If you've ever gone through this process before, it can take 20 mins or more to get everything sorted out with activation details, packages etc. You won't be able to simply get the phone and activate it online as they did in the US. What a nightmare.</p> I spoke to the local Rogers store who said that nobody will be able to leave the store without an activated phone.

They get what they want because no one stops them! There were enough feathers flying between Rogers and Apple to get to this deal, I sure there is some truth behind this dirty little rumor! That said, it take a bigger bully to beat up a bully, Apple has that clout! I hope there using it!</p> <p>Some one wrote here or in another blog, "it's nice to see someone doing to Rogers, what Rogers does to their customers!" Reminds me when the Greater Toronto Airport Authority turn off their repeaters in the terminal building because they didn't like the new rent costs. Rogers whined like a little school girl over it all!</p> <p>Please do not buy an iPhone from rogers and enable this sort of corporate behavour!</p> Rogers is a corporate bully!

A family member of mine works for Rogers and he in charge of the cell phone section. He's been told (by Rogers management) that there will be a total of 2,000 iPhones for Canada. Thin pickings.</p> The rumor is true, at least the short supply of iPhones. A family member of mine works for Rogers and he in charge of the cell phone section.

Now because of Rogers greedy pricing, sadly I will not purchase an iPhone. Apple I hope you find some way to make Rogers accountable for turning this launch into an embarrassment.</p> I own a MacBook Pro and an iPod.

Out of all the countries with iPhone, Canada is probably one of the smallest markets with the largest geographical land mass. I'm sure it costs more for infrastructure here than it does in Europe, or USA (where they have 10 times our population). Maybe I am wrong, but to me more people = more money, and more money means more options. Go ahead and compare country to country once Canada's other wireless dealers get on board and create competition. For now, go buy the iPhone because I'm sure you really want it. If you didn't, you wouldn't complaining and feeding rumors.</p> Is it rational to compare Canada’s market to another country’s market?
