iPhone Promotion at BestBuy (Canada)

uhhh, This is kinda interesting. I would assume that apple would have the same arrangement here in Canada as the USA, where as the iphone is only sold at an apple store, or at a rogers store (assuming since they will be the ones getting it)

So then Best Buy thinks its going to be able to sell it? or maybe it is?

I dont see anything on their site saying they sell rogers stuff?

Good to see something though in regards to it coming to Canada. The rest of the world is missing out :)

No big deal. Best Buy is just farming e-mail addresses for their newsletter updates.

Best Buy does sell Fido phones if I remember correctly, so that's the connection there I guess. I'm also sure a date will be released at the same time from all sources, there's no reason for Best Buy would be the only company to let us know first.

Sounds right, still good to know for people who live in Canada, that people haven't forgotten the iPhone.


Best Buy in the US doesn't have iPhone, so thats something to think about.

It it is a shameless marketing promotion to get people to sign up for their news letter.

Rogers sells through many chains like "The Source" (Circuit City), but with only 4 Apple Stores in Canada, and not so many true Rogers stores, Apple will definitely need an associated channel to sell the iPhones.

Wish Best Buy sold them here in the us, they would go on sale eventually

All best buy's have cell phone service counters in them where they can move the product and the cell plans. We don't have too many apple stores. Like one or 2 in toronto i think.

which means ugh rogers... crappiest cell coverage anywhere

Very good point. Makes Best Buy seem a very feasible reseller for Canada.

Agreed. Atleas there in Montreal we have an Apple store that we can go to to play with the iPhone once it comes out. :p :D

Rogers does not sell any cell phones or cell phone plans at Bestbuy.
Maybe Apple is planning to use Fido (which is sold at Bestbuy) for the iPhone .
