I saw this site while browsing Gizmodo today. It is a site with an open letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs regarding the catastrophic prices set forth by Rogers for the upcoming iPhone 3G release. The prices are unbelievably high, the lowest plan is a whopping $60 CAD a month for a mere 150 weekday minutes, and only 400mb data cap! Now, I know web browsing on a phone isn't too intense, but if you're anything like me, you're using AT LEAST 2GB a day on the home internet! I think what people were looking forward to was a respectively priced unlimited data plan, however Rogers/Fido thought different!
I like www.ruinediphone.com because it shows the initiative and persistence of the people fighting for the better. Personally, I think that this was the best approach. Steve has likely taken a look at his letter by now and realized that 14,000 angry Canadians aren't to be messed with. Something is sure to come about from this. Look out Rogers.
Me? I'm in no rush to get the iPhone. I'm quite comfortable with my Telus HTC s720, it's got all I need. However I really feel kinda bad for all the people who were hoping to get the iPhone, now stranded. So I'm helping spread the word. Go check out www.ruinediphone.com and sign the petition, and let's see how far this gets!
