The folks up north in good ole Canada are more than unhappy with the rate plans Rogers/Fido is going to offer for the iPhone. iPhone fans in Canada have set up http://ruinediphone.com to protest the pathetic plans. The creator has set up a petition and posted a copy of the letter he has sent to Steve Jobs about how unaffordable the data plans are. A portion of this letter can be seen below.

” To our great disappointment, Rogers Communications Inc. has announced VERY unfair rates in comparison to AT&T in the United States and to other authorized wireless service providers around the world. As a result, a consumer movement was born yesterday (June 27th) in protest against these rates. 

Nearly 6,000 people have signed an online petition to help make a difference and the list is growing rapidly. In the last 48 hours, the website has had 40,000 unique visitors from around the world supporting Canadian consumers. There are a vast number of Canadians that would take the opportunity to buy an iPhone at $199CAD but these new plans have put it out of reach for many. ”

His site has been featured on CNN money and states “14,853 people say NO to Rogers.” Steve you better do something before the iPhone name is ruined, and I don’t mean a cease and desist letter.
