you people are sad. Bitching about Rogers and Fido. Hell if you don’t like the price don’t get it for crying out load. Tired of all these cry babies crying about their wireless carrier.

Rogers bought Fido, and Rogersified it.

I’ve been with Fido(matic) for 8-9 years. Then Rogers comes along to ‘innovate’. Whatever.

I keep a balance of atleast 60 bucks near always. A 3 year gulag term (contract) is NEVER gonna happen with my 3 Fido fone family

I thought walling people in proved to be counter-productive.

I want an iPhone probably more than any gadget I’ve ever seen. But, I WILL NOT be locked in.

What would I need to do when the iPhone ‘3′ comes out. Pay out any punishment (penalty) on a 3 year contract. Or wait 24months before I can get a new one.

No deal, Howie.

Title of this article should be “Fido ordered by Rogers to be iPhone 3G carrier”. That sounds more like it! yay!

Fido is entirely owned by Rogers Communications in Canada and is widely seen as a subsidiary. Therefore I highly doubt there will be very much competition between the two companies as pricing structures are usually identical. Both the data and voice options are most probably going to be identical.
