    oh wow, another sign up form. Of course its going to be available on the 30th, we know that already.

    We want to know what the details of the Canadian Launch will be (IE how much we will have to bend over for a crappy plan with 23 megs of data)

    Seriously? Bell announced they were getting it July 30th soon after Jobs announced it.

    The good money is on Rogers releasing it the same day as well. Not sure why it’s news that a carrier is reiterating what Stevie already announced.

    I think I’ll stick with my 3G

    Just get the free bumper.

    Everybody would get the bumpers anyway, they are only complaining now because gizmodo spun an isolated issue into a big deal.

  • john

    no one cares/likes canada

    • Ernie

      Typical American asshole. Why the hate? Did Canadians do anything to you. Geeze.

      • Chut Pata

        Yes, Canadian fought two wars with us, and we lost both. Every year they celebrate the day they kicked our ass by a flag ceremony in Hamilton, Ontario, where they sank our fleet.

      • Ernie

        What? Are you fucking kidding me? No wonder everyone hates us Americans because they think we all are like you. Because morons like you talk out of your ass and everybody listens when an asshole farts.

        You embarrass me and every other American with common sense which I am happy to say it’s a vast majority!

      • Ernie

        Oh and worse. You blame them for our fuck ups too.

      • Jay

        Don’t forget, we also participated in the 1814 burning of Washington with the Brits :P

      • SquareWheel

        It’s amazing how few American’s know of this.

      • john

        typical canadian asshole! getting upset over a comment on a tech blog lol

    • E__P

      I’m pretty sure no one likes you now. Stay tuned!

    • Joe

      You’re the type of person who gives Americans a bad rep.

      • john

        haha this is the response i was looking for…everyone cry because one person doesn’t like canada…still no one cares about canada

      • Eric Schmidt

        Hey asshole, they do care about canada. You might not care, but I am sure that you don’t care about your mom or dad or anyone. So nothing lost with you.

    • American

      Hey John! Too bad to go with such a comment man! Be it Canada, Briton, China… we are all one dude!

      You have made it worse.

      • john

        you obviously are not american then

      • Beamer

        I am John and you are a complete asshole

      • bill

        awww :( saying bad words to try and make me sound inferior ;( hahahahaha

  • joe

    I love my friends to the North, but it would be nice it Apple could ensure ample supply to the retailers that are supposed to carry the product in places where the iPhone 4 has been released. Especially for those of us that want to take advantage of the trade in credit and accessory credit offered by Radio Shack (expires 8/25). my local shop (Chicago area) has received approx 8 units since release. makes it hard to take advantage of great promotions if you cannot get the product. Good luck Canada!

    Just have to say
    Yes Steve Jobs said canada would be getting it on July 30th
    HOWEVER, if you check the Apple.CA website
    nothing has changed.
    i dont wanna jump the gun and say it will be coming out, but from past annoucments made by apple, the canadian website would have changed that very day.

    on a side note, apple will be sending the exact same amount of iphones to canada as they have perviously.
    which would mean VERY LOW inventory on release day to each store

  • User

    Isn’t that the thing Apple was supposed to recall last week?

  • J.P Michaels

    Does it come with the same antenna problems and a case? Does it have instructions on how to hold itwhile making a call?

    • Invid

      Probably comes with the case, but probably without the problems.

      Our carriers overcharge us too, but unlike yours, they actually invest some into their networks.

  • Air Ruler

    Will be interesting to see what issues, if any, Telus users have with the reception issues…when you remove AT&T from the mix, how much of it really winds up being hardware vs. network related…

  • Subzerohf

    I’ll wait untile they have another iOS update, 4.02 or something.

    • Hewie

      I beg to second that…

  • Blah

    In canada, since it’s offered on multiple carriers … can one get unlocked version of iPhone?

  • d9

    ^blah

    if you buy your iphone from the apple store in canada,( outright)
    it comes unlocked

    • Blah

      thanks.

  • Chut Pata

    O Canada! I sympathize for thee! But wait, you still have time to practice holding the iPhour the way Steve Jobs tells you to. Adapt!

    • Ernie

      You have to adjust your brain because it obviously ain’t working properly.

    Bell is going to get the Iphone4 on July 30th as well and its funny they have the same advertising as Telus. I guess Apple has a lot to do with that. http://www.bell.ca/home/
