Rogers and Apple to Bring iPhone 3G to Canada on July 11

    WWDC SAN FRANCISCO and TORONTO, June 9 /CNW/ - Rogers Communications and
Apple(R) today announced that the highly anticipated iPhone(TM) 3G will be
available in Canada on July 11. iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary
features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast(*) as the first
generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services,
and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built
with the recently released iPhone SDK.
    "Rogers has a long history of bringing Canadians the very best in
wireless services, networks and handset innovations," said Rob Bruce,

said Tim Cook, Apple's COO. "We can't wait to get this revolutionary phone in
the hands of even more people around the world." iPhone 3G will operate on
Rogers' High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) wireless network, the fastest mobile
network in Canada. HSPA is nationally available in the top Canadian urban
centers from Vancouver to Halifax, covering more than 60 percent of the
population. iPhone 3G will also operate on Roger's coast-to-coast GSM/EDGE
network, proven to be the country's most reliable wireless network. Starting
July 11, iPhone 3G will sell for $199 for the 8Gb model and $299 for the 16Gb
model, on a three-year plan. More details on price plans and retail
