Richard iPhone

Looks like Virgin Mobile Canada is ready to break its iPhone hymen. Yesterday they announced that they will be offering both the iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS in retail stores in “the coming months.” Oh Sir Richard, how we love thee. We suppose you want details, but we don’t have any — the press release is a blistering 31 words and 198 characters long, hell if they had been a bit more succinct they could have just tweeted it — as Virgin Canada’s website has yet to be updated with the news. We’ll continue to follow this one as it develops.

    Since this is Virgin Mobile, I wonder how their pre-pay and or rate plans will be priced. Do they even offer 3G with their towers? Or would they be using another carrier’s towers ala Telus, Bell, etc.

      Virgin Mobile is an MVNO that runs on Bell network. Its actually wholly owned subsidiary of Bell Mobility.

        That’s what I don’t get…they’re pulling a GM!

        Richard Branson owned 50% of Virgin Mobile Canada until some point this year when Bell bought out his share.

    Will you just hurry up and end that, stupid, exclusive deal with AT&T in the states already Apple?!?!

      As much as everybody wanted that to end, it won’t happen until Apple builds a cdma version iPhone. Bell & Telus has added WCDMA over its existing CDMA network to make iPhone compatible. Verizon said they wouldn’t do it.

    I’m sorry but who ever photo-shopped that image, did a horrible job.

    iPhone hymen? I can’t decide if that’s the greatest opening line in BGR’s history or the worst opening line in BGR history…

  • Gauntlet Down

    >>> “Looks like Virgin Mobile Canada is ready to break

    Andrew and the rest of BGR,

    I give you guys shit some times, but that hymen comment was hilarious. Well played.

  • mangenius

    Well done Bell

  • AW82

    I’m not exactly a prude, but the ‘hymen’ line is a bit too crass.

  • Deep

    Seriously. Literally every major carrier in Canada has the iPhone now

    • mangenius

      Minus WIND lol

  • Eric

    Funny, I’m betting the owners of the Sydney Opera House sue him. They are absolutely obsessive about any use of the Opera House’s image, let along its use in ads – from an odd direction and of very poor quality.

  • Mr.Flores

    virgin mobile is basically sprint right??

    • joe

      Virgin Mobile Canada is owned by Bell Canada and runs on their network. Since Bell launched their UMTS/HSPA network this month, Virgin Canada is now also compatible with the iPhone.

      Rumour is that the launch will be in February.

  • mark cameron

    well, regardless. you should (if you buy an iphone) stop by seego.com. we have a full linklist of iphone optimized web apps that are free and we don’t run ads on the site.
    the best linklist there currently is for iphone. bar none.

  • Jim

    Lol at Rogers & Fido! The iPhone is everywhere now :P

  • Jim

    I wonder when we will see Koodo (Telus) and Solo (Bell) start to carry the iPhone.. any guesses?

  • Mitch

    can anyone say photoshop?

    check his right hand….

  • Ahmad A.

    Wee, I sent that tip in, lol =P

  • brian0311
