iPhone Workshop: Getting Started @ EATON CENTER?

Yeah theres a load of people that are buying and unlocking them to use them for rogers, and then spending their life savings on the plans from rogers.


I work at best buy, and they dont run off commission. Best buy owns future shop, but it is its own completely separate entity. They have different stuff on sale, and some different prices on stuff. its actually a pretty sweet job tho, the discount is everything at cost, same price the company pays. In regards to the iphone blurb on the website, meh. Id to the same, the iphone is making huge headlines up here even without being able to be sold, why not take advantage and try to get people to get on the media list?
 
I can't take it anymore. With so many leaks and screw-ups about the iPhone here in Canada, I can only imagine it will come out here the day I buy one in the States. This is torture. What are peoples' opinions? Should I buy now or wait it out? I'm sooo confused.

(ROGERS+:apple:)? Eventually?
 
waaaaiiiiiiitttt. I'm waiting. I figure that since I have waited this long now, I can wait until iPhone v2 comes out before I bother getting one. Either that or Apple is waiting a long time for v2 debut since it is taking so long to adopt this device worldwide. If it comes to Canada and there is a hardware update a month later, we'll see a lot of unhappy Canadians [I hope].
 
Keep in mind that if you buy one now and unlock it, you may not be able to legitimately activate it for Rogers in the future, therefore are permenantly not getting visual voicemail. I'm assuming that there would be a list of IMEIs tied to country of sale...

That's a pretty big risk to me.

Ya I'm in the same boat, surely v2 must be coming out soon. I think I'm going to hold out till the new year for a 16gig iPHone
 
Well, here's hoping. My phone was due for replacement a year ago, and I've been holding out in hopes that the iPhone would come to Canada. Mind you, no evidence that the name issue has been sorted out in Canada yet.

Yep. Even among university students. Do people buy them in the states and unlock them or something? Is it really that easy? I don't really keep up on iPhone stuff, not until Apple releases a more traditional, consumery-sort of phone. I don't care much for a touch screen.
 
So if the Iphone would be released in canada on january 18th... then that would put it dangerously close to the Keynote....

That would mean that SJ would have to say something about it... and i'm thinking that would be very painful to jobs... has he EVER said the word Canada in a keynote?


He loves the states, he loves the UK... but what about his neighbor up north?

No Itunes movies/tv, no iphone....


No... he must have been peeved off by a canadain once...

i wouldn't keep your hopes up, there are a billion people who hear these rumors and they're mostly BS, or at least mostly so.

What i think you should do is wait until january, they're either going to release it for x-mas, or release it in sept or late august for the next school year/x-mas.

I heard a rumor myself even today that it was coming out by the end of this month. Basically i was talking to a friend of mine and he said something like, well it's going to be released by the end of this month anyways! so of course, me being gullible, i say REALLY???? and then he kind of shut right up about it. So what i gather is either he knows something i don't, or he's just a fool. :p

IMHO it won't come out for x-mas, it's WAY to late for that, unless they rolled it out in canada on the day of announcement and they announced it before end of this week.

Thats just my 2 cents.
