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.

The iPhone...

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...

Earlier today Rogers/Fido announced their upgrade pricing for the iPhone 4. It looks like the 'Big 3' carriers are waiting until the last minute to release their pricing for customers. Bell has just updated their website with iPhone 4 details and they are the same as plans leaked earlier. There's nothing new here compared to...
