I remember back when the original iPhone came out, there was much buzz surrounding the possibility of it being released in Canada. Unfortunately the only carrier that uses GSM phones is Rogers Wireless, and due to their outrageous goods plans, it was unlikely that it would ever be introduced to the north. However, with the impending release of the iPhone 3G, will Rogers be updating their crazy goods prices?

Rogers Wireless president Madir Mohamed announced recently that they are, in fact rolling out new info plans to accommodate more frequent

goods usage. He notes that the average Rogers customer pays roughly $63 each month for voice, input and messaging service. They expect that the average iPhone subscriber will end up paying more like $90, with most of the additional expense being attributed to documents usage.

This gives Canadian users an concept of what they can expect to pay per month for their iPhone. Unfortunately it will still be a couple of weeks before the actual plan prices are revealed.
