Happens to quite a few people. You better get it blocked and really bitch about you trying to block it before but the rep said you can't otherwise you'll be stuck with a big bill  | you better hope you get a nice rep as well. there's a reason why they force you to sign that data waiver before you buy the iphone with no data plan attached.

^ they're basically the sim hacks that were used when people didn't know how to unlock the 1.1.2/1.1.3 firmware... just wait it out, they will be able to unlock it soon  | |

currently fogers is not selling iphones without a contract but what happens if you are already in a 3yr iphone contract with them (lets say 3 months in) and you need a new iphone (ie. yours was lost/stolen, damaged, etc.), will they sell you a new one? if so does anyone know how much it will cost?

they have to replace one for you with a purchase price i believe.
i can't imagine signing another 3year contract (which means you have a total of 6 years with them).
but i could imagine extending your contract for another 6-12months if you want to purchase the iphone with contract price.

I had renewed my contract to a 2 year contract (im on cityfido) on May 28th 2008. My contract would end on May 28th 2010. I had called in Fido through 611 and asked how I could upgrade to the iPhone. The first CSR I talked too told me that I could upgrade anytime due to the fact that I have not had a hardware upgrade. Fido gave me a $10 credit on my cityfido and waived the SAF $6.95 fee because I chose not to have a Hardware upgrade. I told the CSR that I would think about it and then I called back the next day and the CSR told me that because I am only 2 months into my contract, I could not get the iPhone until after 1 year of my current contract. I called again right after and got a new CSR and they told me that I could get the iPhone but I would lose my waived SAF (which I knew) AND my $10 credit. I hanged up and called again right after and got a new CSR. That CSR told me that I could not get the iPhone until my contract was up or I decide to pay the $400 cancel fee and get a new plan. I hanged up and dialed again and got a new CSR and finally this one was good. I was able to get the new iPhone, keep my $10 credit, use my 131 fido dollars but pay the SAF. So its not that bad.
Just call a CSR and find out and keep calling back until you get one that helps you out.

People have been saying the 2.0 firmware is still a little buggy so I guess that's to be expected.

I looked at my friend's 3G version today and it was laggy as hell. It took like 10 seconds for the keyboard to pop-up and the typing was slow as hell too... the keys magnified (after you press it) and got stuck for like 2 seconds each. Trying to type like that was ridiculous. It was better after a reboot but it eventually came back. I have a feeling there's some kind of memory leak in the new firmware.

^ mine performs perfectly fine... i don't know what kind of issue your friend has, maybe he has added way too many applications
but yeah i do believe that there is a memory leak since i think 1.1.4 is faster
