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?

Posted via RS Mobile | 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?

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.

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).

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.

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.

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 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"?
