With bell, ive hit 4523 kilobits/sec. What kind of numbers does Rogers pull ?

Telus and bell run on the same infrastructure, I think. These are the numbers I got in sarnia (1hr west of London)

um... guys
friend of mine found this place in toronto, selling brand new i phone 4 32 gb factory unlocked for $400 tax included.
the store has lots in stock too..they guarantee its 100% real apple iphone, not those china replica ones, can even test it on the spot. think its legit? should i get one for such a low price? few other buddies think its hot, what can happen if you buy hot items?

No way seriously? That sucks.... I love the case!!! I like the rubber bumper, feels more protected. And I like the carbon fiber look too :P I spent over $40 on a case at Telus and that one felt super cheap... probably the same one lol

Nice... which screen protector did you get? The only one i really liked was the one by Power Support but I can't find it anywhere :( It's like retina display compatible or something... I've been through 2 brands of protectors so far and they've been crap!

Ashley, I got this one: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/invisibleshield-invisibleshield-iphone-4-front-shield-bbcapliphone4gss-bbcapliphone4gss/10148520.aspx?path=5d0176d9b5ab48468e3a68f06a58431 4en02

its actually really good. Its keeps that glassy look so you still get the brightness and clarity of the retina display. $20 bucks may seem expensive but I found it worth it.

I got that carbon fiber one too (only took 2 weeks, even though they said a month). A would highly recommend the ZAGG Invisible Screen Protector. My brother uses it on his 3G for a few years and it has lifetime warranty. Easy to put on, even for an idiot like me lol. It was $20 as well, but worth it.

Resistant and flying through the air into a hard metal pointed object proof are too different things lol.... I carry my phone around in my pocket and occasionally accidentally put my keys in the same pocket, that is scratch resistant. Giving my two year old daughter the phone and a metal fork would not go well

Some apps don't really "multitask" but more go into a standby state where it remembers the last state it was in. Some, if you give it access (like clocks/alarms/etc) hook into the push/alert realm where it does minimal in the background. The "bar" you are clearing are only the last 4 used programs. Just because they are in there doesn't mean they are currently running. Some might be depending on the application but others might not.

ohh gotcha. cuz my uncle's phone died after like 16 hours and mine after about 40, we use it about the same but he didn't clear all those background apps and I did, so I assumed that's what ate his battery life.

All depends on the apps really and what you allow the apps to do. An example would be Meebo. If I ran that, it would obviously leave some stuff in the background. However something like a basic game wouldn't as there's nothing for it to do in which case, at best, it goes into a saved state until you open it again. Also, some programs use more batteries than others in the first place which would help drain it faster.

From Apple's site:



We now know that the iPhone 4 antenna attenuation issue is even smaller than we originally thought. A small percentage of iPhone 4 users need a case, and we want to continue providing them a Bumper case for free. For everyone else, we are discontinuing the free case program on all iPhone 4s sold after September 30, 2010. We are also returning to our normal returns policy for all iPhone 4s sold after September 30. Users experiencing antenna issues should call AppleCare to request a free Bumper case.

my understanding is that if you are on a corporate plan there is not much, if anything they can do (even customer relations).

but in reference to your comment about not knowing if it was customer care or customer relations.. it's a big diff cause the former is useless and the latter is not. haha..

most likely not retentions, i got the iphone off retentions 2 weeks ago, im not eligible for an upgrade for at least another year and a half.
They did all this on my $17 EPP plan, and also gave me 6gb data, 2500 text, 100LD, CID, VM

All in all im paying $50 after taxes. :)

I also did my sisters account, and the rep ordered it for me with no data plan! he also waived the activation fee. I got lucky with that one.

Liking it quite a bit so far. Interface is obviously quite a bit different (going from trackball and full qwerty keyboard to a touchscreen) but being able to touch your app directly as opposed to scrolling to it is definitely a huge boon. I can see how intuitive it is already. Games/media/browsing are definitely better catered for the iPhone.


