having use software unlocked iphone since 2g. i would say thats sound logic. i opt for the factory unlock on this time around


actualy 1 isn't really possible. most country doesn't have microsim car for pay as go. so you either have to bring a sim cutter with you when you travel or learn to do it yourself (i just did its not as hard as it seems)

"What are the benefits of buying an unlocked iPhone 4?
1. Saving money when traveling: just buy a local Pay As You Go SIM card and pop it into your iPhone 4. Voila! Good bye expensive roaming charges.
2. Controlling your life again: you won’t have to resign 3 years with the “Big 3″ to get your iPhone. Once you are out of your contract, imagine how great it will feel to be able to switch carriers at a whim–because of better pricing and plans–and not having to accrue expensive cancellation fees.
3. Higher resale value: Factory unlocked iPhones are the holy grails on eBay. There will always be a huge demand for factory unlocked iPhones. Many countries don’t have the iPhone and buying overseas on eBay is their only choice.
4. Upgrading next year will be dead easy: Say the iPhone 5 (or whatever it’s called) is released next year. You purchased the iPhone 4 factory unlocked for $659. You sell your iPhone 4 on eBay (or Craigslist) for $550 (I just checked current completed listings and a 16GB iPhone 3GS was recently sold for $557US). You’re only down $109. That’s cheaper than paying the subsidized carrier $199 price–and you will remain contract free.
5. Worry free iOS updates via iTunes: If your iPhone is unlocked via jailbreaking, every time Apple releases a new iOS update you’re stuck in limbo. You can’t update via iTunes or you’ll lose your unlock. You’re reliant on the iPhone Dev Team for their hard work. Now, if you have a factory unlocked iPhone 4, you can just click update and be on your merry way. The unlock will remain forever. No more waiting."


Is this sound logic?
As for reselling the phone, there are too much supply in Vancouver. I am seeing 3G 8gb selling for $150.

Same thing will happen to the iphone 4s when the 5s come out.

when you go and lineup at 6am / early morning before opening, how do you even know if they have enough stock? LOL

if im correct, some people can be lining up in the morning, then realizing 2-3 hours later when the store opens that there isnt enough for you who have been waiting?? hahahaha...or is there a person that actually tells you that the first XX will be guaranteed one

you will have to line up before the store opens. Once it opens, they usually hand out these cards to guarantee you that you will have one.

What was fucking stupid was that they didn't hand out tickets and wouldn't tell anyone how many they had. I got there at 7 which according to this weekly trend was plenty of time. They had the staff come out at 830 telling everyone they were still counting stock (promising news if it takes them a long time). 1015ish rolls around and they announce no 32's are left. 1020 hits and they announce they only had 50 phones. Are u kidding me? It took you over 2 hours to count 50 phones? Not to mention ppl could have just left and not have wasted their time. I made it out of the hallway too and joined the centre maze line up and was maybe 20-30 ppl away from cut off.
