I am so sick and tired of getting ripped off, while the rest of the world uses open GSM cell phones that are totally portable, and CHEAP!!! When will the marketing GURUS realize that offering options and flexibility coupled with affordable prices will actually make them MORE MONEY?? I currently use Rogers, as both Bell and Telus suck as well, but will not upgrade to the iPhone that I've been looking forward to since the keynote that introduced it until they get their head of of their '@&&' and treat us like human beings. I honor contracts so as soon as I'm done with Rogers...Koodo here I come. Why can’t canadian cell phone companies crawl out of their cave and join the rest of the world in the 21st century????

No UNLIMITED Data plan for iPhone Well Rogers has done it again, showing it's yellow monopolistic teeth! 2GB of Data per month with the $115 Package? This is highway robbery! Are these corporate bloodsuckers for real? All this is stemming from he fact that there are no competition for Rogers in Canada! No other GSM Service Provider! I was planning to at least buy 3 iPhone 3Gs, but I changed my mind! No iPhone till Rogers stops this draconian pricing for their data plan! What is hard to understand is this: Why Rogers has such a problem with DATA? Why? At least can they stop issuing decrees and actually explain to their clients why they are so stingy with their data bandwidth? May be also explain to us why the majority of Service Providers selling iPhone can sell their phones with an unlimited data plan? Only 2GB a Month? This is a disgrace and it shows what Rogers really thinks about their Canadian Customers! They truly think that we are stupid & ignorant and that we neither know - nor are we capable of learning anything! Well I have news for you, Rogers: WE ARE NOT! I am canceling my plans for purchasing 3 iPhone 3G, until they offer UNLIMITED Data Plan! I am sure that most people, after finding out what Rogers is really doing, will cancel their plans as well. So I guess it was all for nothing to wait a full year for the arrival of iPhone to Canada! :( Knowing about Rogers underhanded decision not to offer UNLIMITED data plan, Apple should have NEVER given iPhone sells rights to Rogers in the first place! Unlimited Data has been the cornerstone of Apple's agreement for allowing a Service Provider to sell iPhone. Rogers held out for a full year, knowing that they have the monopoly on GSM market, and Apple gave up, which is very uncharacteristic of Apple. I guess Apple doesn't care about their it's Canadian Clients either! Rogers has done it again! No UNLIMITED Data plan for iPhone

Its a beautiful thing and the only way Rogers can do well with the iphone would be to do the same. SMart people will just stick to Bell and use their $30 per month unlimited data plan.
