Beer Day 23: iPhone getting hammered in the media

Beer is the reason:  Rogers is so stupid as to not come out with new iPhone plans sooner.  

It's not just the Canadian media bashing Rogers iPhone plans now.   We started with ruinediphone.com and it just escalated.  In Canada radio stations are constantly talking about it, news tv are devoting their tech segment to analysis of why Canadians are hate it(the iPhone plans.  We love the iPhone though), Canadian based internet news sites are trying to be object but failing miserable.   Then comes the INTERNATIONAL bashing.  A Washington newspaper derided Rogers plans.  An Australian newspaper mocked Rogers plans.  The UK are making fun of how THEY aren't screwing their customer base unlike their Canadian GSM counterparts.

Wake UP Rogers.   Like Twisted Sister said, "we're not going to take it!"

We'll go to Telus for the Samsung Instinct or the HTC Touch Diamond or Touch Pro for their SUPERIOR and CHEAPER data/voice plans or we'll go to Bell for the Samsung Instinct(launches slightly earlier then Telus) for their amazingly $15 Unlimited Data plan.

Unless of course Rogers does the two days before launch, "oh those weren't set in stone plans.  Here are our new comparable to Bell or Telus plans" in which case the herd of Jesus Phone afficiondo's charge every Roger/Fido store and buy up the phones.   I admit I would be one too but for now a big "F" "U" to current Canadian GSM companies.

Can't wait for Telus to announce they've got GSM towers like it was speculated  they were building back in January.   Unlike AT&T I don't remember Rogers getting exclusive rights to the iPhone.  Come on Telus we're waiting for you!
