Also, I do travel to the states so I am excited about being able to throw an AT&T iPad sim card in there to have data while I am away.

What plan do you get when you are down there?

Also, for those doing a HUP. You must be the account holder to HUP and not an authorized user on the account.

At the Eaton Centre yesterday I asked that question to a pair of employees. The guy immediately said they didn't know, but the girl interrupted and said "No, we are allowed to tell them that", and went on to explain that both locked and unlocked phones would be available for sale on Friday. You can take that for what it is worth, but obviously employees have been briefed and have been sworn to secrecy about it.

Was told by someone at Sherway that they would be selling both locked and unlocked units. They also are currently selling unlocked 3GSs in store.

I am not worried about voice, just data (I can use skype if I need to make a call!)

I have an iPad and already have an AT&T microsim, so I can activate a 30 day plan on the ipad while in the states, swap the sim, update carrier settings, and then I am good to go!

I'm confused how the stocks still havn't arrived

and the launch is set to go on the 30th 1 day away.

Maybe they're waiting until the day before to deliver the stock.

From what I understand, the Apple stores rarely get new product super early. It's usually the afternoon before launch.

Well a coworker was calling the local bell/rogers dealers here, and the bell one didn't have ANY iphones, 3g, 3gs, or 4 in stock, not getting 4 for at least 2 weeks AFTER the launch date. The rogers store did at least have 3gs phones in stock, but didn't have a date for when the 4s were going to come in.

Granted I'm living in a small town in the technological 4th world of canada (woodstock, NB), but still, WTF apple?

Not that I expect to see a demo of the Droid X before new year's, but I would love to play with one of those. I am still on the fence. If the iPhone 4 had a bigger screen I'd probably be more excited by it.

*edit*
I'm looking at getting any phone unlocked, for the simple reason I got my n97 in January so I wouldn't qualify for a HUP for at least a year and a half from now. I don't find the price that bad considering what the buyout prices of most "free" phones actually are.

i live in a small town as well, im calling fido tomorrow if they don't know if they're getting it on Friday or not. I'm going to best buy, lining up at 7.30am best buy opens at 10am. Lets hope not alot of people buy the fido version.

Sorry to resurrect this argument but as I read through it all there seems to be a nasty vibe here. The Joker-Eh challenged knightwrangler to provide facts to back-up his statement which is fine. BUT, then he also insulted and pre-judged the guy based on where he lives. Not very neighbourly, IMO.

Then when knightwrangler was upset about the prejudice comment made by the Joker, he kept it going.
