Which seems economically unfeasible given the prices Rogers charges for its data services. Perhaps it’s time for someone to patent one-click bankruptcy.
Hope they have lots of cash
Anyone hooking the iphone up to Rogers better be ready for a big surprise when they get their data bill.

great idea! now if someone can just get a functionally equivalent to the iPhone for a realistic price it will be even better. I wonder what you will have to do if you live in Saskatchewan which I understand is a one provider dictatorship

I’ve just unlocked an iphone with the opensource unlocker that was released today and it’s running very nicely on Rogers. The prices Rogers charges are outrageous, and I completely agree with another posting on this site that this is relegating Canadian mobile users to envious bystanders. So for anyone doing this, just make sure you use the data-hungry device for calls only while you’re not in wifi range.
