I think this has been posted before, but most stores are gearing towards new sign-ups rather than renewal of contracts.
A friend of mine stepped into a store and they said "No iPhones available", and then he said he was there to sign a new contract, they immediately brought one out.
Commission! People will do anything to get the most $$, but what else can us consumers do?

China will be selling iphone4 in Sept, but it will be much more expensive due to
the heavy tax. Cell phone providers have announced the price is going to be
around $850cdn in China (only if you order it with their dataplan). I don't think
there's problem making good profit from them.
People sell iphone4 at cellphone malls in either HK or China.

Yeah, except all the stores are just selling them first come first serve. The rogers store I got mine at had a waitlist of over 100 people, but I walked in when they got three 32GB's and was the 2nd one. Third was gone within 10 mins to the guy behind me in line.

I was thinking of ordering one online and selling the locked Rogers. I think I'll probably get the iPhone from Apple quicker than if I looked around locally.

So can someone confirm that if I go in an Apple store, I can use my Fido Dollars and whatever credit I have? I called in Fido/Retentions and they all said different things. Retentions said I'm able to buy the phone full price at Apple, and my next invoice will give me the credit back or something?? :S

That goes for signing contract under Fido/Rogers/Bell/Telus at Wirelesswave AND Apple Store.
If you sign or HUP at Apple Store then the phone will be locked to the provider you signing / HUP.
The only way to get an unlock iPhone 4 is to pay the full price without any contract or upgrade at Apple Store or buy from Apple website.

Walked past the Wireless Wave stand today at the PNE and the sign said they had iPhone 4's available. Dunno if they'll have any on Sunday.

People sell iphone4 at cellphone malls in either HK or China. | I'm in Hk right now, the supply is no where near as tight as say a week ago. You can order from most kiosk in hk and get it within a week. Yes they still sell for above retail but the profit margin isn't really their for individual sellers anymore compare to say the first 2 week of launch.
Keep in mind that while asian has a huge demand there are also source coming from all over the world. Europe, US, Australia, Japan, not to mention it can be software unlocked now making the supply even less tight

I've heard that unlocked iphones bought from Apple.ca do not include microsim cards, yet unlocked iphones bought from Apple retail stores include one free microsim.
For anyone who bought one off Apple.ca, is there a way to get a free microsim?

^ Go to a Apple store with your receipt and they should give you a micro-sim.

iphones from eu, us, jp, aus are considered "water product" (no warranty)
and it's cheaper to buy it in HK. Hongers just love to sell their iphones for
extra hundred bucks. Sell 2 iphone4 = pretty much a free iphone4. Why not?
My manager sold 4 iphones and 1 ipad, he made like $1500cdn profit  | |
