Via News1130.com:

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – It may be a while yet before Canadians get to use an iPhone. Rogers Communications has the only network in the country capable of supporting current iPhone technology, and says it still has no word from Apple for a release date here.

UPDATE: now there is a free unlock as well. (link to the tutorial – not for the faint of heart or cmdline)

Sony Speaker Dock for iPhone mini-review

I’ve been thinking about upgrading my clock radio for awhile now and have been looking at the various units with iPod docks built in. I knew that the iPhone had issues with many third party docks/clock radios because of the interference the GSM radio puts out. Not to mention the issue of incompatible docks meant…

iPhone finally coming to Canada on Rogers in 2008

ByJohn

It’s about time. Unfortunately no details other than it’s coming ‘before the end of the year’. The big questions to me are: How much for the phone itself in Canada? what does the data and voice plans look like? They better resemble the US pricing How long do we have to lock in? Rogers seems…
