Why after MacWorld?

Jobs said iPhone will launch in Canada the next time a Canadian team wins the Stanley Cup ;)

Hehe, couldn't resist when I saw you're from Edmonton, I'm from Vancouver.

Yeah, I'd love the iPhone to come here with AT&T type plans unlike the scraps that Fido and Rogers throws to us. I read that the new iPhones come with firmware 1.1.2 and can't be unlocked so I guess I'm stuck waiting ... now with firmware 1.1.3 coming out it seems Apple has the upper hand on hackers.

I say blame Roger's monopoly on the GSM network (they own Fido), the lack of Canadian consumer protection against such monopoly and their questionable practices (ex: Roger's internet throttling vs advertisements), and Roger's expensive data plans.

If anything, I have a feeling Waterloo's RIM has something to do with it.

Stanley Cup eh? Anaheim had more Canadians on it than Ottawa did last year, lol does that count? :p

I'd be guessing that if it doesn't come at Macworld I'm giving up hope. Someday I dream of a country that doesn't charge $10 per kilobyte of data.

Does anyone think that the iPhone could come to Canada after Macworld? :)

Macworld 2008? or 2009?

1.1.2 can be used with StealthSIM....

I gave up on this happening, and also have an unlocked iPhone. On balance, it is better to have a non-upgradable iPhone than not have one at all, but would really like to have it in Canada, especially when release of the SDK starts bearing fruit.
