iPhone Still Unlikely For Canada

If you're waiting for the iPhone to arrive in Canada, then you're going to have to wait a little longer. I hate to be the bearer of bad news (except if it's related to the PS3, because I'm hoping for a price drop), but here's the report:

Citing Canada's smaller cellular market as one possible reason, Rogers CEO Nadir Mohamed said the device would likely go on sale in Europe before Canada. Rogers spokesperson Jan Innes added that the two sides aren't currently in chats about the handset, but refused to comment on if they had been in the past -- though seriously, they're nuts if they haven't been.

There are alternatives, of course. If you simply can't wait to get your hands on the iPhone, you can always grab the unlocking software. And just to sweeten the deal Engadget even has a video of the unlocking process from start to finish, just to show you than it can be done without too much risk to the unit. If you've been itching for the iPhone and simply can't wait, then this unlocking process is the answer you've been waiting for. Of course, there's still the option to wait for the official Canadian release, but how long will that take?