Which BlackBerry are you coming from? As for getting used to it, the keyboard might be your biggest "getting used" to thing...everything else is so simple and common sense on the iPhone that you just figure it out with out fiddling around.

Coming from a Blackberry 9000 (Bold). Getting used to the touch keyboard, even in portrait mode. Had some good practise transferring over all my notes from the BB to the iPhone.

My 3G home button is all worn out. Especially with the multitask, it wears out the home button pretty fast. I've got Activator setup so that I don't have to press the home button. I have double tap the clock open multitasker and slide down to close apps.

Have you all done the latest updates on it?

I understand version 4.2 is due out this month.

Mine has been working great. Got it on launch day and I have not experienced any issues.
The only thing I have noticed is that when I photograph (using the rear camera) something white, I get a slight yellowing of it close ot the edges.

I tested a few regular point and shoot cameras and I did find that they all have some colour variation whether it is yellowish, redish or bluish.

Other than that, it has been great.

Actually, trying point your camera at a white object (a wall) you'll notice a green'ish blemish in the middle of the photo.

iOS 4.1 is great, and I am sure 4.2 will be even better. I love the HDR photography feature.

both me and my roomate use the iphone as an alarm and he woke me up this morning at 7 (alarm usually goes off at 6 15 and 6 30) and told me all this. i thought that maybe i turned them off and was so sleepy that i didnt remember but nope. on the way to work they bot went off at 7 15 and 7 30.

also just asked a guy at work that has a 3gs with the OS4 and his did the same thing.

this was posted before for the australian time change but i guess noone caught it haha.

really? i find it rather useless. the raw shots i take look better than the hdr ones.

The HDR Photography feature is really useful for low-light conditions where the light is ineffective.

Also useful when taking an indoor photo when there's a blinding light source out a window...helps to even out the light.

The alarm clock thing happened to me as well. Alarm usually set for 6:20...but the alarm went off at 7:20. I wonder how many people were late because of this lol

it's sad to say, but the iPhone's camera can nail the exposure better than some point and shoot cameras. LOL.

Hmmm... actually the iPhone 4's camera is the biggest disappointment for me. I expected better in terms of quality.

It doesn't even come close to my old clunker Sony Ericsson k850i 5mp cellphone camera. But I guess I'm expecting too much seeing as the k850i is off of Sony's Cybershot line of cameras.

It's too bad I can't switch sim cards between these two phones for when I really need a good camera. Damn microsim.

Same here. The video quality is pretty ridiculous for a cell phone I find. It's takes better video then my cybershot P&S camera.

Apparently the new software update 4.2 is due out on the 12th of November.

It is supposed to speed up the 3G's and add airplay features to the 4.

Looking forward to it.

If i get the Sim adapter, can i put it in my blackberry and have my blackberry work?

yes it will work, at least the one I got from ebay works with my torch, there is some cutting involved.

All the phone reads is the gold part.

Also pumped for AirPlay, next years home theatre receivers will be Wi-Fi ready and Airplay ready, and with all of the new ipod docks coming out will have Airplay as well so you'll be able to get music all over your house wirelessly.

Though this can also be acheived now with an Airport Express.

In iTunes, when you click on your iPhone at the left. Under the Ringtones tab, make sure "sync ringtones" is selected.

This should solve your issue here.

Go to an Apple store early in the morning before they open, you are guaranteed one.

I waited in line among 500 people at Square One on the launch date, I was 20th in line. It was well worth it, considering people still have to wait to get one almost 4 months later.

Actually no.. I was in the mall at 8 am to get my lottery tickets and when I walked by the Rogers kiosk their was a few people waiting for the phone so since their was only a few I put my name on the list and waited till they opened to get the phone lol... 3 hours later I had it lol

At this time of the year with Christmas is approaching, Rogers would rather ship all their units to retail stores in order to cash in on all the gifting of iPhones. Its gonna be hard to have one shipped.
