I sent Rogers an e-mail a week ago, and finally got a reply... Nothing groundbreaking, but it does say they are talking with apple and that they will get it...

as soon as possible and will be the exclusive provider of the iPhone in
Canada

(2008)

" Please be advised that Rogers will be offering the iPhone exclusively
in Canada

If this is an actual email response from Rogers, my name is Jobs, Steve Jobs.

It is... why would you doubt it? This is the same form letter they have been using to reply to people with since January. It's all over the net from many different people posting it.

No offense to the original poster, but there is nothing new here. They have been sending this email out for 9 months now. Notice it says nothing of release dates.

I am not convinced that they are going to get it, to be honest. Sure, they are the only GSM network in Canada, but there is no way that Apple is going to agree with their outrageous data plans. Until Rogers gives on that the iPhone ain't coming to Canada.
