Mirroring the premature trademark dispute surrounding the launch of the Cisco iPhone in the US, Apple's Canadian launch of its respective iPhone could be delayed due to a trademark dispute with a product that shares the same name as Apple's gadget. Comwave Telecom in Toronto owns the trademark rights to the name "iPhone" in Canada for use on its VoIP products and services, and has filed a complaint with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office over Apple's application for the trademark rights of the name for its future Canadian version of the iPhone. Sounds like a case of how much Apple is willing to pay, or how long they're willing to delay.

Just let Canadians have this phone as well..Why try to keep the phone just to 1 certain area..The more people that have the phone the better..People will mod them and come out with new things to spread around to everybody..Thats my opinion..Apple don't you want to make more money...Hmm..Obviously that would be a plus..Haha..I hope Canada is able to get this phone..

don't worry people are already buying them from the states and using them on the rogers network and a few have already used them on the telus network.
