Anybody here from Surrey? What is the gest Rogers dealer to go? Should I go to the Rogers Plus Stores, or a Rogers Dealer not Best buy or Future Shop
I'm not sure, actually. The new plan doesn't kick in until Aug. 8 so I haven't seen how the charges break down yet. If it's on my first bill, I'll call them before paying it.
If you were on Telus I could help you. My friend is working tomorrow either in Port Kells or Walnut Grove and she's holding one for me. She did say if I pay for it outright I can go get it today. She's been sending me pics of her messing with it all day. Doesn't make sense to pay full price for it though.
I don't mind driving out to Port Kells. Can you help me!Haha
yeah I'm driving out from North Van. Let me ask her.
I guess Virgin Mobile will give us price details at midnight since there's this countdown on their website:

Sign contracts. Stay on contract and don't hop between providers every few months.
Tenure and revenue will get you what you want.
I didn't notice that. Probably because I couldn't see what the link shows on their website.
Not for me
I'm still getting Rip Off Pricing!
Woot!
You are eligible to purchase the 16GB iPhone 4 at $649 or the 32GB iPhone 4 at $749
If you set your computer time to past midnight it shows you the "Buy Now" screen which takes you to the store, but no iPhone 4 shows up at the moment.
I've been on the same Bell contract for 5 years (but I'm only on month-to-month right now). I wonder if I can get a discount for being loyal
I am in Montreal and after chatting with Rogers customer service, the Apple Store here, a Rogers franchisee and here and Howard Forums it appears the best chance for my getting an iPhone 4 tomorrow via HUP is to go the Apple store.
The Rogers Franchisee said they are going to get very limited stock tomorrow and they are not going to do HUPS. He said Rogers Corporate would get a lot more but he felt that it is going to be really tight there too with supply. Speaking to the Apple Store here it seems they are getting in large quantities and I was advised they WILL be doing HUPS.
I am not prepared to line up at 3 am or thereabouts and am thinking of taking my chances between 9-12 am tomorrow.
Anything wrong with the above?

the checker doesnt show up for me
edit: NVM 159/269 wooooooooooooooottttttttttttttttttttttttttttt lineup here i come
WOOT, I'm eligible. What bugs me is that I called Rogers three times, the first time they said yes your eligible (spoke to 3 different people). The next time I called I got told no your on a BB you have to wait the 24 months or pay full price (I'm 19 months into my contract). Then I call again and get told I am eligible. Finally I check the upgrade tool and it says I'm eligible. Why oh why can't these carriers get it right. Over on RedBoard everyone who has a BB is being told they have to wait till the 2 yrs is up. It's such a mess an it doesn't have to be....they had plenty of time. Seriously I feel like ringing the CEO and telling him I could do a better job
ugh....I hate people in general.
I've called 2 different apple stores.....Fairview says that only the primary user on the rogers account (and not a level 1 auth user) will be able to do an upgrade tomorrow. Sherway gardens says that if I am an auth user on the account that I can do it without a problem.....who should I believe?
edit: just called square one and they said I could HUp as an auth user on the account as well......
for f's sake, the apple store that I will be going to is the only one that said the primary user needs to be present.

Since when does anything on the Rogers site work properly, especially on the first day they introduce it? I'm sure when I actually go to upgrade with an actual human being, they'll give me the right price.
