So they can't let you leave with an unlocked iPhone 4 at carriers | |

no death grip issues with Bell at Broadway and Heather.
tested several customer's iPhone and no issue.
two out of the five phones did drop one bar but regained signal a second later.

Think Apple fixed this issue internally with their new batch of phones or do we just have better cell networks up here in Canada?

Got the phone this morning w/ no line up at Oakridge Telus.. my first 3G phone, and man is it a world of difference from my old HTC diamond. Push e-mail is actually usable, browsing is awesome, input (text, etc) are blazing fast!
No death grip issue here!

Wow, Rogers charged me the $159 fee "With new activation on a 3-year voice and data plan" when I already had a plan and was supposed to pay $399 for the hardware upgrade.
I guess the Rogers guy made a mistake!  | |

just a reminder: Even if you're not having reception problems, make sure you guys download the case program to get your choice of free case or bumper for your iPhone 4. http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/iphon...383941000?mt=8 | |

When you buy the phone outright with no contract at the apple store they put the phone on one receipt and the microsim on another, and thus that phone will remain factory unlocked.
If you upgrade your contract with any of the cellular providers at an apple store, your phone AND the microsim is combine into one receipt, the moment apple scan that into the system your phone is now lock to that microsim's provider.
You can do the activation at home or at apples it makes no difference because they lock the phone to the provider at the time of the purchase not at activation.
Don't do activations in store, you can easily do that yourself at home and the apple "activation genius" sure like to take their sweet time.

Would you have to go to Rogers to buy the microsim? When you activiate it at home with the microsim (rogers) would it lock the phone again?

QUESTION:
Compare your 3g and 4 side by side... do you guys see that the 3g has a brighter and "cooler" coloured screen?
I am comparing it side by side, and I found
1. The display is "yellower" on the 4 compared to the bright white i see on the 3g
2. It seems the 4's display is a bit narrower (maybe illusion since the 4 is narrower)
anyone confirm?

anyone confirm? | i dont have a iphone 4 to compare, but i noticed the same thing when i compared different iphone 3gs, i think its due to different batches of lcds the manufacture used. some have a cooler color while others have warmer colors.
on a side note, look at the craigslist prices for the iphone4, 900 for a 16gb and 1200 for a 32gb LOG
