Iphone in Canada?

[bonafide]

I've searched and I've yet to find it...

What service is going to bring the iPhone to Canada? Any news.. any plans?

I assume it'll be Rogers because they are the only GSM capable company I know....

Rogers AT&T will be the only cell provider in Canada that will have the rights to sell the iPhone other than the various Apple stores.

Dates are not set when they will have them in stores and Rogers at this moment does not know if they will change the prices on their data plan. So no real use to buy this phone yet. Only advantage is that its WiFi so thats good.

Rogers is the only network capable of such phone. Fido, well it's really Rogers now, but the network isn't large enough. Telus and the others are all CDMA.

Btw, Rogers is the equivalent of Cingular.

What does that mean, equivalent? Networth, size in area etc or meaning one and the same company?

Also, any word when itunes will finally get movies in the Canadian store? This really sucks.

When I meant equivalent, I meant like Rogers is the Cinglar in Canada. Sorry for the confusion

Un-confirmed
