The iPhone is coming to Canada like a Walrus to a summer picnic.  Everyone can see it coming but the closer it gets the more you need zoologist to understand what the hell is going on.  But at least it's still summer.

It's confounding and frustrating to think that Rogers decision makers, in the quiet and cool of their Toronto towers, would think that they were somehow making good pricing decisions for the new market of iPhone customers.  I can hear the conversation.

Exec 1: "Should we make the pricing plans easy to understand"

Exec 1: "Should we make it competitive?"

Exec 2: "With who?  Nobody has the iPhone here but us."

Exec 1: "You're right.  It's the fucking iPhone - people love it, people worship it. They're going to buy this little magic box no matter what.  Besides, we're talking about Canadians here.  They'll take anything up the ass.  I mean it's not like they're not going to buy it just because they can't afford it.  Higher prices mean better vacations and bigger cars."

Exec 2: "Alright, good decision.  Next topic: Penis sizes."

Here are the pricing plans as listed on Rogers website on June 28th.

Now, a new petition has been launched at ruinediphone.com. I signed it. But more importantly, people need to not buy the iPhone when it comes out. That will make a much greater impact than complaining online.
