Got my 2 32s and what I found so funny was that they used windows XP to do the activations on the Rogers site. I asked him and he's like "yeah the providers web based system only works on windows..." I lold. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Doors to Oakridge are at the Kims farm market side and they open super early cause they use the security entrance. PCs east facing entrance was open as well. I opened the first door I saw out of the skytrain.

Is it safe to assume that they actually have a huge stockpile in the back, but are only allowed to sell X amount of iPhones per day? So if I go line up tomorow @ 6 or 7, are my chances of getting one good ?

You will need the unlock for those phone. If you are willing to shell out the full price i don't see any reason not to buy factory unlocked.
But yea the unlock for ip4 right now is still under development. lot of report bugs and major battery drain. It will get better though no doubt, i had it software unlock on my 3g and it was relatively stable and minimal is any extra battery drain.

when you renew your contact don't you just start a new 3yrs? the remaining contract time doesn't get added on top of your new contract.

You gotta be pretty stupid if that's the case.

On my last renewal, I had 14 months left on my contract, then I upgraded to iphone 3g and had a fresh contract.
But now there stacking contracts.
