Consumers and mobile operators around the world might still be griping about the limits Apple puts on the availability of the iPhone, but today all our sympathy is with our brethren to the north.

Reports are that Rogers plans to require a three-year contract for its Canadian customers wanting a 3G iPhone. According to AfterDawn, folks wanting the new handset will also need to sign up for one of three data plans, which range from C$60 to C$115.

The cheapest plan comes with 150 voice minutes plus unlimited nights and weekends, 400MB of data and 75 outbound text messages. The next plan up, which costs $75, nets 300 minutes, 750MB of data and 100 texts. The upper-level plan includes 800 daytime minutes, 2GB of data and 300 texts. All three plans include unlimited incoming text and visual voicemail messages.

There is one bit of information missing from the Rogers news; although it will start selling the 3G iPhone on July 11, it has yet to disclose the price of the phone itself.
