I think the bigger picture here is that there's going to be better competition. No more GSM monopoly by Rogers!

Rogers loses GSM monopoly
GSM is voice, HSPA is data
the iphone is full GSM/HSPA and not like the palmpre where it runs CDMA voice with 3g data!

Confirmed, Mr. darthchilli. The press also talked about Bell rolling out GSM for the Olympics this morning (roaming agreements or not?  ).

Correct, Telus and Bell spent a billion dollars building a coast to coast UMTS network. The project was finished ahead of schedule, dealing with my corporate Bell rep late last year he gave me the heads up that this was coming down the pipe.

Finally - iPhone!

Anyone have any idea if this iPhone will work with Telus' existing towers? I spend half my time in Iqaluit Nunavut, where they just recently acquired cell service, nevermind this fancy shmancy HS... whatever the acronym is..

Telus and Bell built a new UMTS/HSDPA network, it is not compatible with with regular GSM phones, only 3G GSM phones and newer devices. Because the iPhone 3G and 3GS are both 3G GSM phones they will work on the new network.... but they wont work on the old CDMA network... as far as coverage in Nunavut goes Im not really sure, if there is CDMA only then you will be SOL.

I'm assuming it is only the old CDMA network... Hmm I'll have to talk to a Telus rep.
