Any idea when the next IP4 shipment will arrive on store?
I was told next week by Rogers Ottawa, but not sure.

The Rogers store I got mine from said they were expecting them to arrive late this week, probably thursday-friday. All taken by waiting list customers of course.

Thanks
That confirms what I heard!

my fido stoe told everyone else shipments are coming in next in 3 weeks.

Apple store told me possibly Tuesday, but he admitted that he didn't know for sure.

Can't wait for the call from Rogers telling me it's there! Hopefully this week.

yet another reason to just go to an apple store. All the jerks who waited in line won't last forever. Apple stores are going to have the most stock,

Does the apple store at rideau have any left?

I was told maybe Wednesday from the APPLE store.

I don't think Rideau has any left. But they are the one to line up in front when the next batch arrives!

My friend was able to get a 16Gig at Rideau on Sunday at noon. They had 12 left. It took her all of 15 minutes to upgrade on rogers from her 3G. I might stop in tomorrow and see if there is one left for me :-)

Just called Rideau to confirm, all sold out. Expecting a shipment later this week, first come first serve.

Glad to hear Apple confirming this week arrival!

I was there on Sunday and they told me they didn't have any. It was around 11am when I was there. Why would they tell some people they have it and others they don't? :mad:

maybe they got a small shipment in? personally i'd be surprised if they aren't getting multiple small shipments in everyday now that the large stocks for the initial launch have been depleted, they'll be stocking them just as fast as the workers over in China can build them...

Maybe it depended on which carrier? I don't know, but my friend said she was there at noon.

Whatever. I'm going in tomorrow before they open. If I wait until they're open and call in every day it'll be too late.

They were out of 32GBs Friday PM already.
Hopefully they will receive more this time.

Any news of Toronto shipments or is it going to be a lottery?

Both Apple store reps I called said they didn't know when they were getting more in, but to "call back." Yeah right.

Whatever. I'm going in tomorrow before they open. If I wait until they're open and call in every day it'll be too late.

I'll probably do that too. I need to go to the mall tomorrow anyway.
Wait around at Fido, stop at T Booth, Wireless Wave, etc.

I was told by a friend at Best Buy today that they "might be getting one or two at the end of the week" and that they're getting shafted in terms of iPhones.

well tomorrow, I'm going to the Apple store here in Ottawa and I hope I can get one :)

Good luck!
Keep us updated please :)

Any lines today? Any news on shipment?

Apple Rideau staff told me possibly tomorrow, however they don't know for sure.

Thanks

I was at T Booth in whiteoaks in London and they told me they're expecting a shipment today or tomorrow. Not sure how they know when no one else does.

Was just talking to a Rogers Plus manager and he stated that the next shipment of iPhone 4's would be next week but he was unsure if any would be allocated for their location. This was the St. Thomas location.

No lines at Fairview Mall. Same story in-store and over the phone: no stock currently but try calling back.

They seem to be expecting a general store shipment in today, but don't know if they're getting any more phones.

I get the feeling the Apple stores will be replenished first. It'll be a long time for the carrier stores and dealers.

I agree - Apple Stores will get more first, I bet. Even if they get them at the same time as the other store, they'll get more units (see: Launch day!)

And yes, Apple Retail Stores get a "general Shipment" every single day (that's what they've told me in the past) but apparently they (the general workers I bet) don't know what'll be in those shipments.

I was at T Booth in whiteoaks in London and they told me they're expecting a shipment today or tomorrow. Not sure how they know when no one else does.

I think t-booth is telling everyone that. They put me on a list on launch day, saying they were getting a shipment any minute. I even hung around to see, but nothing came in. While I was waiting a store clerk told another customer he had no idea if and when they were getting their shipment - a manager gave him a lecture afterwards and told him that their answer was "we're getting some any minute, we'll put you on our list"

It's been 5 days now and no call from them. I guess Apple left them out in the cold for this launch!!

Besides... can't they track packages just like we can? Bogus.

Yorkdale got a shipment. I'm in line now. It could be hours but it looks like I'll get a 16GB.

do they have any 32GB??

Any in Rideau?

It seems like the rest of Canada is being ignored so they can supply the Apple stores. Kind of sucky.
I'm sure the supplies will be at normal levels in a couple weeks. As in, anyone can get one anywhere.

Honestly, I think a couple of weeks is way too optimistic. Keep in mind that the iPhone 4 launched in the US end of June and they're still having massive shortages.

Apple Eaton Centre got a shipment as well. I was told that I shouldn't bother to come down as they already had a line up with more people in it than phones. :(

Gahhhhh...:(

I want an iPhone 4!

I don't really live close to any Apple Stores either. I have to drive about 40 minutes to get to the closest one, and then they will probably be sold out by the time I get there.

