If only you said Rogers instead of Bell I would leave and get one and tell my buddy to get the other.

I'm with Bell but unfortunately just got the 3GS in December, and can't afford the full price of the phone.

I picked up 2 at the Apple store this morning. It was a long and painful wait. I was the 12th person in line at 8am. When the store opened at 10am there were 60 or so people behind me. I left the store at around 12:30pm.

Now the syncing begins.

For those familiar with iphone plans, who would you go with for new activation for someone who lives in Calgary

I am currently with Rogers but only have 6 months left on my contract so I have to problem paying to end the contract early if someone new is better to go with.

From what I can tell Rogers has no real deal, Bell has 5 nationwide calling which would help alot because my family all lives in a different area code, Telus seems cheapest for data at least until October 5. I have no personal hate on for any carrier. Has anyone been able to get the activation fee waved?

Thanks.

Hey mykalberta,

What I would do is talk to the retentions people at Rogers, and indicate that you are interested in going with another provider for the new iPhone.

I did this with Fido, and listed the things I wanted for ~$40, and got pretty much everything.

The jist of it is, if you threaten to cancel saying you can get a better deal elsewhere, they will try to keep you and what you get on the plan depends on how good you are with bargaining. I suggest taking a look at the retentions thread for more information on what plans people have gotten

I thought about that but it might be a venture in futility as my bill has been the same for the last 23 months with them 28.74 tax incl. I havent even turned on my phone except on vacation since I got a work Blackberry (rogers phone forwarded) so I am not one of the high value customers. I guess it doesnt hurt to ask but - thanks.

You can get an iPhone from any carrier from the Apple store. I got my Rogers upgrade from there for $159, and it was even billed directly to my account.

Where is a good place to see a review of the 4? Just wondering if there are any bugs or anything with it found so far.

The unlocked line went much quicker.

I bought 2 that were locked to Rogers. Like Fanin80 said, you can get the phones activated to any carrier at the Apple store and be billed to your Rogers account.

Glad to see they've made improvements to the unlocked line - see my post re issues I had above.

But thanks for the info on lines wait times - the wife wants one (locked to Bell) and at some point she'll have to stand in line. Just trying to figure out when.

Update: Just got an email that it's now shipped and I should have it by the 17th.

Got mine too. It's say it will arrive on the 18th. Hopefully it shows up a little sooner and that the shipping date is playing it safe.

While it's nice having the back made of glass mine already has scratches. They are barely visible, and I have been very careful with my phone. The bumper will at least keep it off surfaces to prevent those kind of scratches.

Fido in Market Mall had 5 iPhone 4's today. Three 16 GB and two 32 GB's.

My lady friend snagged the last 32, all three 16's were still there when we left the store 20 minutes ago.

If anyone is still looking the Telus store in Bankers Hall and the Telus kiosk in Scotia Centre each have quite a few 16GB models in stock. I got my mitts on one tonight, very happy so far!
