Rogers had many problems activating iPhones. They didn't even have iTunes 7.7 installed, rendering their efforts useless. I understand that Apple simply can't force other companies to educate their employees up to Apple's standard, but Apple has also been having other problems not related to other companies. The more products and partnerships Apple make, the harder they will have to work to live up to their high standard.

I haven't purchased an iPhone (yet) but it seemed there was frustration with them as well. What is your take? Cheers, Connie Michael, do you think any of the problem here in Canada could be as a result of the relationship with Rogers?