I was just at the Rogers store in Upper Canada mall and they told me that they weren't getting any more until next month? What the heck?

The thing is that when they say "we wont be getting more for a month" or two weeks or whatever, what they're actually saying is "we have no idea when we're getting any or how many we're getting". I'm going to Toronto in a couple days so if anyone wants to come loiter outside an Apple store, let me know ;)

Eaton Centre got a "very limited number"....and the lineup is from the Apple store to Indigo. Ouch.

Just got mine at rideau, only had 16gb left but seemed to be plenty for the line. Only about 25 people in it when I left.

None left at rideau

That was fast. Rogers didn't get any. It seems all is going to Apple.
Still looking for the 32GB gold!

APPLE stores are the only place that has em as far as I can tell. I got mine TODAY. 2 hour wait! w00t

I was planning to hold out for the 32... but realistically... I sync almost everyday... and 16 has suited me fine for 2 years with the 3g... so I caved to my impatience, and glad I did! :D No more laggy 3g with iOS 4 for me :D... as a side note... anyone looking to buy a used Fido 16GB 3G in good condition, always had both screen protecter and case for it.

Congrats to all the new owners.
Wish us luck!

I have lots of movies on my 3GS 32GB so I need an IP4 that can sync all of them. And frankly for $100 more, I think it's worth it.

I would like to say that the APPLE store is the ONLY place I would go for all phone purchases. The APPLE dude was super patient and helpful.

I'm still hoping I will get lucky and be able to drop into an Apple store sometime this month and pick one up without having to wait a whole day there. After wasting over six hours at Fairview Mall on Friday and coming home empty handed I'd really rather not have to wait that long again.:rolleyes:

Talked to a Rogers Plus Manager today in Stittsville (outside Ottawa). He said they won't be receiving any for 3 - 6 weeks. They had a sign indicating you should leave your contact info with the staff and you would be contacted when you arrive. The Manager told me if you answered when they called, they would hold a unit for 24 hours. If you didn't answer, you would be removed from the list.

A question - if I were to do an upgrade through Rogers at an Apple Store, would I pay for the phone or would it be added to my Rogers bill?

What's the procedure for waiting in line? Is it just like.. one forms when they get more in stock? Or is there a designated iPhone waiting area?

I went to the Apple Store at Square One Mississauga today at 12:45. I walked out of the store with an iPhone 4 at 5:45. They cut the line off at 1:45, and gave tickets that guaranteed an iPhone to the people who survived the cut off (so to speak). All in all, I'm happy and I have my 32gb phone! You're going to be waiting for a long time at those Rogers stores, I'm guessing.

I waited 5 hours for a 16GB at Yorkdale. Freaking Fido upgrade!!!

Verytiredmustsleepnowoncephoneissynched

Went to fairview at 9:15am today, waited around till 10am opening and apple/rogers/bestbuy mobile had none, went over to york dale, there by 10:30am? just as they where puting out the sign saying they had some, i was 4th inline took 1:15 or more just becuse of problems with upgrade not showing, then switching to my new retntion plan.
Picked up a clear case and car charger down the hall at a kiosk forabout $30?.
Also purchased the apple care, and thinking of getting the mobile me???

Sounds like they get shipments everyday in the am, so just show up early with a newspaper.

I hope more will arrive tomorrow!

I was today at noon at the Apple store in Ottawa and I got my iPhone 4! :D
Waited 3.5hrs for it.

I got to the apple store in Ottawa at about 4 (there were only about a dozen people in line in front of me so I quickly got in line, I'm pretty sure they sold out within an hour of me leaving the store) I was out by 5 with a 16gb (sadly no 32's were left), but all in all was very fast (fido's system worked like a charm even surprising the Apple chick :P ), only about 30 min wait, and 20 min in store activating... and I LOVE it!

Just FYI, I was standing in line at the Market Mall Apple store today, expecting to get a 16gb because that's what they said they had in stock, and about an hour into the wait they announced they just received a shipment of 32gb! So they're being shipped to Apple Stores quickly at least. Don't know about Rogers stores however...

And to answer the question as long as you've been a customer for over a certain length of time it is added to your bill. I was also able to use my Fido Dollar's and got $50 bonus fido dollars for renewing a 3 year contract... in total my new iphone cost me less than $40 :D The ONE downside is that my contract stacked so I'm locked in for about 4 more years (I had a little over 1 year left) I can't say I care too much about this though as I'd probably be staying with fido that long or longer anyways... and I'll be able to upgrade again before then... though of course if that contract stacks too it will start to become a little ridiculous...

