When or will it ever reach these shores? If it does will rogers screw us as per normal to use it?
You can buy one now, unlock it, and use it in Canada. However, most of it's features requires data access... and since Rogers charges an arm and a leg for it, you might as well forget it.
iPhone won't officially reach Canada until an agreement is made with Apple and Rogers over the data plan(s) and the cut of the revenue that Apple receives from each subscriber.
Currently, there is no data plan that can handle the iPhone without paying thousands of dollars so you can keep dreaming.
The latest firmware upgrade will disable a phone which has been 'unlocked'. Its in the very fine print of the agreement you say "Agree" to when you download the update.
