This week, select Rogers and Fido store locations have started to receive microSIM cards for the iPhone 4. While many Rogers locations already have microSIM cards for the iPad, those SIM cards are "preactivated" and cannot be used with the iPhone 4. Pricing The Rogers/Fido stores that have received the microSIM cards are selling them...
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...
We previously covered that the 'Big 3' in Canada confirmed they would be carrying the iPhone 4 in July. However, none of them have confirmed on their websites about today's July 30th Canadian launch date--until now.

Update 1: Similar Fido image added as well. The iPhone 4 launched yesterday in the USA, France, Germany, the UK, and Japan. Reception issues have dominated Internet headlines and even Apple's response has been questionable. What about the iPhone 4 in Canada? When can we expect to see the iPhone? We know that Rogers, Telus,...
We just received an anonymous email from a tipster that noted Bell will be launching the 8GB iPhone 3GS on June 25th. We've also received word that Rogers and Telus will also be launching on the same date too--not surprising at all. Apple will be selling these units one day before on June 24th. We...
One of the smaller, not widely known features of iOS 4, is the ability for carriers to push out updates, over the air. Previously, this could only be done, via iTunes. This isn't Apple firmware updates, but rather carrier specific updates. The iOS 4 betas have been coming with Rogers carrier updates. Rogers 6 was...
