People all over the world right now are having their pre-orders bumped or downright canceled. Demand is way more than Apple was expecting. They sold 600,000 phones on the first day alone.

Yesterday Apple and its carrier partners took pre-orders for more than 600,000 of Apple's new iPhone 4. It was the largest number of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day and was far higher than we anticipated, resulting in many order and approval system malfunctions. Many customers were turned away or abandoned the process in frustration. We apologize to everyone who encountered difficulties, and hope that they will try again or visit an Apple or carrier store once the iPhone 4 is in stock.

Edit: And yes, it does suck that we have to wait longer. But it's tempered by the knowledge that Rogers probably isn't going to allow early upgrades anyway.
Edit: Now with 17.8% less confusion.
