It's official: iPhones in Canada

According to The Star, Canadian communications firm Rogers Wireless has finally announced plans to carry the iPhone.

"We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the
iPhone to Canada later this year,
" they said in a statement. "We can't tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned."

This comes after nearly a year of back-and-forth between the two companies and the Canadian public. In April of last year, Rogers made a point of telling CBC News Online that they had not reached an agreement to carry the iPhone. At the time, they were the only GSM carrier in the country (all others used he CDMA standard). So no Rogers meant no iPhone.

Then, an article in The National Post suggested that Rogers would price the iPhone out of the hands of most Canadians, comparing it to their "Right Fit" plan, which offered (as of July '07) 250 anytime, zero weekends, 25MB of data and an additional fee for texts for a whopping Canadian $97/mo.

That was speculation, of course, and today's cryptic message from Rogers doesn't offer any contradictory details. However, the brief announcement should make many Canadians happy.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
