MORE INFO ON FIDO CUSTOMERS!!
Just called Wireless Wave here's what they told me:
Fido customers who bought the 3GS last year on launch with a 3 year deal ARE ABLE TO UPGRADE AT $199.
There is NO 3 YEAR EXTENSION.
You start fresh, deletes your existing 2 year contracts and you will start a new 3 year contract.
Only catch is, you cannot do this on launch date. Fido will release details on when 3GS customers can do an upgrade.

Yeah, except for that no launch day garbage...
Also, anyone planning to Sherway Mall it on friday?
You will need to have a Canadian credit card in order to make the purchase of an Unlocked iPhone 4. If you have one then yes you can get it unlocked without any plan at all. Just the bare phone in your hands and do what you want after.
Telus and Fido have 'leaked' their prices over the past few days but Apple hasn't announced their unlocked prices. I'm going to guess $699/$799 will be the prices.
The carriers will attempt to sell it cheaper for a no-term plan but even if you save $30-$50 off the phone price just spend the extra and get it unlocked....
You shouldn't need a Canadian credit card to purchase an unlocked iPhone 4 at a retail store, since retail stores don't perform any address verification. You only need a credit card with a Canadian billing address to purchase from the Apple Online Store, but you also need a Canadian shipping address.
Hmm...
Not on launch day eh. What gives.
If it's true Rogers will probably do the same.

yeah that's kinda iffy for me but i'm just glad i don't have to lock down for 5 more years
Is this confirmed? Thank you for the info because I'd hate to drive there for nothing. Worse comes to worse I could get cash and pay it out right.
Yep. Finally eh. Well, I think it was obvious that this would happen. Last minute.
Oh well at least we will know the day before launch.
There have been many posts about Apple not accepting non-Canadian credit cards in their stores. But cash is an option, not sure if they would refuse it like they did with the iPad launch as it is harder to track. Hopefully they won't refuse $700 cash
Just called Applestore square one, they will take cash, credit and debit for unlocked iPhone 4's in store. They prefer credit, but will take all methods.
For me it's either that or a local Rogers Plus. The Rogers Plus will be a bit more knowledgeable about my account, have less lineup, have less phones. It's what I did last year. Apple store will have more stock, way more line, and OPENS EARLY! (super important due to work).
Anyone know if Rogers Plus' have any early open plans?

Question: it seems pretty much confirmed that Rogers will have the 6gb 30$ plan.
Currently i am on a retentions voice+data pack that is 500mb with a 5$ add-on for double data totalling gb.
Needless to say the entire package is 50$ after all credits.
How would i go about upgrading that to 6gb? Since this is a combined voice and data plan would i need to restructure my whole plan? Should i be calling retentions today to get that sorted out?

Rogers has not confirmed the $30/6gb plan, they will release more info tomorrow.
You might want to consider speaking to retentions about this. You may need to restructure your plan depending on how it is setup, but most retention plans should be separate data fee so it should be somewhat easy to keep your voice services and switch the data to the 6gb one, you will most likely lose the $5 option to double the data.
No way I see Rogers doubling 6gb to 12gb 😛

That stinks. I was told by a rogers rep that I will be able to upgrade on launch day. If I can't I will be pretty pissed.
