The two guys working there had never heard of the rumor, nor had they heard of the other rumor that Rogers was already offering an iPhone plan to anyone who had brought an iPhone from the US : 3 months free data but lock-in for 3 years to whatever data plan they were going offer. None of that was confirmed. One of the guys, however, had an unlocked iPhone with him that he had hacked (and hadn't upgraded the firmware, of course). They said that they hoped the data plan would be as low as $50 a month for the data. You read that right. <em>as low as</em> $50 a month (rather than what it would probably be without Apple's pressure for a more reasonable price: $200 a month. With numbers like that, the phone truly is a fraction of the cost (as it is now with other plans which practically give away a crappy phone for free or a few dollars). I agree, Rogers and Telus can charge whatever they want, and do. I stopped at one of Rogers’ consumer stores over the weekend.

There should be more carriers in Canada... Rogers and Telus can pretty much charge whatever they want b/c of the monopoly. And Rogers will probably charge $150/month for voice & data plan.

I've seen a 3 to 5 fold increase over the US mobile providers on some blog postings. This will be very interesting Apple = Mercedes instead of Apple = Saturn.
