Looks like Rogers needs to get a few more subscribers on its network, but if you help them out (*cringe*), you can score up to $500. Starting today (and expiring on September 3, 2010), any existing Rogers customers who have My5 plans or any new Rogers customers that were referred to Rogers by an existing...

When the iPhone 4 launched in Canada, Apple had only released the iPhone 4 in black. Originally, the iPhone 4 was supposed to be available in white and black, but manufacturing problems have caused massive delays in the release of the white unit. This week, an update on the white iPhone 4 delays comes from...

One of the earlier keyboard hacks that was released for the iPhone was the ability to use Emoji, or 'emoticons', when typing. Emoji allowed iPhone owners to send each other little smiley faces and other unique characters in emails, SMS, notes, and more. The stock iOS 4.0/4.0.1 firmware once again continues to disable Emoji. So,...

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...
