Apparently even Apple is pissed with Rogers:

Local news here could only find 1 guy standing outside a rogers at 7am. I'm not even sure the stores here will have any. Isn't it just select stores in major cities?

The day is upon us, right now there are probably 75 people lined up at Bloor and Jarvis rogers store, by the head office.
suckers... waiting in the rain. ha

ha I guess they do have limited stock:
"The much-anticipated iPhone goes on sale this Friday at select Rogers Plus stores in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Halifax, Calgary and Vancouver."

So judging from the way this is worded:

You can the $30 charge to any existing monthly rate plan... that may not be too bad.

It's also sad that Rogers purchased Fido. They were the only ones who actually had really great deals and amazing customer service. Now they're just Rogers, high prices and shitty service.

I get a free phone from work, I have no interest in an iPhone and incurring an extra $100 bucks a month, or $1200 a year.
I'm actually canceling my Rogers account my wife has. There are better deals out there and Rogers has left a really bad taste in my mouth the way they've handled all of this. I don't care to give them any more of my money.

How many of you here are going to cave in and sign up?

Rogers came out with a band aid today to deflect all of the shit being thrown their way. I guess it's better, but still pretty pathetic.
Rogers is like, here is the plan that everyone wants, but we're only going to make available for 1 month, and you have to buy a new iPhone 3G. So screw all you other people using BB's, Treo's etc. And screw anyone who signs up after Aug. 11.
Pathetic.

The sad thing about this whole kerfuffle is that its the largest public outcry I've seen in Canada and its over a fucking iphone rate.
If people in Canada put this sorta energy into something important, I would be astonished.

Telus and Bell suck too:

Under the new plans, customers will be charged 15 cents to receive incoming text messages, including uninvited spam messages.

I was going to buy one. But I'm not willing to pay those prices especially on a 3 year mandatory plan. And with no long distance plan. And with evenings starting at 9pm.
Telus' smart plans have unlimited data add ons from $30-45 a month.
