Apple: No Cdn. retail 3Gs
Apple will not be selling the iPhone 3G at its Canadian retail stores, company representatives suggest. "The iPhone 3G will be available in Canada from Rogers and Fido," says Simon Atkins, an Apple spokesman. The news appears to be circumstantially supported by representatives at two separate Apple Stores, who also claim that the decision was made because Rogers has more than Apple's six Canadian locations, making it better capable of delivering the multiple plans on offer. Rogers has yet to issue a reply to inquiries from the CBC.
The statements conflict with earlier rumors however, indicating that Apple is not only keeping phones from its shops, but that it is doing so to punish Rogers for unusually high subscription fees, which can go as high as $115 per month without providing unlimited data access. Punishment is further believed to include lower iPhone shipments in general.

Any chance you might do just a minute's research before posting this tripe? None of the Apple stores around the world (aside from the US) are selling the 3G iPhones. There is no story here whatsoever. Rogers had its iPhone stock in teh warehouses some weeks ago.
