thats ridic!
god i can't afford that right now
i am going to wait and buy that
hopefully rogers sees that and allows iphone 3g buyers to do an early upgrade if possible!
 
I could easily write an essay about price gouging by Canadian mobile providers.

1. 3 year contracts
2. $7 monthly access fees
3. $7 for call display
4. Ridiculous data rates
5. Awful minutes per $ plans

Can't say I'm surprised. The sad thing is Bell and Telus are as bad if not worse and CDMA. Fido's improved but other than the iPhone and Pearl has a terrible selection and you still have to wait a lifetime to get out of a current contract.
 
I'm not surprised at all.

Rogers overcharges for everything.

Canadian wireless companies are out of control.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with them anymore.
 
Yeah, I work for Rogers too, and I am definitely not surprised by the pricing. At least employees get half off on phone plans...that's SOMETHING, right? :rolleyes: Oh well, I'm still getting my first Canadian iPhone this Friday, gonna ask my manager if he can hold a white 32GB for me, since we do not have pre-orders. :D

The bad thing about the no contract pricing is...at least for people that are coming off contract or people just joining, they won't be able to take advantage of the $30 6GB data plan, since that is only available on a contract. (If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. Source)
