More rumors surrounding the iPhone in Canada have surfaced today, and this time it’s the Toronto Star that is fueling the rumor mill. In a report today, the Toronto Star is claiming that the iPhone could be in Canada some time this summer, between May and July.
Rumor has it that Rogers Communications (the only Canadian carrier with a compatible GSM network to accomodate iPhone) wants to include the iPhone as a part of a summer campaign featuring touch-screen phones.
The speculated release would put the iPhone in Canada right around the same time the new 3G iPhone is expected to drop. Could be great timing.
Said Elizabeth Hamilton, a Rogers spokesperson:
“We believe it is a phenomenal device and we look forward to being able to offer it to our customers if and when the device becomes available in Canada…”
Now that still sounds a little iffy and grey to me Elizabeth! C’mon, spill the beans to us would ya? I’m not surprised at the tight-lipped answer at all. I actually stopped a Rogers store out of curiosity few days back with some prodding questions about the iPhone. The 2 gentlemen at the store refused to answer any questions or give any help! I was actually kind of shocked because I’ve heard many stories of Rogers’ employees being very accommodating! ‘We don’t support the iPhone and I can’t help you with that’ was the exact response to one of my questions. I kind of chuckled and left it at that. Clearly I wasn’t going to get anywhere with them 🙂
I’ve heard and read so many rumors about the iPhone coming to Canada, I really don’t know what to believe anymore. All I know is that as time goes by, the release is inevitable, and one of these days the rumor is going to be true.