Well i was the Rideau Centre at 4 and just happened to walk by the Apple Store and I noticed a lineup, got curious and they told me they got a shipment this morning (even after I called at 11am and they clearly told me they didn't get any and should get them tomorrow). So I was able to do a hardware upgrade and get my girlfriend (who patiently waited in line for 9hrs in Toronto with me) a 16GB model. The lineup at 4:30 only took about 30 mins and 15 minutes later I had a phone for her :)

Finally got to try out Facetime, looks really neat!

Seems to me the people answering the phones are lying. Because I called the Rideau Apple store at noon and was told they did not have any in stock and were not expecting until tomorrow. Now I find out someone was there at noon picking up an iPhone 4? WTF?

Very frustrating experience trying to upgrade so far. I have until Friday to find one before I leave for Australia, otherwise I have to carry an iPod AND a digital camera AND a video camera. I'm trying to pack light, and the iPhone 4 is perfect, but it looks like there's no chance in hell I'll be getting one before I leave.

It seems the best way to get one from Rideau is to hang out infront of the store whole day! And then again they had no 32s.

Yeah I'm sure why they were telling us they didn't get any stock in, they could have been honest!

I really want the 32GB iPhone, but I REALLY don't want to line up for it!!!

Just back from the AS Ottawa Rideau, and a sales told me that they have not received any new devices yet. He wouldn't tell me when they received those from yesterday either, and I don't want to lose my entire day sitting in front of that store just to get a phone :o(
I might try again around noon today and then around 4:30pm today, see if I have any luck.

Thanks for the update. I' also drop by at noon and update the forum if there's any news.

Why the h**k don't they open a twitter account and update us when the shipment arrives, and then first come first server as usual.
I don't understand why they don't communicate on the main question asked by their customers, knowing there are so easy ways to do it nowadays...
I guess the walk back and forth to the store won't hurt me for sure ;-) but the loss of working time is a major hassle...

I agree. Or just keep an "In store inventory" online.
This reminds me of Wii launch. The BB & FS sites were always updated the night before and even flyers were emailed when new Wii stock was coming in.

LOL. Dare to dream. :)

32gb in stock at rideau hurry!

Sorry tried to post quickly, apple rideau has 50-60 32gb in stock, waiting in line for mine woohoo!

Thanks. I'll be there.

Any idea how many 16GB models they have in stock?

I don't get out of work until 5. I don't expect to be any left, but if they have that many 32GB, then you never know!

According to Twitter, Eaton Centre has them too, but a 3+ hour lineup... :S

No 16gb only got 32s

Ahhh! Can't get out of work!

Looks like I'll just stick with my plan to try Saturday!

As of this time they are all out. I just drove an hour to be just behind last phone available

Yorkdale had some, but is sold out too, it seems (from Twitter).

I was just at Rideau... Think there might be a bunch of people in a second line waiting for next shipment. I asked about shipments... They had one last night again and another this morning. Hope this helps...sounds like more than once per day.

I got mine (32GB) from Rideau Apple store earlier (I ran as soon as BeerBaron rang the alarm, thank you!!). As I was getting it unlocked, they pulled me and a bunch of others out of the line to go straight to the counter and get it. Overall it took me 30 min. Now off to set it up! Woot!

Also saw a line at rideau about 30 min ago... Anyone planning on going after work? yesterday I walked by and heard them saying they were sold out (~5:20pm)

Yorkdale had some, but is sold out too, it seems (from Twitter).

hi fyrefly, can you share the Twitter address ? I'd like to be in the loop as well. thanks!

I literally go to Twitter and search for "Eaton Centre" or "Yorkdale". And there's lots of tweets (and even TwitPics) about it. :)

What also surprises me is that the Online Orders still show 3 weeks - so they can ship the stores 50-60 a day, but not ship any of the online orders?? Weird!

Anyone order on launch day from the website? Is your shipping date still 3 weeks away?

As of this time they are all out. I just drove an hour to be just behind last phone available

Really? I'm the last person with the tickets at the moment. You were behind me!

I'm still in line. Rogers system just went down so will be here for a while. Long line of hopefuls behind me hoping a new shipment comes in.

thank you !!!

wondering if you were to line up early would there be stock at Eaton Centre on Thursday or Friday ?

Most stores seem to get stock in every day around noonish. Apparently Yorkdale had 100+ people in line already before it opened today.

Thanks for all the updates.
It's decided:I will wait until my Rogers rep calls. Hopefully it will be soon (a week or two!) and the phone will be activated and ready to use when I arrive to pick it up.

Hi there. Been holding out on an iphone purchase for the past 3 years. Finally decided to get an iphone 4. I'm from the UAE btw. I missed the uk launch, so i decided to ring up a few contacts in Canada and see if they would forward me one. When the online store finally started showing the iphone as available, the checkout process wouldn't complete. It wasn't until 10:30ish Canadian timing that i was able to process an order. Shipping time before purchase was 3 weeks. decided to run with it. Scheduled shipping date is on the 20th of August, delivery by the 27th. I'm still hoping that they ship it earlier. Any idea whats happening? This ships to a friend of mine in waterloo. Its another wait for it to reach here... :(

thank you !!!

