$700 freaking dollars for a 32GB 3GS iPhone for existing customers! Insanity! They don't even have tethering or MMS working yet!
I'm almost afraid to ask, but any word on what level of highway robbery Rogers is going to put out there? If they're in-line with AT&T, it could be upwards of $800 to get a new 32 GB iPhone, on top of the contract extension you'd be taking on. Brutal beyond belief.
