“Rogers can’t be thrilled about the supply situation.”

intro-iphone-cutcopypasteFor those wanting to get the latest Apple iPhone you’re more than familiar with ordering and calling up Rogers/Fido to find out where you stand in the back order cue. We are also familiar with hearing that “Demand for the iPhone 3GS in Canada has been very strong and we’re working with Apple to get a 3GS to every Canadian who wants one.”

If you can’t wait to get it through Rogers or Fido, you can always go to your local Apple Store, they have some in stock but you’ll have to buy it outright. With Bell (we hear a December launch) and TELUS rumoured to be bringing on the iPhone, Kevin Restivo, senior analyst for mobility at IDC Canada said “Rogers can’t be thrilled about the supply situation.”

  1. I had an order through Fido but I was fed up of waiting so I went to a T-Booth Store, they said they had stock so I set it up. In and out it less than 15 mins. Then I canceled my other order. Fido was not happy about it, but at least I got my phone!

  2. Yeah, no joke Rogers will not be happy to lose their exclusive iPhone. I've read rhumors that Apple was not happy at all with their pricing structures for the device and has lowered the amount of stock available to them, but I think for most people, if they're that hungry for the device, really should look at places like Best Buy / Best Buy Mobile, Wireless Wave, and the Telephone Booth (T-Booth). Rogers-owned stores aren't the only places you can get the device :)
