I think I will stick with the Invisishield solution when I get one.
I know they shut down the manufacturing at one point to fix some issues, and have only recently (within the last couple weeks) started making them again. Their site makes a reference to "past issues being resolved" so I wonder if this is what they are talking about?

I haven't really looked into it too much, just because I won't be serious about buying one until the yellow version is being made.

Strangely enough, my 3G has been working pretty good lately. Since I'm having no luck finding an iPhone 4 anywhere, I may just keep this thing for a little while and see how long it can really last.

No, I've done nothing different. I can't explain it. I suppose I might just be getting used to the crappiness.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but disabling Spotlight Search did wonders for my 3G. That plus a hard reset every few days to keep it fresh.

I'd say that lately it is "relatively usable" compared to "completely effin' useless".

LOL yeah, "relatively usable" is an apt description. Maybe it was those suggestions that I followed, who knows.

^ you know what you are holding it so tightly your hand is shaking, you might be holding it wrong.

Still an interesting point.

Free "Stealth Guard cell phone skin" for just the cost of shipping - first 1000 orders.

Actually any cell they sell

Cost was $2.85 US for shipping to Calgary for iphone4 skin.

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'm using a Zagg right now, but always willing to test out new stuffs for free.

I heard alot of bad things about Zagg in the past, but went ahead and ordered it prior to the iPhone Launch (just the easy install, no sides) thanks to a 50% off coupon, and I must say I am very impressed. I like the feel on the front and back and it definetly works.

Not a bad 15$ spent (incld. shipping!)

Yeah, I've been a Zagg supporter since I got one 2 years ago for my 3G. I've since had them on macbooks, etc.

Think the Apple Store gets stock every day. Like I said earlier, I know it sucks but you might just have to bite the bullet and line up there to get one.

So just to be clear they have phones for all carriers or do they have a set amount? I was able to renew my contract with Rogers for less money (see the cell phone retentions thread) and now all I need to do is get an iPhone. And just to verify I can do my hardware upgrade at the Apple store?

An Apple Store acts as a carrier store in all regards, except for negotiating discounted contracts (most carrier stores won't even do that).

Not true. Here they've only gotten them 2-3 times a week. The Apple Store gets SHIPMENTS every day, but whether iPhone 4s are in that shipment, tends to vary. Still, they're getting more than the carrier stores are, and are a better bet for the time being.

Meanwhile even the 8GB 3GSes are hard to find. Sigh.

I was speaking specifically about the Apple Store here in Calgary...

I don't think any of them would get iPhones every day unless ALL of them did. Or maybe they don't sell out as fast over there.
