Comments on: Apple to Limit iPhones to Canada? http://blog.vectec.net/2008/07/08/apple-to-limit-iphones-to-canada/ A Chronological Account Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:28:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: jason http://blog.vectec.net/2008/07/08/apple-to-limit-iphones-to-canada/#comment-37366 jason Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:42:10 +0000 http://blog.vectec.net/?p=255#comment-37366 I think the whole "Apple punishing Rogers" rumor is pretty silly... Apple must have known damn well what Rogers' rates were going to look like when they made the agreement. And an iPhone sold is an iPhone sold. The idea here is to sell phones in Canada, they will sell even fewer if they arent any to be sold. Doesn't sound like smart business to me... I guess what Apple might not have known was how customers would react to such terrible plans. Thankfully Rogers has fixed their plans at least somewhat... 6GB of data /month for 30$, it's a lot better but still not "Unlimited". But it can be added to a current plan, so I guess it's good enough...

Europe is looking better and better all the time ... This is ridiculous - charging for incoming text messages would be like charging for incoming emails or snail mail - it’s totally unfair.
