The iPhone is Coming to Canada this Summer…

By Gary Ng on March 18th, 2008 61

…or is it? Did you get a chance to check out my first post previewing iPhone 2.0 and its features?

Well, the community at ModMyiFone.com has posted an in depth video (6 mins) of the jailbroken iPhone 2.0 (or in other words, an iPhone with 1.2 firmware, only available to official SDK developers). However, at the 3 minute and 52 second mark of the video, something interesting is shown…

Could the iPhone be Coming to Canada in June?

As the user is scrolling through the list of International language support for the keyboard, you will notice French and French (Canada). Could this be evidence that the iPhone will be indeed released in Canada once summer rolls around? I’m not one to fuel rumors (but oh man, it’s so fun to do so!), but the specific inclusion of French for French Canadians seems like a subtle hint of things to come.

Don’t forget that 30 applicants that will soon be bidding on Canada’s wireless spectrum. Maybe a mystery company will launch the iPhone in Canada. What do you think? iPhone coming soon from Rogers possibly? All I can say is I can’t wait until there is another GSM carrier in Canada. Let the data rates fall soon after hopefully!

Here’s the screenshot…

    Yep, its now official. Ted Rogers himself said it, Rogers and Apple have reached a deal. Now its just a matter of launch date. The Iphone could be coming very soon. This is no rumour now. Rogers stock has just climbed over this news. As for competition, dont expect any U.S carrier to compete for Canadian wireless spectrum. They are just not interested. So being the only gsm carrier, it looks like Rogers will be the only company to reep the benefits of this product. As a shareholder of this company, I am very happy. For those of you who complain about data prices in canada, you can also blame Bell and Telus for not being so competitive. Nobody is standing in there way not to switch to GSM. They could invest if they wanted to. But maybe they dont care about delivering leading wireless products and services. They have other things to worry about. Perhaps, home phone, which right now they are taking a hit for it.
