Fido is using Rogers Network
Videotron is using Rogers Network (without data)
Actually, the $499 is the monthly fee for the Rogers voice/data plan...![]()
If Apple were to release a CDMA iPhone (Anyone who thinks a CDMA version doesn't exist in a lab in Cupertino is clueless) for the Japan market, that might help start a bidding war between Rogers and Bell for Canadian rights.
I'm debating whether I should just get an iPod touch and keep my razr or go get an iPhone...but I don't feel like playing the cat and mouse game with apple vs. hackers, and always having to worry if the next update will brick my iPhone.
First, The ad is a fake, as I design loyalty program coalition email ads for Rogers, as per Rogers specifications, you're not allowed to split their logo (rogers circle top right and rogers wordmark at bottom right), secondly this is not a Rogers style ad and typography and font sizes would not be approved by legal dept. Even, if someone tipped about Rogers iPhone release date, the ad would not look like this. Whoever designed this amateurish ad was probably tipped and wanted to jump the gun first.
Second, CRTC which stands for "Communism Radio and Telecommunications Commission", they simply tell what Canadians can watch and hear, and what we should have and pay for. This is BS democracy, in democracy you should be able to watch what you want. Instead we get communist monopoly!
I just got off the phone with a Rogers rep who confirmed that they had gotten an internal memo advising that December was being targetted for the release of the iPhone. She also mentioned that she (and we) could expect another memo a little later in the month, around November 20th or so she said, as they would need time internally for training and customers would need time to preorder....
Telus is using Bell Network
If TELUS got the iPhone, I would slit my wrists.
hahaha. i wish rogers werent nazis so we could have a real confrimation from them, evne if its a 'preorder for january' type thing D:

So if a rival company is releasing a product in time for the Christmas season to challenge the iPhone, does that mean Rogers will be making an announcement soon? Or is Rogers going to completely drop the ball and miss a big purchasing season? The saga continues...Torstar News Service said:With the iPhone expected to land in the lap of a key rival, Bell Canada is hoping to make its own splash by offering a competing touch-screen device. Bell is hoping to boost sales of its new HTC Touch smartphone this Christmas by offering voice subscribers the option of purchasing a $7 optional plan that adds unlimited access to e-mail and the internet.
Actually, you have that backwards. Bell only has a network in Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Other than that they use TELUS towers/network.
