Finally Iphone 4 is in Canada today....

Hundreds of people lined up in Toronto, many overnight, to be the first in Canada to hold the new iPhone 4.

Despite complaints pouring in from the United States about Apple's latest gadget, many people outside the store Friday said they weren't concerned about the reports of minor signal problems with the phone.

Pepole waited overnight to get the iphone 4 first and according to Mr Chan - “It was worth the wait,” said an exhausted but happy Mr. Chan as he held the phone in his hand.  According to him “The improved screen, it's really crisp. It's beautiful, and the improved camera, HD video recording, and it can finally multi-task,”

The iPhone 4 differs from its previous incarnation, the iPhone 3GS, because it offers video calling and a high-resolution display, which the Apple website says produces a “sharper” image. It also has a 5-megapixels flash camera and HD video recording capabilities.

Despite complaints pouring in from the United States about Apple's latest gadget, many people outside the store Friday said they weren't concerned about reports that calls were being dropped when the phone was held a certain way.

For the first time, consumers were able to buy an unlocked iPhone, without a contract, which means they will be able to shop around with other carriers to find the best deal.

The 16 gigabyte model retails at $659 before taxes and the 32 gigabyte phone is $779.

Apple had promised to give away free rubber cases meant to improve reception. But customers in line were told they would not be receiving the cases, and could request them online.

1) There was no pre-order option in Canada.

2) Going to the US to buy one means buying it on Contract, breaking the contract and unlocking the phone.

3) We can buy unlocked iPhones in Canada.

4) The phones are cheaper here in Canada on contract than in the US.