I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe I'll see you in line! What do you take in your coffee?? :P

I'm also probably going to be there early on Friday.
If I can't get anything on Thursday, that is.

As i said after beerbaron's alert i rushed down to Rideau store and ended up 1person to late. Long story short, waited 4hrs. Along with about 10 other people. For what ever reason (people who didn't qualify etc..) we all got 32gig phones.
No thanks to the guy who zoomed in 5 mins before i was to get in, and he bought 2 tickets for $100 each from the guy infront of me, and then as he went in he tried to convince the sales person to sell him 2 more by pointing at his wife and little baby saying it was for them, which happily the salesperson didn't let him do it. Anyway, they will be keeping track of these kinds of goings on from now on.

Thanks again to Beerbaron

Patrick

My wife is gonna go to yorkdale tomorrow morning before they open I hope she will surprise me with an Iphone 4 when I come home from work

Good luck to all!
I hope Rogers will get a few also.

So which store would be the best to try and get one on thursday? (in TO)

I'm going to go to one of the Apple Stores in Toronto. Which store would be the best location to go to?

I'm going to arrive about 1-2 hours before it opens. Will I have a good chance of getting one? I want a 32GB.

Any shipment today?
Comm'on Apple, send a few 32GBs to Rogers stores!

I pass by the rideau center to/from work. Everyday seems to be the same story, they get stock mid-day, and by the time I am done work (5ish) they are sold out.

I will post here if I actually make it there before they sell out someday.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks!
Is Nexus a Droid phone?

So I've been religiously refreshing this thread for the last few days.... trying to get an idea of when/where the best place is to go to get m'hands on the beautiful new IP4 32. I'm thinking that perhaps Monday would be a good idea; get down there bright and early and hope to the heavens that they're getting stock in that day.

Any ideas? :heybaby:

Yep, its the Google nexus 1. It is a fantastic phone, but I would be getting the iPhone on my girlfriend's line (same account).

Does anyone know if I would need her phone there to do the upgrade? It is all under my name with Rogers.
Thanks!

Sent from my Nexus One

P.S. Can anyone offer me any tips/info.... what should I expect when I'm there? ......Other than mad, crazed Iphone fanatics.... of course

Do I have a chance of getting my hands on one on Monday?

Also, I'm on Rogers - so will the upgrade process at Apple be as exruciating as the news has been making it seem? And will I be able to get the upgrade price, or will I have to buy the phone out? (Pls say no, pls say no, my bank account will hate me)...

I want to get there AT LEAST an hour before they open, but where the heck do I lineup if the mall only opens at 9:30?????

I'm sorry but I just find it pathetic that people are actually lining up at Apple Stores before they even open in anticaption of a shipment that may or may not come.

Maybe, but not as pathetic as getting kicks from trolling. :rolleyes: :D

For what its worth (perhaps nothing)

I walked by the Rideau Apple Store around 9:10 and there were about 10 people in line... the store was not yet open, so I have no idea if they are just hoping a shipment will come (likely), or if they have stock already (doubt it). I didn't stop to ask though.

From what I'm hearing elsewhere, Eaton Centre is saying their last shipment was Monday? I find that hard to believe considering I've been following this thread and the howardforums's in-stock thread and every day they've mentioned Apple being sold out and then getting more.

Maybe, but not as pathetic as getting kicks from trolling. :rolleyes: :D

:lmao:

I don't think it's pathetic that people line up even if they don't know, if they have the time and really want an iPhone 4, then who are we to judge?! It's a personal choice :)

I'm sorry but I just find it pathetic that people are actually lining up at Apple Stores before they even open in anticaption of a shipment that may or may not come.

What's actually pathetic is that you took the time to join a site where people love Apple products and bash folks for expressing interest (whatever degree that may be) in them.

I'm out here in Halifax where there is no Apple store. The nearest one is Montreal...yeah.
Anyway, I got myself on the waiting list at the Rogers outlet downtown but, of course, they have no idea when they'll be in - could be tomorrow, could be in 3 weeks. Awesome! Ha ha ha!
Anyone else on here from Halifax that was lucky enough to grab one?

I am 15th in line of 100+ at apple store eaton centre. No stock but hard to leave knowing that there might be a noon shipment like yesterday. Apple store is saying to us there has been no delivery since Tuesday mid aft. Odd. Many here talk about multiple daily deliveries!?
Anyways... The store clerks are nice as ever but offering little hope. Calling this the "hopes and dreams" line! :(
Let's see what noon brings. Any other stores have stock today? And deliveries arriving?

