I'm glad you saw this Chris, now you really know why I called you up to tell you how Canadians are not going to bother with the iPhone nor Rogers! - Michael Forian

Sucks. I'm on Rogers. :( - AJ Batac

Maybe the iPhone can be a positive thing to consumers to bring notice and hopefully positive change to the corrupt and greedy cell phone companies like Rogers. If I lived in Canada I definitely would not be buying an iPhone. Those plans are outlandish. :( - Chris Rodgers

I agree with Granteezy. Will stick with my Blacberry Curve until I see the BB Bold. Then I will decide. Rogers data plans don't look to appealing. - Stephen Kennedy from twhirl

Thanks for the links fotographic. This is exactly what I mean about the iPhone. I hope this creates a stir and people leave Rogers or really show their disgust with the cell plans and not buy the iPhone. - Chris Rodgers

Thanks for the info. I will hold off getting the iPhone, as much as I really would like to have one. I presently own Apple's touch, so I will console myself with the features it has and use my conventional smart phone. - Nellie Root

I am an iphone user in Canada. I was eagerly waiting for the 3g iphone - even at this moment, I am tempted to get it irrespective of how ridiculously priced the plans are but I won't because I don't like being taken for granted and also, if I got for it, I am basically vountarily lowering my pants, bending over and asking Rogers to go for it - and do the same to others... - Kamath (नमः)

gee I've only been saying this since Rogers first announced they were going tobe selling the iPhone but that doesn't change the fact the Bell would have done the same thing if they were selling it. - Steven Hodson

This is a shame, Canadians are robbed with mobile phones. I hope this will make them realize it 'cause they don't seem to be aware. - Oli Kenobi

I had high hopes for the iPhone in Canada -- http://tinyurl.com/6ea2rp -- but with no unlimited data I'll pass and go for a Nokia E71 instead... - Andrew Currie

Pretty Interesting Story - and when I was in Toronto recently, I saw how "money grubbing" Rogers Communications is. Makes you wonder how much bandwidth your consuming when you download anything? Does the iPhone tell you when your approaching your limit, according to the plan your subscribed to? I hope so. - Marshall Sponder

I won't be. Not with those plans. I'll be getting a BBerry Bold instead. - Duarte from twhirl

Im sticking to my BB curve and $15.00 unlimited email for now - johnpiercy from twhirl

Plans are way too expensive and I got a new phone ealier this year so I'm not even allowed to get it at 199 :( - Ray Slakinski from twhirl

Not a chance - I would think of dropping Rogers - but Bell/Telus are starting to charge for incoming text message - Andrew MacNeill

Explanation: "In January 2007, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The... more... - Andrew Baron

Absolutely incredible shot! Then again some of the best shots on the web come from NASA, National Geographic, Discovery and, of course, Hawk :) - Charlie Anzman

Not to be too cynical but that shot seems to good to be true -- I wonder if there is more processing going on than the text seems to admit. - Brian Sullivan

I'm enamored with that lightning. - Jason Toney

ahhh good one - Dobromir Hadzhiev

I'm going to side with Brian here. What is right: Comet McNaught was that bright in WA (I use to live there), but I checked my attempted pics, they predate this by over a week. I'm sure the comet was only that bright for less than a week. Second, the main Australia Day fireworks occur in Perth City...which isn't near a beach . Maybe it's Leighton Beach with Fremantle to the left...but it doesn't seem right. I did check the weather records though, there was a storm that night, and it's in the right direction - Duncan Riley

I do hope it is real though...and I forgot how wonderful the environment there is - Duncan Riley

Now the wallpaper on my iMac - Adam Helweh

Duncan, last year both Fremantle and I believe Hillarys held their own fireworks for Australia Day. I myself was trying to guess the location this morning. Being a regular on Leighton beach though it doesn't look familiar so I was thinking it may have been taken to the north of Hillarys. It also made me very nostalgic for Perth :) - Penny

wow, just wow - Mark Douglass

Amazing shot! - Timo Heuer

Unbelievable! - fbrunel
