ouch... sucks for you guys.

Yea I understand your pain and not so much why apple doesn't give a quick announcement of stock...

chances are the incoming box has total stock count on the invoice

For the people who bought one today, how long did it take to finish the whole ordeal?

Nice, at least you are getting one now. Worth waking at 6 am. Let us know when you actually pick up the phone and the process time, it's 12:18 now.

It seems like each day the line up starts earlier and earlier. Yesterday I got there about 7:50am and there was at least 50-60 people ahead of me and tickets got cut off about 10 people behind me.

maybe it'll be like on launch day all over again since it's the first weekend after launch and many people who want it couldn't/can't line-up during the weekdays.

They said they completely ran out of stock. Next time they will have stock will be on Monday. But that's just Apple.

Same with me I don't know how to get one since I'm not going to wait in line. If I order from apple can I get it applied to my rogers bill for the same 269?

according to the CSR that helped me, Pacific Centre has more iPhones than Oakridge..

Pacific Centre said that they are "sold out" as of now... but I have a feeling that there'll still be lineups tomorrow early in the morning and they will have more iPhones to sell according some insiders from iphoneincanada.ca

There are just so much demand in Vancouver, I am in Ottawa right now and they have plenty of stock.

I lined up after work at 5pm on launch date, waited 15 minutes and had a choice of 16 or 32 gb...

typical apple

Maybe Vancouver has a more wealthier population compared to Ottawa?

Got mine this evening. Thought I'd go into the apple store in pacific center and they made me wait about 20 minutes. then fido took literally 1 hour renewing my contract. for some reason my pin wouldn't work. ends up they had to change my pin and use a new one. they said the phone would start working itself but it hasn't yet. The old sim still works. anyone know how to fix this?