Lucky. I had plans to get there this morning but things happened and now I wont be there 'til 3. Tomorrow it is, I guess.

I just popped by the Rideau Apple Store this morning. There were about 20 people in line. They greeter told me he didn't know why they were lining up as they didn't have any in stock. I wonder when they receive their shipments? Daily? I might try again this afternoon.

It seems that this thread has received some attention from the IT Nerd:

Apple Canada Seems To Be Hording iPhone 4′s At The Expense Of Rogers, Bell And Telus Dealers…. WTF? The IT Nerd (http://itnerd.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/apple-canada-seems-to-be-hording-iphone-4s-at-the-expense-of-rogers-bell-and-telus-dealers-wtf/)

BTW, what is with this guy calling members of this board "fanbois"? Just because you own or want an Apple product doesn't make you some sort of "fanboi". No?

No iPhones today at Eaton Centre, line dissipated.

Apparently Yorkdale has received stock.

I was in line at the Rideau Apple Store this morning. 17 minutes after the Manager said he had none and wasn't expecting any shipments, magically, they had 16G version available.

I arrived at 9:10AM and had my iPhone by 10:30. At the time though it seemed like only 2 employees were processing iPhone sales.

So.... anyone think I have a shot at the Rideau Apple Store come Monday morning?

Anyone, Anyone at all? :confused:

I would say: Yes, that's your best shot in Ottawa.

Quick question. Any word about availability at Square One or Sherway?

I'm going to go to one of the Apple Stores in Toronto tomorrow. What store would be my best bet? I'm going to arrive 1-2 hours before the store opens. Is that a good time to show up?

Will I have a good chance of getting one? I want a 32GB.

Thanks.

no iphones at fairview today :(

If you show up before the store opens and you have all the time in the world, you're going to get a phone for sure.

Just thought I'd update you all on my Ottawa Apple Store experience. After calling multiple times per day to Apple, Best Buy and my local Fido stores, I decided to give it a shot and went to the Apple Store in Rideau Centre prior to opening.

I arrived at 8:45am (opening at 9:30am). At 9:15, they came out and said they have 5 left-over 32GB iphone 4's left over from yesterday (I think they said people didn't come back to pick them up). I was #5 in line, but unfortunately two people took 2 of them.

We were told they weren't expecting any more shipments today... yeah, yeah....

We waited. At 10am, they came out to say they got 20 16GB models in. I wanted the 32 GB so I declined (#2 in line), and wanted to wait.

At around 11:30am, they came out with 20 more 16 GB models (no 32's). I waited some more.

I gave up at 1:15pm, with nothing happening. Had to go to work.

Oh well... looks like I'm going to wait a few weeks. Can't go back anytime soon. Maybe I'll by a Droid!

Moral of the story - don't believe a damn word the Apple Store people say. They probably have no idea WTF is happening with shipments, but this is clearly a ploy by Apple to ride the hype of the IP4 release..

FunkyMan - thanks for your update. I'm also holding out for a 32 (unlocked so I can use it when I travel in the US). I plan to head in one morning next week - hoping the stock levels are better by then. Maybe I should wait until the week after next. Anyone remember when 3GS was released how long the crazy lasted?

Any word on Market mall in Calgary? looking to get an unlocked phone, but I don't have the time or inclination to stand in line, especially when I don't have to fight with a carrier.

I arrived at 8:45am (opening at 9:30am). At 9:15, they came out and said they have 5 left-over 32GB iphone 4's left over from yesterday (I think they said people didn't come back to pick them up). I was #5 in line, but unfortunately two people took 2 of them.

We were told they weren't expecting any more shipments today... yeah, yeah....

We waited. At 10am, they came out to say they got 20 16GB models in. I wanted the 32 GB so I declined (#2 in line), and wanted to wait.

At around 11:30am, they came out with 20 more 16 GB models (no 32's). I waited some more.

I gave up at 1:15pm, with nothing happening. Had to go to work.

Oh well... looks like I'm going to wait a few weeks. Can't go back anytime soon. Maybe I'll by a Droid!

Moral of the story - don't believe a damn word the Apple Store people say. They probably have no idea WTF is happening with shipments, but this is clearly a ploy by Apple to ride the hype of the IP4 release..

Based on what I have read in this thread over the week, I am getting the impression the iPhone model available changes each day. Tuesday/16GB, Wed/32GB, Thurs/16GB. If it holds true, then tomorrow should be 32GB day. Since I don't have that much free time until Saturday, I will be going for 16GB.

I will be leaving work in a bit.. I'll let people know what its like at the apple store.. I am guessing they are sold out again though.

No more line at Rideau. Guess we can hope for tomorrow.

