a Treo user that I know told me that Rogers has a data plan
that gives you 1GB of transfer for $65 a month. It’s
intended for “non-Blackberry” phones and wireless
data cards. You basically have a wireless handheld pda in your
hand. Rogers may not allow you to use this service becuse thay
will tell you that the iPhone is not supported…
But then you knew that when you bought the phone and hooked it
up on Rogers! Didn’t you?
$65 bucks a month! Yahoo!
Bye bye Blackberry!
BTW I just read that Rogers may have them as early as January
18, 2007

A friend of mine claims that he recieved an activated iPhone
out of Buffalo and that he was able to put in his Rogers SIM
and make calls. He didn’t get any other functions such
as wifi going. Someone offered him $1,500 and the phone was
gone…
DVD John has managed to hack the activation. The iPhone ships
completely inoperable, until iTunes is used to send a token
back to Apple. Apple then returns the instruction that enables
all of the iPhone’s functions. The hack allows users to
pretend to be the apple server and instructs the phone to
activate locally.
We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our iPhone’s in
Canada. Of course the issues at hand are what portions will
actually work up here… Willl we have to get an American
cell account?
I would expect that we can use the WiFi feature to access the
phone’s data feature. The other problem is whether
Rogers will realize that they can’t dictate terms of use
to Apple Inc. Since Rogers is the only GSM acrrier in Canada
this poses a problem…
