I picked up an iPhone this past Friday at the local Rogers wireless store out here. What can I say the 9 hour wait to finally activate the phone was worth it.
If you haven’t checked out the iPhone the best place to do so would be the Apple Store in Pacific Centre downtown. Although they don’t sell the phones (you have to go to a Fido or Rogers dealer for them) they have a bunch of them on display for you to play with. Best of all if you have any questions they have more than enough staff to answer them for you.
Just a word of advice on the iPhone 3G, be sure to sign up for the $30.00 6GB of data plan that is offered. The iPhone 3G is made to use data. From using my iPhone the past few days I can honestly say that 6GB is going to be more than enough without having to worry about going over your limit and getting billed extra. While $30.00 may sound like a lot for data I think of it as just having to pay $1.00/day to have the internet/email available to me wherever I am.

I suppose when you put it that way, the $1/day for data isn’t so jaw-dropping. However, added to a phone plan with phone features, it’s a whopping bill. Particularly compared to the $20/mth pay-as-you-go plan that I’m on (and I don’t use it all up from month-to-month). I just can’t do it.
