Rogers claims that iPhone sales in Canada still going strongly

The only Canadian distributor for Apple's iPhone says that they're still selling very well:

Sales of the iPhone in Canada are still outpacing supply, but the device's exclusive carrier Rogers Wireless (TMX:RCI.B) says it's getting weekly shipments from manufacturer Apple Inc. to help meet the demand.

The much-hyped iPhone went on sale across the country July 11 amid hoopla and buzz similar to the launch of a sought-after video game. Hundreds of Canadians lined up to buy the iPhone at Rogers stores across the country — albeit a year after the device was available to U.S. consumers.

What consumers waited hours for is a next-generation version of the smartphone that lets users surf the Internet and check their email with the added bonus that it works just like an iPod, storing and playing music and video.

"Sales continue to exceed supply and we continue to receive weekly incoming shipments from Apple thanks to pre-ordered inventory," Rogers Wireless spokeswoman Odette Coleman said Wednesday.

There's only one person in my immediate circle who's flaunting a JesusPhone around, but several have mentioned they're considering getting one. I'm still thinking about it myself, for that matter. We'll all be keeping an eye on the end of August, as that is when Rogers' temporary data plan price break ends ($30 per month for up to 6Gb).
