The iPhone will be used on Telus / Bell's new HSDPA(or 3.5G) network, which is GSM based.
This network is capable of 7.2Mbps where as the Rogers 3G network tops out at 3.6Mbps, and the iPhone can support HSDPA, so the iPhone will be faster on the Telus/Bell network than it will be on the Rogers network !]]>Oct 6th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/
Now that Bell and Telus can support an HSDPA network, the game changes, of course, and since Apple has no contractual obligation to sell the iPhone solely through Rogers/Fido, Bell and Telus picking it up is pretty much a given.

Also note that Rogers' network is 7.2mbps, at least in most major urban areas. The new Bell/Telus network is 21mbps (HSPA+), but that's well beyond what the iPhone will support. The iPhone 3G is capped at 3.6mbps anyway -- only the 3GS can reach the 7.2mbps speed.

Hopefully the next Iphone will have a hybrid GSM/LTE/CDMA radio in it. LTE/CDMA radios will have to be created for the in between years while Verizon is rolling out LTE, so hopefully they can add GSM functionality and BAM, one Iphone for pretty much the whole world by next summer, haha.]]>Oct 6th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/
Anyway this is pathetic as I was rockin the original 2G iPhone back in 2007 and still am. iPhone is so old I cannot believe anyone would actually pay good money for this crap.

I even think the $7/month I pay on prepaid is a bit much!

You know with all that money you pay you could buy a nice 1972 Pontiac LEMANS sport with the 455, instead of trying to impress chicks with an outdated gadget!]]>Oct 6th 2009 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/

Do you actually think Rogers will be dumb enough to not change their prices/plans to match the competition? They were the only supplier of this thing pre-Nov. Now the game has changed, and Rogers will be forced to become competitive with this device.]]>Oct 6th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/bell-nabs-iphone-deal-in-canada-ends-rogers-reign-of-terror/
