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,
president, Rogers Wireless. "With iPhone 3G, we will provide our customers
with an amazing mobile experience over Canada's fastest wireless network."
"We're excited to be working with Rogers to bring iPhone 3G to Canada,"
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
availability will be available soon.

Rogers will carry it, I heard Fido might too. I'm on Rogers, but I know I'd fuck that phone up if I got one. I just broke my LG shine. I think I'm gonna downgrade to a Nokia 5310.
-
If they can upgrade these things and get some goddam buttons I'll considering buying one.

Along with the iPhone 3G, Apple also released iPhone software 2.0. This software comes installed on the iPhone 3G and OG iPhone users can upgrade for free (which I did). iPod touch users can upgrade for $10.
2.0 makes improvements in certain areas, but the biggest is the ability to officially install 3rd party applications on the phone. You can do so by going the the App Store within iTunes. Many application are free... as a matter of fact, the following screenshots are all from free applications (other than the $4.99 Texas Hold'em which was well worth it.)
Apple made two applications: Remote & Texas Hold'em. Remote is free and Texas Hold'em is $4.99. Both apps are amazing and show off the iPhone's capabilities...

Light Saber (makes use of the accelerometer in the iPhone to make cool light saber sounds... totally non-productive, but very cool anyway)
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/ozir/link%20images/IMG_0049.png)
Some of the coolest apps are the Facebook app and the MySpace app... they work really well. I didn't post any screens because of the personal names and stuff on there... but they are really well made.
There's a ton more applications at the App Store... many are free... some you have to pay... most are under $10.
I bought my iPhone June 29, 2007... the first day they came out last year. With this software update and free applications it feels like I have a new phone.
