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.

Yes, I believe so. Unlocked and locked ones should be available on launch. It would be stupid if they weren't.
Apple.ca = only unlocked iPhones
Apple Store = Locked or Unlocked
Rogers/Bell/Telus = Locked
I have never purchased an iPhone directly from the Apple store before. Can someone tell me the process of this? I am on Fido, and they do have an advantage with Fido Dollars, which I hope to use towards the iPhone 4 in order to get a discount. Can I do this at the Apple store as well? Or only at the Fido store?
Step 1. Walk in.
Step 2. Ask for iPhone.
Step 3. Pay.
Step 4. Leave.
I don't think Apple takes anything other than Canadian Dollars
They don't accept foreign currency.
Credit, debit, and Canadian cash is fine.
LOL yeah make a mad dash, dont get trampled, good luck
i wonder what time the mall doors will ACTUALLY open and if the apple store will open earlier that day… hmmm..
It will open earlier.
I believe your able to use your fido dollars at an Apple store.
That is correct.
Any news on a 6gb plan?
I spoke to a guy @ a local Rogers here in Winnipeg on monday and he specifically said there will be no Pre-orders. Was there a pre-order scenario for the 3GS?

Will this whole antenna issue for the Iphone 4 be fixed before they release their product in Canada?
Does that mean I can renew my Fido plan at the apple store also?
Correct.

So that you're not “JUST A REALLY GETTING STUPID…” and rather than looking so foolish yourself. Check your spelling and grammer before you post something. It's worth the extra few moments.
Best regards,

Yeah, I'll totally join you guys!
Did you figure out the best entrance to be at?
Thanks Ex, appreciate it!
I am a Rogers customers for so many years and I dont get shit from them. I am praying that Rogers dont get iphone 4 so Bell and Telus beat Rogers ass.
white ones not coming out on launch day its going to release in a few months. I would stick with the black one
Whites not coming out until Christmas time.
Hey just to let you two know. People have reported that their iPhone 4's (out of the new batch) no longer have this issue because they tried to recreate it and the bars would not go down.

I just talked to a guy at the Londonderry Telus store here in Edmonton and he said that due to limited supplies stores are only going to have 15 handsets opening day. Is anyone else hearing anything like this? That sounds ridiculous to me.
Any suggestions about where the best place is to get an iphone4 on launch day in London, Ontario? No apple store here. I phoned Bell and they said there are no guarantees that they will have the phone on July 30.
