Full FeedCanada, you may finally be getting Apple’s iPhone, you can now rejoice!
Rogers Communications Inc, the only Canadian carrier with a GSM network, was hoping to include the iPhone in a touch screen phone campaign they were planning to launch around May or July. Now, neither side is talking and there hasn’t been any official statements yet, but a source has mentioned that Rogers and Apple are close to signing an agreement. As for the history, Rogers initially said it would have the iPhone, but never made any actual deal. The most likely reason for this is the fact that Rogers doesn’t like unlimited data plans and typically has higher charges for their data plans.
So is this just another rumor to boost you hope again, or do you think Rogers will actually release the iPhone at the above mentioned time? I personally hope this rumor is in fact true because I would love to see my Canadian friends and all of their friends able to get the iPhone. They have waited long enough and Apple is missing out on quite a few customers up there.

iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.

As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Apparently Rogers now has an unlimited mobile internet plan, but charges extra for 3rd party apps that would run on the device.
As well I have heard form a reliable source that Rogers has “something better” planned for this summer roll out. They may not even offer the Iphone as they are convinced that whatever it is they are going to offer is better. Obviously they don’t understand what we want. They’re probably just going to add a couple no-name touch screens along with a new crackberry and call it a day.
My source is sniffing around for the day, I’ll post another comment later.
