iPhone 3G S Coming to Canada

Lots of iPhone announcements coming out today. See:

• iPhone 3G S coming to Canada June 19th - no immediate word on upgrade path & cost for current customers.
  
• Two days earlier on June 17th, the new 3.0 firmware will be available for download for existing phones.
  
• Keith McArthur, a Rogers rep is tweeting the announcements as they come out, which led to this gem...
• Unlike one US carrier, it seems Rogers is 'ok' with the use of the new tethering technology built into th new 3.0 OS. The one caveat is that you must have a data plan over 1 GB per month, which I do.
  
• And for the non-geeks out there who didn't disconnect at the word iPhone in the post title, tethering lets your iPhone work as a wireless modem, so you can surf on your laptop. Very cool feature.
  

We won't know about the hardware upgrade possibilities until Rogers says 'if' and 'how much', but both the copy/paste functionality and tethering will push me upgrade to the 3.0 OS in short order. Probably a few days after it goes live.
