1=i-Gouged (Rogers iPhone Global BC News tv spot)


The iPhone is coming to Canada, all's not well in the Great White North.
For the record, yes, I'm the guy with the t-shirt and the "geek belt".
Some info we talked about in the interviews that didn't make the story:
Paying extra $15-20 for Call display and evenings that start before 9 PM
3 year contract is the longest in the world
There's *no* unlimited option at all, no matter how much you're willing to pay
The new iPhone uses an unknown (but apparently high) amount of data just for background stuff.
Those AT&T minutes are "nationwide" minutes.

Etc, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Still, I think they did a good job of warning people to do research.
