Rogers, you @#@#$
Jul 12
As most of you must know by now, yesterday was the much anticipated release of the iphone 3g. The inner geek in has rarely been excited that much for a new device. I was ready to give allllll my money to Rogers to get one on the release date, but they said no…NO!
I have been a client for more than 4 years, but last year I upgraded to a new contract. When yesterday night I finally had the iPhone in my hand, ready to sign the contract, the clerk told me “Sorry sir, you need to wait until october 11th before you can upgrade your plan”. WHY!, the guy told me it was some policy where you have to wait 1 year since your last upgrade or plan activation to be able to upgrade again.
This simply don’t make any sense for me, the only reason why I think it’s good for them (because they don’t care about the customers) is that their 6 gig data plan for 30$/month won’t be effective then, therefore forcing bunch of people who wants their iPhone but can’t get them to get the crazy plans.
The past two week has been nothing but bullshit from Rogers, every time they make a somewhat good move, there’s something somewhere that reminds me how bad they are.
What pisses me the most is that Rogers is the only DSM carrier in Canada, so if I want to have a somehwat good phone, I’m forced to go with them.
So what will I do? I just don’t know, I don’t want to go with Rogers, but I want the iPhone so bad.

Well… you can buy an iPhone and use that little app some dudes developed and unlock it to any carrier you want… Dunno the name of the app, its something like “jailbreak”… Good luck! Ah and btw.. the iPhone is not that good. Aside the multitouch, the rest is bs. The N95 8gb is a much better phone
