Excellent choice of picture :D
"looks nice... just wish it were 3g"

Err..."we've got GPRS / EDGE / UMTS / HSDPA"
My comment was in jest, of course, but I'd be highly surprised if the iphone isn't more expensive here. Something like $50-100 - enough for you to get the feeling that Rogers has fucked you over (yet again), but not enough for most people to go to the trouble of getting it from the states.
Prediction for Canada: $499 with a 3 contract. $99 a month will buy you 200 minutes, a 100 megabytes and leftover scraps from Ted Rogers' dinner table.
$599 with a 3 year contract while Ted Rogers holds a gun to your newborn's head and slaps your wife around.

Standard Rogers contract really...
I am tired of the horrible lies posted on Engadget. Steve Jobs does not believe in shirts, it will be a turtleneck folding seminar.
173Mbps and Rogers will still be charging us $20 for 5mb and $1 per kilobyte afterwards.
BlackBerry Curve.

I'm sorry but the iPhone is not a smartphone. No SDK -> no smartphone. It may be sleek, beautiful, powerful etc, but it doesn't do what you want it to do - it does what Steve Jobs wants it to do.
Due to Canada's lower gini coefficient and recent gains of the CAD, median household income in Canada is now much higher than in the US.

What this means simply is that your average Canadian is better off than your average American, despite some technically correct but very misleading indicators like GPD/capita.
Fav scene is when he kicks the messenger into a pit.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
