iPhone 4G?
iPhone 4GS?
iPhone 5?

Latest news is that they will have a ip5 (~$800) and a cheaper entry model which may be the antique 3GS or ip4S (~$350)

Its more likely $350 for a 3GS as opposed to a 8 gig ip4s as there is no need to pump in all the fancy display/camera/materials since its a "cheapo" model aimed at bargain hunters who want a iphone.

Dude you got so fucking lucky! DAMN lol

Anyone using the Gevey sim? Pros/cons? How do you like it?

I did some research on hofo this morning
http://www.howardforums.com/forum.ph...&forcenoajax=1

Seems like (as of last summer) that the rogers iphones can be activated on fido as long as its brand new, but will then be locked to fido.

What exactly is a "Rogers iPhone"?

Afaik with the iPhone 4 all iPhones are unlocked and come without carrier sim cards inside the box. During the activation process the phone is locked to the carrier network of the inserted sim card.

The ones that you get directly from Rogers stores. Was just trying to clarify that the ones that come directly from Rogers are unlocked already (and will be locked to Rogers or Fido once you activate it with a Rogers or Fido sim), where as if they already come locked to a certain carrier.

I'm trying to clarify before i pull the trigger on one
Apple store is telling me that they all come locked in the box and you can't 'activate' them with a different SIM.

Just wondering if anyone knows, when you get a warranty replacement in store, is it factory unlocked? or still locked on the same provider. I'm asking cause i just got a replacement and they did not specify what provider it was on.

I called the apple store today, and they come unlocked, but if its a warranty replacement they will activate it for you on the spot, and hence locking it for you.

If you plan to use iOS 5 in the Fall, then do not invest in Gevey Sim.

Current iOS 5 beta prevents Gevey Sim from working.

I've have the following issues with my phone.

Some kind of internal rattle if you shake the phone
Drops calls quite often (have a case)
Other end can't hear me but I can hear them

I am un jailbreaking my phone right now and and going to swing by another apple store today. Any recc on which one is the best?

For the internal rattle, this is clearly a big defect that Apple had on iphones for a while. My friend went to the Richmond Centre Apple Store and Apple instantly replaced his iphone with a new one due to this problem. Just take this into the apple store there, they know of this problem and are more than willing to help you out.

Anyone know when the iOS 5 is set to 'release'?

Also, noob question, if I am using jailbroken 4.2.1 do I just update my iOS and I will be back to normal? When I do this, I lose everything I have right? Including contacts?

iOS releases during the fall i believe, if you update to the current 4.3.3 everything will be erased, but before you update it should automatically backup whatever you have i.e text messages/emails/contacts and it will ask you at the end of the update if you would like to load up your back up or just start fresh. If your scared of losing contacts you should create a google email and use google sync

Wow they change their story! When i first got my phone i notice the slight rattle. Brought it to the apple store and they told me its perfectly normal. All the store demo iphones indeed have the same problem. They told me its just the autofocus mechanism....

jayv 07-02-2011 12:43 PM

I was just wondering, do any of you guys know if Apple would replace my phone if i switch to a different provider? I switched to bell a couple of weeks ago without having to pay my cancellation fee, and now I have 2 iphone 4s; a black one w rogers, and a white one for bell. The rogers one is still under my one year warranty so yeah..
Thanks in advance

DanHibiki 07-03-2011 04:26 PM

I wish game center would like you put in notes of friends. I dunno who is a random person and who is from rs

is any of you philipman aka philip1019?

In a bit of a dilemma.
So i bought a iPhone dirt cheap off craigslist ($300).It came with nothing but just the phone itself. I'm not sure if it's stolen or not because when he sold it to me it was restored. I dropped the phone alot and noe the lock button is stiff and doesn't really work. Doesn't click but somewhat works if you press it hard. I took my previous iPhone to the genius bar before and they checked the serial number before giving me a new one to ensure it has warranty. If I remember correctly, all iPhones have 1 year warranty's and has the iPhone been out for a year yet? But getting back to my
Problem, if the phone really is stolen, will they take the iPhone away from me?
