Did you order it online or something? I'm still waiting for them to show up in stores. I'll give a $25 itunes gift card to anyone who can point me to where I can get two 32GB 3Gs. I'm not a patient person.

I was forunate enough to upgrade from a 3G, which means I had to order it through Rogers customer service (and they had to mail it to me). I know there's a message at their customer service line that says they are still trying to meet demand.

I lucked out and got one today at the Roger's Store near Chinook Mall. But there was a lineup to get them so I imagine they'll be gone quickly.

Anyone else having problems with your SMS' this weekend?

Looks like im getting one of these on Monday. I hope its all Im dreaming.... and MORE!

Any Americans out there with a Palm Pre.

I am trying to decide what to get- it or the iphone 3GS. I have read a tonne of head to heads, reviews, etc and still haven't made up my mind. More user experience couldn't be a bad thing.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Personally when I was deciding, I went with which was more popular and abundant in the marketplace, that usually guarantees more support / software / developers etc.

Nintendo / genesis
vcr / beta

i left it on a table at a bar, they found it, put it behind the bar and then it got taken

I've got a phone that won't boot. No idea why, it just crashes then shuts off during the boot process with the apple logo. I can restore it if I go into DFU mode, and it usually works for a few days, but eventually it crashes and I have to do it all over again.

My warranty apparently expired 19 days ago. Anyone have any suggestions?

Book an appointment at the Apple store. Tell them it started at the begining of the month and has been intermitent since then. You thought it was fixed by restore but it happened again.

They will most likely take care of you.

I know the iphone has a lot of great features... which is all fine and dandy. But How does it function as an actual phone? How is sound/voice quality on calls. I have read that it is really poor.

Anyone with that kind of experience?

[Russic]

Does anybody have an issue with it dropping in and out of a wifi signal? My 3g always stayed connected, but my 3gs is quickly dropping off the wifi and then reconnecting right away. Usually i wouldn't care, but if you're trying to download a big podcast or app, or using it as a remote for music the stopping and starting is very annoying. I've tried forgetting the network and then rejoining, but it just keeps happening. Any tips?

I've heard a lot of that from the states, and I know some people report dropped calls in Canada, but I've only experience one dropped call in over a year of use. That being said I don't use it much as a phone, but it works well for me.

NM: phone has been found!

I have been pretty happy with the voice quality so far and I am not a fan of cell phone call quality as a rule.

After I posted this I actually took a call and noticed it was very clear and crisp.

[metallicat]

Yeah, I've had zero issues with phone call quality.

They did take care of me. I love Apple.

[Doctordestiny]

I find the iPhone's sound quality as a phone very good. I do dislike that the screen is so hard to read in sunlight.

[MoneyGuy]

Is there a way I can block calls to my iPhone from a certain number so my phone doesn't even ring when that number calls me?

[3 Justin 3]

Damn, I want an iPhone. I haven't read anything from this thread, but if I were to get one, which network is better, Fido or Rogers. Or are they together now (I thought my friend told me that)?

Same company/network. Rogers owns Fido.
