Its one of the few times when love inspires hate. The Canadians who fell head over heels in love with the iPhone like the rest of the world had to wait patiently until the release of iPhone v2.0 to finally be able to buy it in their own country. This despite being just across the border to the States where the iPhone was conceptualised.

No matter they said, they could live with a bit of delay, as long as they got a fair deal in the end. They trusted the Steve when he said that the new iPhone would be available for a similar price around the globe. But they were cheated. Read on to see how.

Rogers Communications (the sole provider of the iPhone in Canada) has come up with a US$75 a month plan comes with a mandatory 3-year contract, 100 text messages, 300 weekday minutes, and a 750MB cap on 3G usage for the Canadians.

There has to be a limit to the greed of the telecom companies, especially when it comes to the jesus phone. If you are a Canadian or are just feeling outraged head on to ruinediphone.com where an online petition and the entire angry letter addressed to Mr. Jobs is on display.
