I have it up for $900, doubt I'll find a buyer at that price but who knows because there's a lot of people on the wait list so you might have some desperadoes willing to pay a premium to have the phone on the launch date.

If they sell out and people have to wait 2 weeks for the next batch you will easily get that much

Just checked Apple.ca and the wait is up to 3-4 weeks, yikes.

indeed. im planning to refresh my ad on thursday :troll:

FYI IOS6 releases today at about 10am.

Remember how "amazing" the 4S camera was supposed to be? ;)

^ the 4S is quite good at low light when compared to other phones or previous iPhones. It's just that the 5 got an extra 2 stop from the A6 processor

I got a question about Siri. I know siri wasn't able to use location based information in canada....why is that? When I found that out it was a huge bummer....is this going to change?

I'm most worried about the delivery guy. I have an iPhone stolen from the package before. The box was ripped open and all I got was an empty box with the packing slip. My excuse for not noticing it right away was that I didn have my glasses on and was groggy from getting out of bed. But what was the delivery man's excuse??

A few pages back, someone had mentioned that unlocked phones would not be sold at the Apples Retail Stores. The Apple website's statements are a bit ambiguous as well saying that unlocked iPhones can be purchased online and new contracts can be purchased at the retail stores. However, saying what can be bought (either online or at the stores) is not the same as explicitly saying that unlocked phones cannot be bought at the retail outlet.

Anyways, I've called the Pacific Centre and Richmond Centre stores and employees there have explicitly stated that Apple has gone the way of the US and are only selling locked phones at the retail stores. The employees did state that you can still buy a phone at full price then have your wireless provide unlock it for you. I smell a cash-grab agreement between Apple and the wireless providers.

Obviously, phones purchased from the online store are factory unlocked.

I just wanted to provide this info to you guys in case anyone was curious. What do you guys think this news will do to the line-ups on release date?

I dont honestly dont think it will change it anything people wont give a shit they will buy the iPhone locked or unlocked regardless

how much better is the 5's camera exactly? Relative to 4s?
