It'll be like going from a Yugo to a Benz.

I received a "your phone has been shipped" e-mail today.

Anybody actually get their order yet?

They should have done that in front of the people lining up to buy one.

Nope. My wife's is being shipped and mine is still 257 in the cue. WTF did I get up and reserve them for? To pay 40$ for the privilege of getting your phone after the guy that walks in to the store. Rogers douches!

Is fucking emails the next generation of sexting?

:D

My 4s is coming today. Hopefully it's worth the upgrade from my crappy Telus 3G.

You have the 3G too eh. Mine is so slow and shitty now. Even the phone "app" crashes. I had to hit the button 3 times yesterday to check my messages. :lol:

To me, this is a valid real world test. Has anyone done a toilet drop test yet? :P

Dropped my gs2 from waist height onto textured concrete first day. Small scratch on the corner but screen didn't mark at all. Not signing up for the toilet test but should it happen I'll report back.

The big 3 are cracking down on deals. What was available a month ago via retention departments is now no longer so. Free long distance is going to cost you.

If you want a shared plan, send me a PM and I can point you at one that's pretty good.

Got a "you're number 1215 in the line" e-mail. :S

Time to check other options for cell phone service.

The iPhone does pretty good. It's lacking in resolution and low light capability, and the white balance gets worse with less light.

What's the frame rate on the iPhone? The banners have the out of horizontal sync effect you see on old CRTs.

You did hear they sold 4 million phones this weekend… so 1214 is pretty quick!
