Rogers iPhone 4 Update: Oops, We Were Wrong

Remember when Rogers last posted about their iPhone 4 updates? On their Redboard, they told customers that stock would be arriving on Saturday, August 7th. Due to this information, many of you lined up outside Rogers stores hoping to get an iPhone 4.

However, the exact opposite occurred. There was no stock. You wasted your time. Rogers CSRs had no idea what the Redboard was. Another SNAFU. Well, according to the Redboard another update has been posted:

UPDATE (August 9, 2010, 1:05 PM) Hi everyone. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused this past weekend as many of you expected iPhone 4 to be back in stock at our stores. In an effort to get devices available as soon as possible, we are expediting all shipments to stores outside our normal process. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication on Friday and stock was not available as expected on Saturday.

We are trying to be as transparent as possible and provide you with timely information. Obviously, this isn’t a perfect process and we appreciate your patience. Stock that was en route Friday will be arriving in some stores today. Additional inventory will be arriving throughout the week. Due to high demand and limited quantities, we strongly recommend that you call ahead to ensure that iPhones are in stock.

What’s your play now? Buy an unlocked phone or continue the waiting game?

Thanks @niker23 for the tweet!
