then get a job, the iphone isn't a necessary item for you to live. I guess its just like Austin Martin ripping off the youth since you can't afford a DB9 eh?

Dan,

No one is twisting your arm and forcing you to sign that 3 year contract.   If you or your friends can't control your buyers impulses and wait unitl Rogers is forced to bring their prices down ( I am talking directly to those morons that stood in line to buy IPhones the first day) then you deserve what you get. 

yeah, if you want a cellphone like a iphone, you have to realize you have to pay  for, while rogers is ridicous prices, deal with it! considering untill about 20 years ago there was no such thing as a cellphone, yet society got along fine.  iphone is a great device dont get me wrong but fore the most part not needed, i think a normal phone like the razor is fine, it gets the job done  im sick of companys combining all this crap in phones i want a phone that i can use if my car breaks down  i dont need a camera, mp3 player!

I agree. There is evidence that 7 dollars per month Unlimited data plans exist except with Rogers and Fido.

Apple sucks as they should have controlled the rates to some extent.
