Does your new more expensive than advertised iphone work too? I've held off upgrading the software to 2.0... mostly because a few friends have already bricked their phones trying to do the same.

Found out the latest of sneaky dirty tricks by Rogers. The Iphone price of 199.00 is only available for new customers. If you have an existing account it is dependent on your hardware upgrade credits what price you have to pay. I am in my 3rd yr of my 1st contract with Rogers and half way through the process of setting up my iphone in the store they told me it was 349.99 plus a 100 'hardware upgrade' tier fee... So both I and the store rep spent 2 hrs on the various customer service systems and finally got them to wave the 100$ tier upgrade fee... but they stood firm on the iphone price... they said apparently one guy earlier paid nearly $500 for his !^&$ Rogers Yeah so I went today to get my new Iphone…

Ballsy move by the CRTC. Interesting…it sounds like the Chairman of the CRTC has summoned both Rogers and Bell’s CEOs in to explain the ‘disconnect’ with consumers.
