That's because you are using MyWi 3.x, which has a No Rock version.

For iPhone 4, you need MyWi 4, which is 20$ and requires Rock.

I finally got mine and I can't believe how fast this puppy is. I had my 3G for 2 years and I was so used to the speed that I'm in awe right now.

Still trying to track down an 16gb on Fido, I hate that to do the $250 credit upgrade deal, you have to get it at either a real Fido kiosk or the Apple store.

I've found a bunch of iP4's at "authorized retailers" but they wont let me upgrade there.....jerks!

Now I find myself downloading games I wouldn't dream of playing on the 3G. No more text based Mafia Wars stuff

are there places in Calgary that sell these, not through a service provider?
From what I understand there isn't much stock?

Only Apple sells it unlocked- unless you hit up Kijiji or Craigslist.

But even through a service provider these are hard to get your hands on right?

at the moment yes. should clear up in a few weeks. has been getting easier as of late, if you really want one all you have to do is lineup at the apple store around 7-8am to get one now probably.

2 of my bosses have got iPhone 4's in the past 2 days with little standing in line. I assume that means they are not as short supply as they used to be.

It's all about timing. If you happen upon a store shortly after they get a UPS shipment, they're dead easy to get. Key is being able to get to a store at the right time.

That's the exact method my boss used to get his, even with the same salesman I think. He originally arranged a HTC Desire, because we figured a iPhone 4 would be a hassle to get, but they set one aside for him and gave him enough of a deal on the phone that he went with the iPhone.

Any luck? I sent out a few calls. I gave my name and number to TAC in the north, and calling back Futureshop after their potential 11:30-12 phone shipment.

What happened?

What time did she go down?
How long was it?
Locked or unlocked?

Well.. this morning she was petting it as she put it in her purse.

She got in line around 6:55 AM. She was 14th.
Apple opened up around 9, she left around 10.
Rogers contract for 3 years.

After suffering with a neutered 3G since 3.x firmware came out, I remember why I liked the iPhone in the first place.
