Rogers never got the first gen iPhone, it's never been officially
available in Canada.. where did you get information that they
released it back in December?? They ARE releasing the iPhone 3G
tomorrow morning at 9am:

The story about iPhones not being available in Apple stores is Apple's response to the ridiculous iPhone plans that Rogers announced a couple of weeks ago. They've since announced a more reasonable $30 6GB add-on to any voice plan.. not sure where the Apple store situation stands now.

A little fact-checking goes a long way.

As a former Rogers Customer Service Rep (and my girlfriend still being one), we kept getting "Dates" for the iphone release. It was originally going to be november. Then December. Then January. Then i heard nothing until the news broke elsewhere.

Now the funny thing is, you like the unofficial apple blog as your source, but here is what the source says:

AppleInsider is reporting that Apple won't be selling the iPhone 3G in its 6 Canadian retail stores this Friday. This seems to be confirmed by Apple Canada's 'Where to buy an iPhone' webpage which lists *******Rogers and Fido stores as the only locations to buy an iPhone******** (the same page in the States lists both Apple stores and AT&T stores) in Canada.

Also, according to your source, it's only the U.S Apple stores that you can purchase the iPhone from. No other apple store will carry them.]]>Jul 10th 2008 12:30PM
