iPHONE COMING TO CANADA

July 11th is iPHONE day in Canada - finally! We’ve waited long enough for this awesome new device that will make communication freaks even more addicted to the latest Apple toy. So what is this new phone that so many people are raving about? Well, it is not just a phone. Its your latest iPod, rolled into a cell phone, rolled into a GPS system and more! It can play music accessing your iTunes, display images, take photos, allow you to watch movies, use your Calendar, check your stocks, use the calculator and access the internet. Don’t get so caught up that you forget this new toy can be used as a mobile phone! This sounds like the greatest thing since sliced bread. I for one can’t wait to buy one. Or will I? I was all ready to ditch my Bell plan until I heard that Rogers is making it so darn expensive that average Joe who doesn’t mind paying $199 for the iPhone, will think twice (or twenty times) about the $70 minimum monthly rate plan or the top rate plan of $115. Of course, whose cell phone bill ever is the amount your rate plan quotes you? There are always extras. So now like many other communication addicts, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I’ve joined over 60 000 Canadian consumers who are petitioning Rogers to bring their Canadian plan more in line with other countries’ data plans. http://www.ruinediphone.com/ Let’s see if they will bow to pressure. Stay tuned.
