Called around some Mississagua and Toronto iPhone-approved Rogers dealers today, none of whom (that answered) had any stock on 16GB iPhones (seems there’s a few 8GB units around.)
Most were expecting to take delivery of more on Monday, and anticipating line-ups like they had on Friday morning.
Stuck my nose in a few other locations… no stock at all.
So just a few minutes ago, I decided I’d call Rogers and ask about how my existing contract and voice-plan affect things…
