This is quite amazing! However, dealing with Rogers to get AN iPhone when it was first released was HELL. Many dealers absolutely refused to sell iPhones to existing customers (since commission for new customers is much higher than for upgrades). I went to 4 Rogers dealerships in one day and only one was willing to sell me the iPhone, but the "system" was down (remember that?) so they refused to do so, one other dealership said they would call me when they have them in stock (and never did). So I contacted Rogers 1800 number. That was the easiest phone purchase experience I dealt in a long time. I didn't have to go several kilometres in Quebec City (where I was located) anymore, I was able to have my iPhone ordered in less than half an hour while talking to the man from Montreal over the phone who was placing my order, he was friendly to talk to, sold the iPhone for $399 before taxes (concidering I only did an upgrade 10 months earlier) for a 16GB model, and made a few jokes about how my school where I was living at "sucked" because his school was rival to my school (where I was only living at this time.. not studying at).
11 days later I received the iPhone, main reason why it took so long was because UPS was hell to deal with, they didn't know where to send the package, so I ended up going all the way to the boonies to pick up my iPhone at their warehouse.. and after picking up my iPhone in the boonies near Jean Lesage airport, a friend and I went to a local Tim Hortons and checked out the iPhone, while two middle aged Quebecois men were drooling about the phone from across the building.
I just wish Rogers had more supply when it was released, and I will never deal with a dealer ever again, now only sticking with buying phones through Rogers via phone, being a customer for over 5 years and being treated as if my money didn't matter is just flat out rude.
Also.. I wish Rogers retained the 6GB data plan.. that was a sweet deal, but Rogers needs to improve 3G coverage.. I don't live in Toronto or Quebec City (anymore) or Vancouver or Regina, so I "can't" get 3G service because Rogers is insanely slow to expand
