Re:A White iPhone 4 Is Confronted Regarding Its Inability to... by pmjordan on Thursday October 28, 2010 @04:10AM (#1842150)
Wow, on my last visit to the UK I just walked into an Apple store and bought an unlocked one there and then for a friend. They had stacks of them in stock. (they were selling one every 2 minutes or so though) The website says 1 week:

Actually, the Canadian website says 2 weeks:

http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iph...

So whoever you're trying to buy one from - they're messing you around.

That's the waiting time for an unlocked phone though. You can't order subsidized phones direct from Apple in Canada. You have to visit an Apple Retail Store or a store that carries phones from your carrier of choice.

If you're in a contract with a carrier, I'd suggest phoning them up and asking to speak with their retentions department. Talk to them about how you're thinking about leaving if you can't get an iPhone 4 soon. Most of the big carriers -- Rogers, Telus, Bell, and even Fido -- have taken orders through their retentions department. It really seems to depend on the day though, whether or not they can sell any. But it's worth a shot!
