Rogers/Fido Post Internal iPhone 4 Coming Soon Notice

By Ex on July 19th, 2010 133

The Apple press conference on Friday July 16, among addressing the iPhone 4 reception issue, also announced the July 30, 2010 release date for the iPhone 4 in Canada.

Bell was the first Canadian wireless carrier to get their iPhone 4 July 30 splash page up which indicated that Bell was going to be carrying the iPhone 4 (obviously).

Now, Rogers/Fido have posted internal notices that the iPhone 4 is coming soon. The notices indicate that more information will be released when available and in the meantime, to refer customers to the Fido or Rogers iPhone pages.

I particularly like the last line in each posting:

“Until you receive official information, please do not speculate with customers on launch dates or pricing.”

I guess it is not good enough for Rogers/Fido to tell customers the iPhone 4 is coming July 30, 2010, even when Apple CEO Steve Jobs says so.

    Question: for us Fido users who are going to be grabbing our iPhone 4's from the Apple Store, are we still able to use our Fido Dollars there? Or is that something that has to be done specifically through Fido locations? Thanks.

  • draz

    Nooo……! No more delays!

    But hey like past years, hopefully you can get the iPhone 4 the next day at your closest store =)

  • http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/ Ex

    Apple Stores have the same access as Fido. Fido dollars can be used.

    I'm going to Oakridge Mall at around 4 a.m. with 3 other peeps I met on twitter :) do you wanna join us?

  • Spkphotos

    The only reason I think Apple will allow pre-orders is because they did so with the iPad.
    We'll probably know for sure within the next couple of days.

  • Jm Boily

    Once again we'll get all the important details at 10PM on july 29th…

    It's like they don't even want to correct the mistakes they made for the last two launches.

  • Belimse

    I have a contract with Rogers and 2 years and 9months left. Which way is the best option for me to get an iPhone4 as cheaper price? Just unlocked one from Apple store or renew 3 year contract with full cancellation fee?
    Do I have to buy an extra micro simcard from rogers?

  • SF

    I think you can only order unlocked phones from Apple.ca

  • Laura

    no pre-orders in canada…know someone who works in the Apple store in Mississauga and they just had their launch meeting and there was no mention of pre-orders. there were no pre-orders for the 3g or 3gs or ipad…so dont expect it for this…although i wish they did, it would be nice since i have to work….i now have to get there super early and hope to not be in line for long to make it to work for 10am

  • s-j-t

    I was thinking of going to either Pacific Center on account of the Apple store being there or Metrotown on account of the larger amount of retailers in the area ex-Best Buy, Futureshop, etc. Not sure which one is my best bet quite yet. Oakridge is kinda far for me does it have many retail locations to choose from?

  • Kazakb

    on july 30th would it be possible to just order the phone online? from the apple site?

  • http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/ Ex

    Apple Store is guaranteed to have thousands in stock.

  • haxple

    In the meantine just send them to /dev/null

  • http://twitter.com/johncpiercy John Piercy

    I called a local Burlington Rogers dealer July 19 , he was told July 30th by Rogers and he is getting 60 units ..

  • AppleFly

    If you look at the source code on Rogers' iPhone 4 comming soon page there are lines of text talking about pre-order registration…

  • Diegese

    Apple store for sure… and it will be unlocked!!! :-)

  • http://tmvhswldhkrp.blog.me tmang

    Any news on iPhone 4 on Fido? I'm getting worried now that there will be no iPhone4s for Fido by July 30th.. mm :(

  • http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/ Ex

    Rogers and Fido will both launch iPhone 4, but if you want one on launch day for sure, go to Apple Store

  • frankthetank

    What would be a suggested time to go lineup at an apple store? I am off work at 11:30pm, would it be suggested to sleep over night?

  • http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/ Ex

    What is your closest store?

  • frankthetank

    Yorkdale shopping centre in Toronto and I am in Whitby. which is about a 30 min drive.

  • http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/ Ex

    If you don't care about being first in line and just want to be guaranteed a
    phone, show up around 4/5AM.

