Apple has announced that the iPhone will be headed to Canadian carriers Bell and Telus beginning next month, meaning Rogers will no longer have exclusivity in the nation.
Both carriers confirmed the move this morning, and say both the iPhone 3G and 3GS will be available next month, although price for the models, or data plans, were not given.
Until recently, both carriers had run on CDMA cell networks, for which the current iPhone models are not compatible. Both have upgraded to to the iPhone-supported HSPA standard however, and it appears that was the only hurdle.
This week, Morgan Stanley analysts noted that Apple should drop exclusivity around the world, and likely see their sales double.
