Nice to hear it is finally coming.
End of year is kinda ambigious, but better then nothing.
I wonder how this coincides with 3G iPhones, and if Rogers can support higher speeds on it's network?

Only to have them replaced by "Yay! We're finally getting the iPhone!" posts.

I just read the main article on the Globe's main website.
Sadly, no mention of a price reduction in data and rate plans, and no actual timeline given. Really, thisn't so much news as repetition of what we already knew: at some point, the iPhone would come to Canada.
I'm still content using mine as a iTouch, at least until plans improve.
