stuff99 08-12-2010 08:22 AM

Just order online.

saucywoman 08-12-2010 08:37 AM

does anyone know when rogers cust svc will be getting more in stock?

Vinny G 08-12-2010 09:36 AM

LOL this is getting ridiculous. Lining up at 11pm and 2am 2 weeks after launch? Even worse for the people who leave empty-handed hahah.

Guess there's just too much of a gotta have it now mentality these days... line ups for games, lineups for phones.

I dunno why most of you guys are lining up. iPhone 4 can be unlocked, and there are the occasional people selling on craigslist for 750-800 for 16gb. They retail 740ish after tax anyways. All that time waiting in line when you could of been working a full day shift or however amount of time you waited in line, IF people worked those days, they could of just paid the marked up price of the phones.

I personally waited, and lurked craigslist and picked up a fido locked one for 750, unlocked it and all set

bcedhk 08-12-2010 09:25 PM

i got 120 profit off my iphone. worth waiting 5 hours

cctw 08-12-2010 09:25 PM

^cos I'm 3 months into my new contract after I got my x10 in april and getting it for $159 with rogers is a much better deal than $750

Software unlocked is never as good as factory unlocked. Factory unlock also have a higher resale value so some people would rather wait in line and pay $740 for a factory unlocked version then pay $750 for a Fido locked version. The person you bought the phone from probably went back and got themselves a factory unlocked version and made $11

rk604 08-13-2010 02:33 AM

^^^
understandable, value wise you'd get more for "true" unlocked ones. But i really don't see any difference between factory unlocked and software unlocked. Yeah maybe the guy did make 11$...but he had to wait in line a few hours...thats a probably a couple dollar an hour. All that work for that little? when he could of just worked...even mcdonalds would of gotten you wAAAYYYYY more

DJ Milk 08-13-2010 02:47 AM

Opps, actually he made more then that, at least $570 since he got it under contract. But probably spent it all on an unlocked version :inout:

When you buy it of craigslist, there is a information problem. What if your $700 phones breaks after 1 week of use? Then you are pretty much SOL.

What information problem? Doesnt all iphones have a 1 year manufacturer warrenty? Can't you just bring it into the apple store and get it fixed?
