Adventures in iPhone: Update
Jun 30th
I just thought I should drop a quick line about my iPhone. I had planned to get my iPhone yesterday evening: about 4:45p, and had arrived only to find out there were no iPhones available there! Not a big issue, the sales rep allowed me to leave my name and number for when a White 32GB iPhone, and she had noted that tomorrow (today, as I’m writing this) is their restocking day and an iPhone may be on it. This morning I anxiously awaited a call from them and to my surprise around 10:00a I got a call saying that my phone was in! They had my Nokia [something something] ready for me, Mr. Yang… d’oh! After a second of surprise I said that I wasn’t Mr. Yang; to my further disappointment today’s shipment only included 8GB (previous generation) 3Gs. She then told me that a ‘White 32 GB iPhone’ has been ordered in and will probably be in by next Tuesday (their next stock shipment date).

This is aggravating; I am looking at signing away the next three years of my life to Rogers and >$2600. Because of the fact that I have to buy something from them that I could buy from two other companies, I should get a Palm Pre (Bell) or another phone from Telus, both of which have great EVDO coverage in my area, while Rogers only has EDGE. However, I constantly drink the Apple Kool-Aid and therefore will wait and will pay outrageously for possibly the slowest phone in my neck of the woods.

I also heard a rumor today that AML, the local Rogers authorized reseller for the Atlantic Canadian region is getting a supply of iPhones to their local branches ‘Thursday or Friday’. However I’m not convinced of my source’s credibility, though. **I do not endorse or except responsibility for this rumor.**
