16 GB White/Silver - 273 on wait list at Rogers.com I tried ordering it at 3 AM, but the whole site crashed and I wasn't able to get it ordered until a few minutes after 6 AM. Hopefully it comes relatively quickly.
which rogers? I'm in Hamilton and have been calling around. Can't find one store that has them :-(

If we go to the apple store on Friday or anytime after that to get a nano sim, will we have to pay for one or do we get it for free?
I heard that they would give it to us for free? Not sure though.
I have a SIM for Fido (personal) and Telus (work) for my 4S...
Can I get new nano-Sims in advance? If so, can I switch my service over to the new nano-sims myself when my phone arrives? How?
Or do I need to take my phone to a carrier retailer and have them swap SIM cards?
What are the logistics/processes for switching sim cards?

Not sure why Telus (or Rogers, or Bell) wouldn't just ship a nano-SIM with the phone. Nothing else will work with it.
Actually, just checked my Telus order, and a nano-SIM was included automatically.

Tried to get a sim in montreal from fido. Doesn't seem possible. Got a LTE sim and am going to cut it down
In case I missed an earlier post, has anyone in Canada found a place which has the nano sims available today? I've called multiple places in North Vancouver and been told:
1: "What? No, there not even in Canada. We'll have them on the 21st but only for contract phones."
2: "I don't know. Friday maby?"
3: "No."

Mine dropped by about 120 spots too. I think there are some cancellations occurring due to the 16GB limitation.
I went to talk to a Rogers representative in my local town in Southern MB. After telling him that I was 516th in line for a white 16gb model, he told me not to expect one on launch day.
I don't know if this is because I live in a rural area or because they won't have stock. So, take it for what its worth.
Some people's statuses have changed. I was in the 200s when I reserved w/Rogers and I'm now listed as "in progress."
Cool.....I just found a rogers store that had them and begrudgingly sold me one hehe.
Damn Telus doesn't let us check on the status. It's going to be a long few days until it ships.
Picked up my nanoSIM from the store today as well.
Also, I just checked my sister's reservation on Rogers.com and she's moved up about 850 spots! She's number 650 for a 16GB White now when it was 1500 just last night. That's awesome!