Well I lined up at the Square one location today at 10am I was the 51st Iphone 4 in line (includes people who bought 2) and when I left they had about 40 people in line still so all in all I would say about 100 phones today. my friend who came with me was able to get a hardware upgrade from the apple guy in like 5 mins while we waited on stuff for me and he never technically lined up. All in all I love my new phone and anyone looking to get on line up anytime before opening and you should be fine.

I'm going to show up around 1-2 hours before opening, will I have a good chance of getting a 32GB one?

Still waiting for #%^# Rogers to get some!
I'm hoping tomorrow!

If I were to line up before the mall opens, where does the line usually begin, like which door do people line up at before opening?

It seems that this thread has received some attention from the IT Nerd:

Apple Canada Seems To Be Hording iPhone 4′s At The Expense Of Rogers, Bell And Telus Dealers…. WTF? The IT Nerd (http://itnerd.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/apple-canada-seems-to-be-hording-iphone-4s-at-the-expense-of-rogers-bell-and-telus-dealers-wtf/)

BTW, what is with this guy calling members of this board "fanbois"? Just because you own or want an Apple product doesn't make you some sort of "fanboi". No?

Nice!
Not sure about Fanboi part.

Quick question. Any word about availability at Square One or Sherway?Both OOS, I was told to check back in 2-3 weeks, gee you think they are sick of getting calls yet?

hehe funny article... I'm not even going to try to deny my fanboi status... it's a lost cause... I actually preferred the Apple store shopping experience to that at the phone booth when I got my 3G... is there something I'm missing about why so many people seem to prefer their local roger's dealers... that said... I wouldn't line up anywhere for more than 20-30 min just for a phone, I just got lucky and happened to be at the mall when they got a shipment... it helps to live less than a 10 min walk from the mall so I'm there fairly regularly...

I have a coop Rogers account and the only way to waive the cancelation & activation fees is to go with them directly. :(

umm what's a coop account? is it obvious that I don't deal with roger's much? :P

After having arrived at 10:00 am, how long did it actually take you to get out of the store? I would need to leave the mall by noon, if I got there around 8ish would I be done by noon do you think?

It's a business account. All government employees can get one.

Based on my experience today, no. More like 1-1:30pm. You'd pretty much get to the front of the line at noon.

I hope Rogers will get a few 32GBs tomorrow!

I am now a proud owner of iPhone 4 my wife went to yorkdale this morning she got there around 9 30 and she was 23rd in line shippment came around 11 o'clock she had a phone in her hand around 1 30. I hope this is gonna give some of you idea what to do and what to expect.

32GB or 16GB? I already have a 16GB, but I want a 32GB. Might be heading to the Eaton Centre tomorrow AM to see if I can get a 32GB... :)

Any news on arrivals today? I'm still hoping to get a call from Rogers saying they got a few 32s!
PLEASE apple, send some their way!

The 2 Rogers stores don't open until 9:30/10am here. I was told that they would be reciving "limited quantities" either today or Monday. Who knows though. I'm first on the list for a 32GB at one store, but I was told that as soon as they receive them they start calling down the list...the phones then go to whoever arrives first. Luckily I'm only a few minutes away from the store...:clap:

I was told "limited quantities" would arrive at Rogers either today or Monday...but seriously, who knows......

In terms of inventory, we expect limited inventory to arrive at some stores Friday/Saturday. Actual timing will vary by location.

Great. Thanks.
There's hope!

No stock at Fido Eaton Centre or Apple Store Eaton Centre...

I plan to swing back around noon to the Apple Store and see if they've got their daily delivery yet :)

Any news on Rideau store?
Went to my Rogers Corp store and they are not sure if they are going to get any before the end of the MONTH!
What a joke!

lol I know,

I wouldn't mind waiting in line after work, but they are always sold out by then.. Maybe we can bribe the UPS delivery guys to only deliver a shipment after 5 lol.

Hi All,

So the plan is still for me to arrive at the Apple Rideau store bright and early on Monday and wait it out for a 32gb. I spoke to Rogers today and they quoted me on the price it's going to cost me to upgrade (which is ridiculous.. but anyway).

Anyone have any idea what the upgrading process is like with Rogers at an Apple Store?

No tickets handed out but the line is moving forward. From one of the guys who was at the front of the line just said they got some 32 gb. Not sure of anything else. Line is at approximately 40 ppl now

Confirmed, not handing out tickets but seems like they've got enough for ppl in line. They pulled those buying unlocked phones from the line already. Get here quick for your chance at one!!

Won't be able to get out of work

32GB today, means 16GB tomorrow. I'll be getting to the Apple store early tomorrow, as I'm sure there will be a line.

There's ALWAYS a ##%¥ line!
Any 32s left?
I can only get out at 3.

What's the chance of there being some 32's on Monday???

Do the Apple stores receive shipments on the weekend...Im debating lining up on Saturday....its the only time I actually can. The Apple stores say nothing when I call, So Im hoping someone can help me out.

