More Evidence From Rogers Wireless of 8 GB iPhone 3GS
Image from Gizmodo
Gizmodo has received a supposed screenshot from Rogers Wireless' internal sales systems for hardware upgrades listing an 8 GB iPhone 3GS model. Based on the screenshot and comments from the alleged Rogers employee who submitted it, the 8 GB iPhone 3GS will be offered at the same $99 price point of the current iPhone 3G under the standard three-year contract with data plan offered by Rogers or at $299 without a data plan. According to the source:
It clearly shows that an 8GB 3GS has been added to our stock list and is the same price as the 3G coming in at 99$...
The first listing is showing 74.00$ (promo price with data plan and minus customers 25$ discount)
The second listing shows the phone if the customer does not choose a data plan, which is normall 299$ minus said $25 discount, so 274$
I think that when 3G stock runs out they are going to build 99$ 3GSs since those are the parts they are ordering, might as well keep the parts list minimal...

Very good!
I couldn't take a screenshot as I never had a chance alone and would be fired if caught. ;)
this may be a stupid question...but what is the advantage of an 8GB iPhone 3GS???
price^^

Yes a very stupid question. the iphone 3gS runs at 600mhz 200 mhz faster than 3g and has double the ram and a better camera.
Does this mean foreign visitors can visit the store, and buy a contract-free 3GS for $274? Or is there some caveat I'm looking over :p
Well you'll have to wait at least 30 days, also you have to pay for the first month of service, also depending upon if you're lucky or not you'll get pinned for the 2nd month of charges as well since you can't cancel until you're into the 2nd billing cycle.
Best case scenario:
$100 + $80 (service) + $174 (ETF) = $354 tax not included
Worst case:
$100 + $160 (service) + $174 (ETF) = $433 tax not included
...either way not cheap, and you must wait 30 days as well as deal with AT&T customer service.

Ok, thanks. Also, it literally says "no data-plan", but I suppose you'll still be tied in some other contract with AT&T? Like, calls & texts for $xx a month, but data not included.
Should have known this would be too good to be true ;)
So all though it is fun to think you might have some information Apple did not announce when they announce the $99 iphone. to use Rogers as a source for even a rumor is WAY off.
Also I know from asking Rogers the cheapest 3GS they would sell me with no Contract is $849.00. So $274.00 for a 3GS would be a good indication this is wrong.
