Can you steal wifi while you're in your car moving along?
Or how about in the bus/skytrain?
That's why data is so useful

but i don't need to check my email or browse RS while i am driving...
i found that the only time i use my wi-fi on my w960 is in class, at blenz, or when i parked somewhere waiting for people...
if there is no unlocked wifi, too bad. i will do some other things.
the thing i want to know is whether or not the phone's wi-fi feature will be locked to only fido/roger's network. which would suck because the iphone will just be identical to Blackberrys... (minus an ipod)

ur lookin at 200units to a mere 8 units per store depending
my initial overview of the phone

hand writing recognition is a software upgrade (iPhone 2.0) to any iphone. Even the old iphone can upgrade the software and have hand writing recognition on their phone!
Nothing really special about it... especially when everyone going to have one next week.

I thought it was that Rogers/Fido iPhone customers get free access to those WiFi spots (they're usually paid). WiFi can't be locked, Apple won't give that sort of option to a carrier, let alone one like Rogers.  | |

for one thing
stores will be required to have a wifi connection for the demo lines
how htey get it, up to the store, so wifi cant be locked
plus, this is an APPLE product.
apple wants their product to be same thing in quality and what the user expects whether it be from China, Japan, UK, Australia, USA and Canada
so it will not be locked
Apple loves their image, and the iPhone police is out there to bust dealers!

Camping out in Vancouver
I thought the iPhone was old news here, everyone had it last year. Adding a few bells and whistles (3G, 16gb etc) does not make it new.
