ZAGG invisibleSHIELD iPhone 4 Review + Picture Gallery

You should all know by now I love using the invisibleSHIELD on all my Apple toys. It's on my aluminum MacBook, iPad, and iPhone 2G/3G/3GS. Now, my iPhone 4 has joined the club. Earlier we posted about how the new full body iPhone 4 invisibleSHIELD includes side protection, which helps solve the "antennagate" issue. iPhone...

How Much Data Does a 3G FaceTime Call Use on Rogers?

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...

iPhone 4 Vibrates For No Reason?

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...

iPhone 4 Upload Speed Puts iPad to Shame

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...

How to Use FaceTime Over 3G on iPhone 4: My3G

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.

How to Change your SIM Card Number on Rogers for iPhone 4

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...

JailbreakMe.com All iOS Device Jailbreak Released for iPhone 4/3GS/3G

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...

iPhone 4 Launch Overview: Rogers Systems Fail Again!

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...

iPhone 4 Bumper Case Program Live in Canada

When Apple had their press conference to clear up "Antennagate", Steve Jobs announced a free Bumper case program. That program offered every iPhone 4 owner a free Bumper case or a refund if they already purchased one. Also, the option for a 3rd party case was included should Bumpers be out of stock. The iPhone...

iPhone 4 Antenna Not An Issue In Canada?

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an iPhone 4 of my very own today and so far I'm pretty impressed. Over the past month I've had the opportunity to test an iPhone 4 on the Fido network, which was purchased in UK. I was amazed that everyone was freaking about reception issues...
