If you want to discuss the iPhone goto that forum.


I called yesterday and complained to apple, Eaton Centre store has phones (but won't sell them) and meanwhile PAYING CUSTOMERS like me have not had ipod touch unit shipped, couldn't get $$ back, or free applecare or anything, all she would let me do is "File a complaint"

As my ship date is like everyone elses... The 28th.

do you mean they have iPhone's in store?!!!! how do u know that?
 
I ordered my Touch on the 6th. It still says it hasn't shipped yet. This is getting pretty ridiculous. I wouldn't care about the wait so much if basically everyone south of the border wasn't getting their's now.

Seems as if Apple doesn't care for Canada's small market, or something. No iPhone and late shipping Touches...
 
Just called the Eaton Centre Store

It looks like they're not budging on the September 28th date. Their response is it will be RELEASED on the 28th, not before. So even if they have them, I doubt they're going to sell any which is really stupid IMO.

Maybe they can't get the online orders shipped yet so they're holding off on releasing in the store to avert the BS going on in the US (Stores getting before pre-orders)
 
There's an unlimited data plan at Rogers? since when? The best plan I see is 500MB, and that's $210/month! Excluding voice!


I think the unlimited plan was with blackberries last i check(since RIM is out of waterloo, ON, they may have something there).

But all in all, i have a feeling the iphone will not make it to canada until 2 years at least later.
 
if you live in Toronto and have time to drive to Buffalo do that....with Canadian dollar even with US dollar you will save about $75 on the price.

I was looking at Blackberry plans too, I think they topped out at even less (75mb).
 
I traded a bunch of Air Miles for Future Shop gift certificates to take a chunk out of the Ipod Touch price when they get there, but with this long wait and the fact that I could just skip on down to Washington State and pick up one right now for $50 less, I'm somewhat regretting it.
 
I respectfully disagree.

Many people need data plans in this day and age.

Who really NEEDS a data plan outside of business use. That's why I think its mostly business customers (I could be wrong). I'd love to pick up a smartphone, even if it's not an iPhone, but I can't justify the insane rates, and I don't see how anyone could unless they were using it for work.

All of the data plans out there currently in Canada screw the consumer.

People are stuck going with one of them out necessity.

You'll enjoy this link, then (I found it on the Rogers site, btw):

My opinion is Rogers has no need to change their pricing scheme. The industry is price fixed, if you will, and all the companies are profiting hand over fist from it.

Yup, I doubt any of the Canadian providers will be changing their plans any time soon, which is really unfortunate. It'd probably be cheaper for me to sign up with AT&T in Michigan then to get on a Rogers data plan :)

So, in order for Apple & Rogers to sign an agreement Rogers would have to slash their prices big time for an unlimited plan.... reducing income. Secondly, they would have to give Apple a share of its revenue on those new iPhone plans... further reducing revenue.

Or, they keep it the same with their GSM monopoly and continue screwing the consumer.

I would love to be proven wrong, but I am not hopeful.

I think we'd all love to see you proven wrong :) Not counting on it, though! I think the best we can hope for is for someone else to set up a GSM network in Canada.

Back on topic, my order still says Not yet shipped :mad:
