June 28, 2008If I seem like I’m focusing on the iPhone in Canada situation a lot, I apologize — but obviously, this is a topic that hits where it hurts for both me and Jody, and for millions of other Canadians from what I’m reading.
Virtually no one is happy with Rogers’ rates, and the displeasure ranges from [...]

June 19, 2008Those of you who thought we were done with the 3G rumours — well, you’ll just have to endure related ones a bit longer. We’re a Canadian site after all, so this is of particular interest to those of us in the Great Not-So-White North.
Seems that a Rogers Wireless retail employee received a voluminous tome [...]

June 19, 2008Rumour time! You know the drill. Keep your heads up and noses sniffing for the scent of BS. This time we have a completely unsubstantiated “leak” of an internal Rogers memo that allegedly breaks down the iPhone data plans and pricing information.
HowardForums member i.Fido, who is fairly well respected around there, claims [...]

June 16, 2008Us Canucks pretty much knew that Rogers will be tailoring a special data plan for the iPhone when it gets released on July 11th, but about all we’ve been able to get out of their mouth on the subject was an effective “no comment.”
Today, Rogers parted the veil — just enough to let a crack [...]

June 11, 2008Apple was kind enough to dedicate a sole Apple web page to the huge list of 70 countries they have made deals to bring the iPhone 3G to within the year.
The list of countries supporting the iPhone 3G can be found here.
The web page shows a list of countries mass-releasing the iPhone 3G on July [...]

June 10, 2008Eric just wrote about Rogers’ big secret yesterday, stating that we Canadians would have something new on July 11th. Does that date mean anything to you? Of course, if you’ve been paying any attention at all, you’d know by now that July 11th is the set date for the world-wide release of Apple’s iPhone 3G.
Well, [...]

June 9, 2008You see that banner image up there? What do you suppose that big ol’ mysterious silhouetted device is that’s coming out July 11th? Yes, I’m being deliberately obtuse, because you’d have to be a complete moron not be able to do that kind of math: Rogers + Big Reveal on July 11th = [...]

June 4, 2008The Harper government has sunk to a new low. Now, since he has taken office, Harper and his goons have been fairly vanilla as world leaders go. But proposed new amendments to the Canadian Copyright Act, secretly crafted in back-room dealings and carefully shielded from the prying eyes of the Canadian people, and [...]

May 23, 2008While the general rumours of the iPhone 2.0 are really starting to come in thick and fast, rumours surrounding the iPhone’s release in Canada are also starting to materialize in a more rapid fashion.
Today it was revealed that Ontario Apple Store employees are being asked to make a special trip down to their Markham regional [...]

May 17, 2008I Just spoke with a Rogers store associate minutes ago, and was informed that the release date for the iPhone in Canada is in fact the third quarter of 2008, which would, in turn, force the story just below this one to be true as well.
The employee received an e-mail from Rogers corporate just recently, [...]

May 17, 2008It was 5:20pm, and I had but 40 minutes to get to Futureshop. I had to walk it, having no car insurance at this very time. I grabbed my iPod Touch, slapped on some tunes, lit a smoke, and the journey began. I got to Futureshop at 5:50pm. The store was to close in not [...]

May 13, 2008According to a representative I spoke to over the phone, Rogers Wireless employees working the telemarketing centers - or, at least the man I spoke with - know nothing about the upcoming Apple iPhone coming to Canada.
The representative I spoke with even went as far as searching multiple systems, and was unable to find any [...]

April 29, 2008Good lord ‘n butter, but it’s been frustrating watching Apple try and bring Rogers Communications into the fold only to have ol’ Teddy Boy try and bargain his way to greater wealth at the expense of Canadian pocketbooks. And this is entirely aside from the trademark issues with small-time VoIP peddlers Comwave.
Nevertheless, the Toronto [...]

April 19, 2008Earlier this evening, I was in conversation with my ex-girlfriend, whom is now working at Rogers Wireless, and has been for just less than a month.
Putting aside the fact that she is my ex-girlfriend, she wouldn’t lie about something like this, especially considering she’s the one that brought it up anyway.
Here is a snip of [...]
