iPhone International?

Well, it seems that engadget has found that there are clues to the future of the iPhone in the firmware. It looks like there are some plans for the UK, but at least in this firmware version, nothing for Canada (though if you bring a US iPhone here, it will work via Rogers/Fido). This is somewhat disappointing, but from what I’m seeing right now, I’m not missing out on anything with my Pearl (other than my Apple fix, which was satiated yesterday with my second 20inch Cinema display – found used for very cheap). In fact as the more mature device, the Pearl has some elements that the iPhone doesn’t – third party apps, Bluetooth connections for voice dialing and GPS as well as a reasonable price (as low as $99 with a plan).
