No, seriously, Rogers the one&only Canadian GSM provider confirmed it this morning:
TORONTO, April 29 /CNW/ – Ted Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rogers Communications Inc. today issued the following statement:
We’re thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year. We can’t tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned.
Well, isn’t that just an awesome sandwich on bread of awesome? I’m guessing that “later this year” almost certainly means “as soon as we receive our first shipments of iPhone 2.0 hardware,” so hopefully should not be long.
I wonder how the Canada “iPhone” trademark issue I mentioned earlier got worked out? Hopefully by a good ol’ smackdown and not by ransom, but whatever, apparently it’s sorted and life is all good.
h/t: Electronista!
