Often when we see a rumor that just will not go away, it turns out to be true — we can only wonder if that is the case here. Getting back to that $99 8GB iPhone 3GS that has been spotted with Rogers.

So far we have seen evidence that it existed in the form of images that came from a Rogers internal system as well as that blue checkmark on the Rogers website. Of course, they were both denied by Rogers.

With that, it seemed that it was just a mistake, but once again evidence has surfaced and this time it has come in the form of a screenshot (seen below) and along with a note from a Rogers employee.

It clearly shows that an 8GB 3GS has been added to our stock list and is the same price as the 3G coming in at 99$…

The first listing is showing 74.00$ (promo price with data plan and minus customers 25$ discount)

The second listing shows the phone if the customer does not choose a data plan, which is normall 299$ minus said $25 discount, so 274$

I think that when 3G stock runs out they are going to build 99$ 3GSs since those are the parts they are ordering, might as well keep the parts list minimal…

Then, to add a little more, another follow up comment was received by Gizmodo;

Being a former Rogers employee I can say that this is enough evidence to say that 8GB 3GS is coming for sure. Sales Central is the internal website that all staff use and it’s never been wrong. Hardware actually pop up on the site all the time and they have all materialized. It used to be a natural hint when we see something we don’t recognize on it and know that it is new hardware that will be shipping soon.

So, for what it is worth it would appear as if Rogers has leaked the information and they are now attempting at keeping it under control by offering the denials. At this point it seems that it would be safe to say that we will be seeing an 8GB iPhone 3GS in the not-to-distant future.
