Rogers must have felt the pain when 50,000+ Canadian's signed a petition against their iPhone data pricing. Well Rogers today announced special launch promotions for the iPhone. Select Rogers Plus stores will be opening at 8AM to offer the iPhone, but the best part out of all of this news…. Rogers will be offering a special data plan for the iPhone up until August 31, 2008. 

The special data plan will be $30 a month and will offer 6GB of data! yes that's right 6GB. That's a whole lot of browsing. Now the best part is apparently this offer will be offered to 3G smartphones inlcuding the upcoming BlackBerry Bold. Also apparently Fido will be offering this amazing plan as well.
