why does it say not eligibile for cancel or return?

Also I heard that all the iphones are all factory unlocked until they stick a sim in and then the phone is carrier locked? Cuz I called apple adn they said I can still buy the phone outright but I just have to choose which carrier to have it locked. Cant I just buy the phone and take the nano sim myself?

So from apple comes direct, is fido reservation pick up in store as well?

Yes, you get to choose which Fido store when you place a reservation through their site.

Noob iPhone unlocked question.

I'm with Rogers and considering buy a brand new iPhone 4 for pretty cheap but it's locked to Fido. Can I get Fido to unlock it? Even if they don't, it's still pretty easy to get that model unlocked right?

is there any charge for fido reservation?
rogers is $40

I think that's a deposit.. not a charge..

they take a deposit to reserve a phone for you..

so if your phone is $179.. it'd be $179 - $40.

why bother go through reservation? apple store will ONLY be doing contracted/activations on iphone in their retail stores...so i'm sure they'll have good availability

why bother making reservations for a nice high end restaurant? they have a lot of tables, im sure youll get a seat sooner or later.

your right, i read the fine print, its a charge that will be credited back once I get the phone.

just reserved, position is 6300

Take this with a grain of salt, as it could have been faked.

First Geekbench iPhone 5

This puts the iPhone 5 at slightly more than twice as fast as the iPad 2/3 and about 2.5 times as fast as the 4S. If they're right about it being 2 cores at 1GHz, then they've obviously made some signifcant upgrades to the processor architecture to double performance with the same clock speed (as iPad 2/3).

u heard wrong.

i bought my factory unlock iphone 4 direct from apple store with cash 2 yr ago and the first thing i did is stuck a fido sim card into it. It didn't become lock i know this for sure becuase i have stuck rogers bell and various other sim card from oversea into it and it works fine.

anandtech tells everyone the cpu is not A15

Actually this year, all phones including the ones sold at the apple store will be LOCKED. The only way to get a fully factory unlocked one is ordering online.

is this the $50 upgrade credit that rogers is offering me??

If your device doesn’t ship within 14 days from launch or your reservation, whichever is later, we’ll apply a $50 credit* to your account as our thanks for your patience. The $50 credit will appear on one of your next two invoices following the activation of your reserved device on your account.

The rep I chatted with today said that this $50 is an additonal credit. He also stated its 14 business days not 14 days.

Time to jack up the price of the factory unlocked iphone 5's when selling :troll:

But I read some of those people who pre-ordered and got the "2 week wait" time has changed to 21st. Which makes the value of us early buyers lower

Anyone selling their carrier locked iphone 5's? How much are you guys selling them for?

I seen ppl selling them for $700-$1000 on Craigslist

I think i'm just going to go with the flow and do 1000 for 16gb ,not the carrier locked ones

a lot of ppl doing 16gb unlocked for 900.

Shit really? I've only skimmed through the first page of craigslist.

i have a rogers locked 64GB coming in. maybe i should sell mine for $1400 and just wait to buy a 32GB unlocked in a month or 2

I'm planning to wait until the hype is over which is probably going to be 3 months later and then buy it. Idk thats my plan. Probably more reviews will come out and specs will be more detailed then

I lol'd even if the CPU aint real hahahaha

I wonder how many iPhone 5 sellers on Craigslist are going to end up getting pepper-sprayed and robbed when they meet the "buyer"? Or how many buyers are going to get robbed of their $1,000 cash when they meet the "seller"?
