Upgrade eligibility will be determined based on standard upgrade eligibility rules. Customers must be upgrade eligible to receive the qualified upgrade pricing. However, not all customers will be qualified upgrades. Rogers has not determined the price of the 3G device for non-qualified upgrades.All customers will be required to sign a 3-year agreement. There will not be a “no commitment” price or a 2-year agreement for the iPhone 3G.
Activation Process
The new 3G device will be activated in store in Rogers, Fido and Apple stores. Customers must accept Rogers and Apple terms of service, sign a 3-year agreement, and select the data plan for the iPhone 3G before leaving the store. A short tether process to unbrick the 3G device will be performed in all Rogers and Fido stores tether cords will be provided. Apple stores will also perform this tether process, however in the event that a customer’s device is not tethered in the Apple store, their device will be inoperable until they get home and tether through iTunes. Prepaid will not be allowed on the iPhone 3G device.
In general, this looks almost identical to the contracts that AT&T are working with in the US. If you dig deeper into the ehMac forum you’ll also find that these details are very similar to a number of European contracts. From all accounts it seems that Apple may be dictating the “user experience” and demanding reasonable data rates and features. If this ends up being the real deal, there will be many happy Canadian iPhone owners.
Update - So far there is no evidence that this is a hoax, but take it with a grain of salt until we get 100% confirmation from Rogers.
