Question iPhone SIM on Rogers Wireless in Canada?

What would happen if i buy an iPhone from the States, and plug in my current Blackberry Pearl 8100 SIM card. Would I get service? They both use GSM/GPRS/EDGE connections. just thought I would check before "trying" this out myself.

Thanks!

It will not work. The iPhone is locked to only support specific SIM cards.

bummer. Actually I asked in the Apple store, apparently someone already tried, and they can use every other feature, except make/receive phone calls.

guess we'll have to wait.

You can use the other features, but only if you've already activated it in iTunes by signing up for ATT's phone service. DVD Jon seems to have found a way to trick the phone into thinking you've done this now.
