iPhones in Canada

Really ? The iPhone is like $400 for the 8GB version through ATT I believe. You can get a Blackberry (Pearl, Curve, 8830) for under $150. Must be cause ATT is trying to push their iPhone sales big time...

No push from ATT at all when I got my phone (last november), I don't even remember seeing it on their website as phones to purchase at that time.

$399 for a Curve

Yes and seriously I didnt do shit to me. My Blackberry 8830 does everything it does and more (exchange server, works on CDMA and GSM networks) ...... and costed 1/3. Again, I could see the "cool factor" for kids in need for approval from peers but that aint my case lol

your blackberry does not have WiFi and you can only use the internet if you have a data plan, meaning extra money. The iPhone has WiFi and you can connect to the internet with no extra charge if you have WiFi access.

It has cool camera options. Very user friendly. Huge screen; ideal for watching movies and viewing pictures. Very sleek looking. Low price, relatively to its options.

What's not to like?

I have unlimited net for my Blackberry so I can actually use it anywhere and not only through a free wi-Fi zone. No need for a camera (other Blackberrys have that gadget). My screen is big enough for what I do and with the removable micro-SD (rather than fixed memory) I can stock pics and vids just like an iPhone. Anything bigger I just use my laptop

As I said before, I dont buy a phone for its cool factor. I needed something that could work on any network and came unlocked from the factory with exchange server capabilities none of these being offered by the iPhone. Got all that for almost $250 including the SD card.

Btw knowing how Rogers do business, the iPhone will most likely cost around $400 with a 3 years contract and the SIM card locked (as with any of their cellphone)...
