iPhone 3G 8/16GB now $99/149 in the USA — but not in Canada?

Following the nextgen iPhone 3GS announcement, Apple brought forward the news that the iPhone 3G is currently available at discounted prices in the USA.

Judging by the steps Apple is taking, its goal is to get rid of the remaining iPhone 3G units available and switch onto sales of the iPhone 3GS as soon as possible.

Therefore the iPhone 3G 8GB now costs only $99 in the USA, while the 16GB model retails for $149 (from AT&T, Apple’s online/retail stores, Walmart, Best Buy, and other authorized distributors.

Meanwhile, back here in Canada, Rogers‘ iPhone product page still states that the 8GB model of the iPhone 3G costs $199, or $299 for the 16GB iPhone 3G model, meaning no reduction in price at all for the Canadians.

Does that mean that Rogers’ current stocks of the iPhone 3G are low?

Update #1:
Fido’s iPhone product page seems to state $149 for the 8GB 3G iPhone model now?
Update #2: Rogers PR rep officially announced that the iPhone 3G 8GB will be available on sale for $99 on June 19, 2009 (more here) — but not before that.

    The link in this post shows that a rogers rep supposedly tweeted that they would only reduce the price to $99 on June 19th.

    Rogers product page is absolutely terrible, and I don’t think it’s been updated since the iPhone first launched. We’ll see the 3G for $99, according to the tweet from the supposed rogers rep.

    Actually, after following that link, the fido page indicates a “refreshed” 3G is $150
    Strangely though, it’s $150 for an 8gb and $99 for a 16gb… go figure.

    The Iphone has never made me go mad, and I have never seen it necessary in have a phone with all these freaky functions …. the thing that puts me of is that it even costs more than a good laptop.
