June 7th, 2008Worst kept secret: Rogers iPhone launches Monday

It’s time to take out that second mortgage, the Rogers iPhone is finally landing. Coinciding with Apples World Wide Developers conference on June 9th, Steve Jobs will be announcing the launch of the next generation iPhone. As well as a host of other new countries, Rogers will be exclusively launching the phone Canada. Here’s a rumour roundup of everything Apple might announce on Monday. Hilariously the predictions are all over the map as to exactly what the phone will look like thicker, thinner, one new iphone or many etc.

Earlier on WirelessNorth.ca, here’s our predictions of what the Rogers iPhone: Rogers iPhone Predictions

Expect Rogers to make as much fuss about this launch. As the only (current) GSM provider, it’s a major coup for them and big opportunity to rope in as many more Canadians as they can to 3 year contracts before Canada’s new competing carriers are able to get a network up and running.

But how much does it cost. That's the real question, and it could be the deal breaker if the data plan is anything like what we are used too. What use is an iPhone with a crappy dataplan?

The other key question is what sorts of data does the data plan cover? will data be flat across applications or will rogers's charge you an extra $12 a month to use the camera on your iphone? This is the biggest area of worry, the entire point of the iphone 2 is the open application platform through the mac store. Can Rogers still get away with charging punitive data rate pricing on 3rd party apps (like they do with the n95) or will apple finally crack rogers open. We'll see in a few hours.
