I've been testing FaceTime on my iPhone 4 and I must say it's a pretty sweet feature. It's literally bringing back chatting with humans in real life, instead of texting, tweeting, emailing, etc (that is for those who like to spend time in a dark basement in the summer). With the return of the easiest...

I've been noticing over the past few days that my iPhone 4 seems to vibrate very softly, sporadically throughout day. At first I thought I was crazy. The vibration is barely noticeable and the first few times it happened I simply dismissed it thinking must be going crazy. Luckily I'm not. Anyone else noticing a...

I've been running some speed tests with the iPhone 4 in the greater Toronto area and I am extremely impressed with the speed increase. My iPhone 4 is consistently hitting an average of 4440 kpbs download speeds. What's even more incredible is that the upload speed has been averaging 2600 kbps. By comparison, my 2...

Now that the iPhone 4 is here in Canada, many of you are probably scrambling to find just the right case. With glass on the front and back of the iPhone 4, and the stainless steel antena susceptible to scratches, you might want some heavy duty protection. If you work indoors, in an office or retail...

Have you tried FaceTime yet on your iPhone 4? One of the coolest features of FaceTime is that it does not use your voice minutes, since the requirement is WiFi. You can also FaceTime your contacts by tapping the FaceTime icon in their contact profile. This saves you the initial call cost if you're going...

One of the major new features in the iPhone 4 was FaceTime. FaceTime, for those not in the know, is Apple's video calling service between iPhone 4 devices. On launch weekend, millions of Canadians picked up an iPhone 4 and when attempting to FaceTime, the call wouldn't connect. Jumping into the settings menu for FaceTime...

Did you purchase an unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple? If you did, then you're going to have to change your SIM card number on Rogers.com, as your SIM won't fit into the microSIM slot on the iPhone 4. You could cut your original SIM down to size, but it's easier to just change your SIM...

Whoa. This brings back some amazing memories. For those who used the original iPhone and remember using the jailbreak website JailbreakMe.com--it's back! I used JailbreakMe.com to jailbreak my iPhone on 1.1.1 in December of 2007 (holy that was a long time ago!). The site has been updated by @comex to jailbreak your iPhone 4/3GS/3G on...

The iPhone 4 launch was a huge success depending on how you acquired your iPhone. For those that purchased outright unlocked units from Apple Stores, your transaction was completed in a matter of minutes (including those that ordered online). I entered the Apple Store in Vancouver at 7:30am (after waiting in line all night) and...

To coincide with the iPhone 4 launch, and to match Rogers/Fido and Bell, Telus has also launched their own 6GB data plan. The Telus 6GB data plan is similar to the other carrier 6GB data offers in that it requires a 3-year agreement, however it is different by not being a standalone $30 feature like...

Phew! iPhone 4 is finally here in Canada. To those of you who braved the lines, the past Friday, and got your iPhone 4, congratulations! I happened to be one of the lucky ones. I was first in line, where I went to purchase mine. They only had 2 32GB models in stock there, and...
