Even with having a handful of wireless carriers in Canada that now offer the iPhone, it just seems we can't catch a break. They've got us locked in and locked down. From every angle. And now we have more to add to the list. Bell is apparently swinging the iPhone hammer, and placing some restrictions...

As expected, Virgin Mobile Canada will be launching the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in Canada in 2010. An official statement was released this morning.

Bring on the iPhone "competition" in Canada, eh! Looks like Bell has started airing their own iPhone commercials on TV.
