 more for iphone over 3 years.. NO WAY!!!

I hope you can get this without a data plan.

^^^ I heard you have to get a data plan -.-'''

time to get a regular phone and an ipod touch

LOLOLOLOL this is awesome i got everyone asking me about the plan and when i tell them they all said FUCK IT no matter how much they love apple

Evenings start at 9pm :(

evenings starting at 9pm isn't a new thing with rogers.

Bleh... if data plan is required.. forget it.

this is the packaged plan
no clue if u can build u own voice n data package

My friend says they aren't releasing their iPhones till July 11th.

LOL. . . Rogers really knows how to screw people up the arse (without the Vaseline too) haha. . . pathetic plans for a phone that really does require unlimited data option. Using the GPS feature, streaming a few videos, music, google maps downloads, and not to mention any other downloads you may do. . . easily go over 400mb a month. I like to see how many people actually will sign up for the iPhone through Fido/Rogers. The iPhone is very cool indeed and a nice status symbol for young people but the way Rogers has priced it, affording one and willing to pay $100/month is just not worth it compared to what else is available out there.

^^^
im betting next september i'll be seeing ALOT of grade 8s with the iphone -.-''

Stop throwing things in that drawer! :haha:
Amen!

the pricing is considered "OK"!... but for 3 years locked-in contract... not worth it at all.
Cause the 3G iPhone will be outdated in one year. You might upgrade to another newer iphone, and signed another 3 years for it? ....

I'll think about it if only required 1-2 years contract. Not 3 years!

I know all the 3G iPhone stuff has been beaten to death, but I just wanted to know about the 2.0 upgrade for the old iPhone. With this upgrade, won't all v1.0 owners get the new Google Maps GPS version? I know that the GPS function in the new iPhone also features GPS calculations by cellphone towers and even WiFi. Could those features be useable by the old iPhone?

nope cant. doesnt have gps

If you run firmware 1.1.4, you do have GPS. If you use google maps, you can locate yourself. Sure it's not going to be some fancy real time GPS unit that is showing you your exact move, but hey, who really needs that?

I just came across this article, about the rogers iphone plan. not sure if its any new or old news to anyone here, but take it for what it is.

"These rates are just another indicator that Canadian cellphone rates are really high and that essentially the carriers feel like they can charge whatever they like," she said. "Rates should be going down, they shouldn't be going up, and these are expensive rates."

rofl 150 minutes and no unlimited data, what a joke.
150 mins + shitty e/w @ 9pm + 400mb = $60 + 6.95 + 7 (CID) + 0.50 + taxes = $84
umm no thanks.
