Tech News: iPhone not just on Rogers…coming to BELL!

For all of you who have been stuck in 3 year contracts with Bell (and maybe lucked out with that unlimited data plan they had last year), this may be the greatest news you’ll ever hear:

THE IPHONE IS COMING TO BELL

What does this mean in the long run?

• Rogers will now actually have some sort of competition, which means everyone will probably see better rates
• Bell users can enjoy the new Bell 3G network and all its high-speed glory
• Bell users can also be cool now

Let’s take a quick look at Rogers vs Bell for a second (I’m typically a pro-Rogers person as much as I hate how much I have to pay per month):

Rogers has had the iPhone for 2 years.  Bell has had…nothing that anybody remembers

Rogers has had the HTC Android-based phones for almost a year.  Bell has had…again nothing.

Rogers then drops their $6.75 monthly access fee…in lieu of a number of other service fees equaling close to $6.75

Bell gets the Palm Pre.  Bell gets the iPhone.  Bell just got your soul for another 3 years, sucker.

The iPhone launches on Bell 3G networks starting in November. Get yo’ piggy banks ready.  Thanks Engadget.