I would guess they get shipments on Saturdays. I don't imagine they would Sunday though.

I could be wrong though...hopefully not as I plan on going there tomorrow too.

Rideau

I'm keeping my fingers crossed as well about the shipment on Saturday.

are there still spots left at Rideau?

Thanks again!

I'll try to get there in an hour. Will there be 32s?

They cut off the line at Rideau while I was there and sent people home, so not everybody got one.

Still nothing at Eaton Centre. They keep coming out making sure noone's lining up for it either. So Weird!!

that is weird. are they just looking out for us or do you think they are saving stock for the weekend or something? (not that it would make any sense at all!)

At this point, I'm guessing there will be nothing till Monday. I might just try and forget about it and enjoy my weekend.

Anyone interested in meeting up tomorrow before they open? I have plans around 3pm though so I would hope to be early lol

This is assuming that they receive shipments on saturday... anyone know for sure? Otherwise there is no point..

I was at the Fairview Apple Store today. Was in line for about 2 hours. They come out saying they have none, then later an employee comes out saying they are getting "limited 16s" and no 32s. They were taking names so I guess they had enough. This was all before noon.

I just left because I don't want a 16GB only to wish I had gotten a 32GB.

Gahhhhh just give me a 32GB!!!

Thanks again to all for keeping us updated.
I'm not sure if they will get any on WE.
I hate missing another 32 batch.
Now that Rogers won't get any for a month, my only choice is Apple.
I may try to find an Unlock on line.
How much does an unlock 32 costs at apple? ( with tax)
Thanks

No iPhone for me :(
Nothing for me at Yorkdale last night. I was the first person in the line to not get anything. Picked the wrong mall today, I went to Eaton Centre. Took me until 9:30 to get to Fairview and I was five people away from the line cut off. I apparently have horrible luck.


I guess I'm waiting until I can get one in London. I can't afford to come to Toronto again just to buy an iPhone.

Gahhhhh just give me a 32GB!!!

Me too!

Sorry to hear that. Better luck next time. Any idea if there will be shipment this weekend?

Just to say that on tues i lined up at rideau apple store, was 5 past cut off, waited 4hrs., when they got to cut offs (me and 10 others) we were told they had phones for us as some people were not able or did not qualify. This was on a delivery of 60 phones. And i noticed that the next day they still han another 4. So waiting can sometimes pay off

Unlocked 32GB costs $880 tax inc.

I was just told at Apple Store Eaton Centre that they NEVER get deliveries on Saturdays or Sundays. Like... NEVER EVER. (can anyone confirm?)
So, either they have been hoarding stock all day, saying they are sold out, or they get a delivery tonight, OR they will not have ANY over the weekend.
Thoughts??

I highly doubt they would receive any weekend deliveries.

My local Rogers rep said he should have a shipment on Monday. They were taking names and holding units for people on a first come first serve basis.

I can confirm (friends high in ups/purolator) that they do not get deliveries on Saturday. He said he could give me a heads up on deliveries during the week maybe. If so ill let you guys know (ppl in ottawa only).

Now there is still a chance you could snag one tomorrow if ppl today didnt pick theirs up... but from previous posts here, they didn't give out tickets today so my bet is they are all gone.(Or they get a delivery tonight)

Ps: rideau was sold out again by the time I walked by at 5.

That sucks if true. Means I won't get an iPhone for a long time. Working in kanata during the week, it would be after 6 before I could get to rideau!

I'll go tomorrow just in case on the off chance they have a few.

I may go for shits and giggles too.. what time are you planning on going for?

I'm sure they love having line ups, so they may hoard some for the weekend... makes sense in my mind at least.

Calgary Telus beacon hill said "expecting shipments in September"

Rogers didn't say any date. They will get them when they are shipped.

Thank you.

anyone know if the square one apple store will have any iphone 4's in stock over the weekend? or am i stuck waiting until monday?

can anyone get updates on the montreal or laval area apple store or fido store iphone 4 stock / shipment.

You'll probably be waiting longer than that, I was told a couple of weeks.

A couple of weeks by Apple or Rogers?

Anyway, I'm going to go to the Apple Store on Monday (hopefully) bright and early. I hope it's worth going then.

Two times now I've had the chance to get a 16GB. Rogers Plus on launch day only had those left, and today at the Apple Store, which only got 16GBs. Ugh. I passed because I don't want a 16GB, 32GB all the way.

In Ottawa:
I was told by Rogers: end of the month.
Apple is getting stock daily during the week.

You'll probably be waiting longer than that, I was told a couple of weeks.

by who? apple or rogers?
nevermind - just saw post above

From Rogers Red Board:
UPDATE (August 6, 2010, 8:58 AM 2:45 PM) Rogers is receiving a new shipment of iPhone 4, which will be available in limited supply in some retail locations starting on Saturday, August 7. In the meantime, Apple retail stores may have inventory available for both new customers and existing Rogers customers upgrading to iPhone 4.

