I hear you on that. My Tytn's 3G is completely useless, sure Rogers has a 3G network but to use it would mean an $1100 a month phone bill. Honestly I think they're avoiding/delaying the iPhone so they aren't forced to bring their data plans down to reasonable (and global) rates. Obviously if the iPhone was say $50 a month for unlimited data all of the Blackberry users currently paying $100s would shit their pants and their goes all of Rogers HUGE and unreasonable profits. I wish we had a reasonable GSM provider here, Fido was knackered when Rogers bought them and is now next to useless. I wish someone like Tmobile or even (gasp) the deathstar would move up here and light a fire under Rogers. Then we'd have decent rates and more cutting edge phones. After all, Canadian contract phones are horrible.
arrgh, that's my 2 cents.
I apologize if my rant is disjointed and incoherent, Rogers literally makes my blood pressure rise.
