Why i’m not getting an iPhone in Canada
Rogers has ruined it all (as suspected), and it looks like the data erartes have been finally revealed to the world thanks to our friends at engadget. Rogers will NOT be offering unlimited data plans (and thus all my ideas of 3g exploitation have been crushed). What a terrible birthday gift rogers BOO.
Heres the link with detailed information on the plans:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/rogers-announces-iphone-3g-plans-unlimited-data-isnt-one-of-th/
here is just a small excerpt if you dont want to link. I think its really funny how rogers tries to tell you how many pictures of web pages you can go to. Just another step back for Canadian advancements in technology.

Im starting to not want to get one know where is the unlimited data plan Rogers come on!
This really sucks. I can’t wait until some cheap technology comes out or another provider. People won’t forget Rogers. They have a horrible name, people just dislike them and won’t forget that when their are other options.
it’s so lame how there are no unlimited data plans. it makes me really mad too.