  • Rathbone

    whats your recommendation of the time to show up at the mall nearest me? Rogers inside the mall will not be opening early, due to mall policy of only opening at 10:00. If they mall will be opening at 10:00am, what time do you think I should arrive to be assured a phone from Rogers. I live in London Ontario, closest Apple store is in Toronto (2hrs away)

  • frankthetank

    Does anyone know if I show up at the Yorkdale mall in Toronto at midnight the night of and camp out over night will they let me in the mall to wait?

  • Rathbone

    most likely no, alot of malls wont let people in after closing or before opening due to potential of break-ins and what not. we will most likely have to wait outside the mall until the mall opens

  • bcp

    is oakridge going to be open that early?

  • RAAP

    What entrance is closest to the apple store in Oakridge? I'm thinking of going there too!

  • Jackasszilla

    I just want to know what the basis is on these so called claims…. Where do they rip you off left, right and center? If that is the case back up you post with some evidence of how they rip the consumer (you) off…

  • YOU AND ME

    question : im gonna go to fair view mall at 4.00 am so do they open all doors or only main entrance ??
    thanks

  • http://tmvhswldhkrp.blog.me tmang

    I can only think of the main entrance.. or the entrance from zellers I think.. I don't remember!! I'm going to the mall today to plan everything for the launch date.. hahaha

  • frankthetank

    Well there are several mall entrances, do we just line up at the closest entrance and make a run for it when the mall opens?

  • http://tmvhswldhkrp.blog.me tmang

    no but it's good to be in the line up early to get IN to the store fast haha

  • frankthetank

    Oh yeah forgot about fairview, much closer then yorkdale for me. I am also interested in camping out, knowing what door will be opening will hope tremendously. Any idea if the white iphones will be available too?

  • Robert

    Thousands?
    This will be my first time to get an iPhone. Do Apple Stores really carry that much stock?!

  • chzplz

    I was 100% sure I was going to buy mine outright from Apple, but… I'm a wee bit nervous about the antennagate issue. Regardless of how much of a real problem it is, it might impact the resaleability…

  • Sparky

    Btw Rogers released a Carrier Settings Update (7.2). :)

  • 6daniel

    i just hope they will have enough supplies at the fido mall kiosks, its the only one in my city.

  • Ralph

    ya i think we are going have to wait until the 29th in order to get the info from Rogers and Fido…just like last year

  • Jessica

    I'm also wondering if the white iphone will be available? I haven't decided which apple store im going to yet….it seems a bit odd to stand outside the MALL entrance and then make a mad rush for the Apple store when the mall opens? hmm…

  • bcp

    Which doors are you going to be waiting by?

  • http://tmvhswldhkrp.blog.me tmang

    Probably the main entrance or the Zellers or Sears (the closest department store to the Apple store) exit entrance.. haha

  • Jim

    Someone's gonna get fired for that!

  • Matt

    Ok well civilized people will honour the order of the line that was outside.

    I've worked in a mall before, the actual mall opened around 5am for the creepy elderly mall walkers, but the actual Apple store will not open until later. They might be able to open an hour early, but the mall has fairly strict guidelines when stores can open/close. They will probably get permitted to open earlier than 9-10…..or not, I don't know. Malls are strange.

  • JonnyDub

    Yup, but it would be unlocked. We won't be able to order iPhones locked into contracts from Apple.ca.

  • JonnyDub

    I have to say I'm thinking the same thing. I still really wanna get one but that antenna thing makes me a little concerned. I'm pondering not getting one until after Sept. 30 to see if they'll have a fix for it or just getting one at launch.

  • Krish

    my closest apple store is in pacific mall in vancouver so what time do you guys suggest for me to be there to be first in line or for sure to get a iphone 4.
    thanks

  • Steve

    What the earliest you guys are planning on lining up? I wonder if we will have any people lining up days before? lol

  • 6daniel

    I was going to go there but its 2 hour drive from maple ridge so i'm going to my closest fido store. Maybe at 5am because there are alot of people in downtown who want it.

  • 6daniel

    anyone in pitt meadows or maple ridge B.C planning on getting an iphone 4 on the 30th?

  • 6daniel

    i'm going to be at my closest fido store at least 45 mins before they open up, i dont think they are going to run out because the population of my city is only 80 thousand and theres like 2 other telus and bell stores. So i hope not alot of people will be getting them from fido.
