I even found out today from a trusted Virgin Mobile rep (best phone plans on the planet BTW) that they were the #2 bidder for the iPhone. So, where is the incentive for me to buy iPhone over the latest hi-tech phone from Virgin - NONE! I'd love one, but only if I could run it on any network that I choose. Too bad that Apple chose the way of monopoly (something they had in the days of old) for their groundbreaking phone. Open it to the world - they would sell more if your could get one through all of the carriers - look at Motorola, Samsung and the likes... Well, I am not a fan of the Rogers monopoly one bit.
