Rogers to Canadians: No iPhone for you!

I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they’re “waiting for the iPhone” or ask me if I’m getting one. I heard around the beginning of the year that Rogers was having problems negotiating a contract with Apple to bring them to Canada, and it looks like that’s actually the case now. Rogers is saying:

“The truth is we aren’t very far with Apple,” Bill Linton, Rogers’ chief financial officer, told a conference last month. “They’re concentrating on this launch and the U.S., and when they decide to turn their mind to other markets, we’ll be in line.”

Slightly disappointing for those who have been waiting around for the device, but c’est la vie for living in Canada. We’ve always been last in line to pick up any mobile device, and the iPhone is apparently no exception.