Looks like I'll have a busy day tomorrow!

let me know how that goes on your monday trek, i won't be able to get to an apple store on mon/tues/wed i can go this weekend but doubt they'll have any instock, looking for a 32gb, so i'll have to push my luck for thursday, and on that note, anyone know what the deliveries are like for thursdays? example, more 32gbs or more 16 gbs

Do we have a better chance at Rogers plus stores?

I happen to live near a Rogers Plus, so I may stop by there on my way to Rideau...just in case.

It seems most R+ stores open at 10 tomorrow. I'll also drop by a few.
Good luck to all of us!

I'll for sure let you know if I go. I hope I luck out.

Yay, there's a Rogers Plus right down the street from me. Really convenient because I live in Hamilton, and I really don't think my mom would want to drive me to Mississauga tomorrow morning. :P They had a sign on their door on launch day that said they weren't getting any iPhone 4s on launch. Hopefully they will this time.

Great news about rogers getting some stock tomorrow, thanks for letting us know!

I will try my luck as well.. not sure if I will go to rideau though... may just try a rogers plus store.

I'm hoping I don't have to go to Rideau. Should this Rogers update be false, and they have no stock, then by the time I get to rideau it will likely be too late.

Is Apple getting any iP4s today at all?
I agree that Rogers can't be trusted as they said they will get stock yesterday also and that never happened.

No idea. I figure if anyone has any stock it would likely be Apple store. I know deliveries don't happen today, but maybe they did ration their stock over the week. Doesn't make a lot of sense why they would do that as a sale is a sale, but stranger things have happened.

If anyone is down at Rideau, let us know what the situation is!

Should we line up at Rogers stores or just show up at 10?

I'm just going to show up at 10. I'd like to try the Rogers Wireless at Billings Bridge which opens at 9:30, but they are a low traffic mall. If it is very limited quantities, I think they would focus on higher traffic outlets. Maybe I will save the trip and call just in case

I'll try the Rogers Plus near my house and take my chance with them around 10 am ish. Wish me luck.

When do you think Rogers gets shipments todAy?

The RP store I'm at is saying no stock... Think I might hang around for a delivery. Am I wasting my time?

No Shipments in Halifax so far today although Wireless Wave does have one left for Virgin customers.

No line at billings bridge... also not open yet tho.. and the oos signs are still up... let us know how rideau is pls.

Fortunately, I'm currently unemployed so I have the luxury of actually being able to drop by every day! :)

Yes, Rogers. AML & Rogers Plus store in the metro area.

I don't think they get shipments on Saturday but I may drop by anyway. I've been going to the AML on Spring Garden.
Cripes, the wait is bloody maddening!!

Sounds like I might be wasting my time going to Rogers plus.

No iP4 here neither. (Ogilvie)

I just stopped by the Rogers Plus store in Stratford, ON. They got an email about some stores getting more stock but had nothing there yet. She figured the stores in the larger cities would get them first anyway.

Andrew.

None at college square. Said he heard a rumour ups would deliver some today, but hasn't seen anything yet.

Said they are expecting a delivery august 11. Off to rideau since I have nothing better to do today!

I went to Rogers Plus store and was the first in line, but alas, no iPhone4's today.:(

Talked to Rogers guy and he also haven't heard of any delivery. They had a demo one that I played with for a few minutes as they were 4 people in front of me for iP also!
Looks very good!

Has anyone been out to rideau? Will I be wasting my time going out there?

No go around here. Store staff seem quite confused on the announcement of shipments today as they never get anything on a Saturday.

Rogers REALLY needs to change this stupid policy of no phone/online orders. This is just getting ridiculous.

Don't waste your time with the Rogers Plus in Ancaster. They still have no iPhones.

Spoke to two Rogers Wireless outlets in Kanata a few minutes ago, and they seem to know nothing about a shipment.....

Still hoping Monday at Rideau will be promising :)

Sooooo confused right now. Rogers released a statement saying there's a shipment today, yet Rogers say they have not heard anything about it and Apple who has been pushing out devices every day this week is now saying it's going to be a full 5 business days before they're getting another shipment.......

I'm about ready to throw in the towel. I feel like I'm chasing a ghost.

I will just have to try and keep my 3G alive for another month or so, or whenever stock stabilizes

The only thing in stock in the whole eaton centre is a bunch of pissed off nerds! :P

Went to Rogers Gloucester, 11am, and nothing there neither. :(

Lol knowing my luck, by the time I get home people will start posing that stores are now in stock!

Anyone have any luck today or find out anything worthwhile?
