It looks like the days of the iPhone monopoly are about to end in Canada as the Jesus Phone is coming to both Telus and Bell. Until recently, Rogers was the only game in town for iPhone action. But word on the street is that the change will be announced Tuesday or Wednesday. Conincidentally this potential release will conincide very well with the launch of Telus and Bell’s launch of their new 21 Mbps HSDPA+ network.
For those of you who keep track of network types and speeds, you might remember that both Telus and Bell are new to GSM/EDGE/HSPA networks but they have been burning the midnight oil to roll out their new high speed network in time for, most likely, the Vancouver Olympics (can you say roaming charges?) and certainly the holiday season. Now to spice things up Bell is contending that their network version is more advanced because it is utilizing the latest network standard, HSPA + ,while Rogers is still slowly rolling HSPA+ out beyond the intial 5 cities they have already blanketed: Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver.
So what do you think? The idea of having 21 Mbps a tempting morsel for a move to the land up north? Or how about having more then one carrier offering the same phone? Sound off below.
