when did you get your last upgrade?
Also call Rogers before going to the store to find out. When I went to the store they said I wasnt eligible - but then I called and he said I was and if I had any problems in the stores to have them call. |
I haven't upgrade my iPhone 3G since I got it awhile ago, and I've never upgraded a phone from Rogers, as this is the first phone I had with them.
I did have to renew my contract last year though because I changed my plan around. It's only been a year on this plan as of June 19th, so I guess I'm past that 24 month thing. |

| quote: | Lance Fetters has released an update to Backgrounder which adds an Auto Detect background method for iOS 4
Backgrounder allows for total control of backgrounding on an iPhone/iOS-based device. With Backgrounder, *you* decide when an app should keep running, and when it should quit. Backgrounder provides true backgrounding; minimized apps can be made to continue to run as if they were still the foreground app.
Changelog svn.r513:
● NEW: Added background method "Auto Detect" (iOS 4.0+ only).
● FIX: Status bar icons now work with iOS 4.0+.
o Requires phoenix3200's libstatusbar extension.
● MOD: Removed use of preferences symbolic link, as it is not needed.
o The symlink ~/.backgrounderrc is no longer used, and can be manually deleted, if desired.
o Some apps still have issues due to Apple's sandbox; this will need to be fixed in a later release.
● MOD: Changed maximum supported firmware version to 4.0.1.
o Note that Backgrounder purposely blocks untested firmware versions; this is to prevent the possibility of crashes with newer firmware.
o Jailbreak users should *never* upgrade to new iOS firmware versions until they are certain that the firmware is jailbreakable and that the extensions they wish to use have been properly updated.
You can download Backgrounder from the BigBoss Cydia repository.

iPhone is 3% of handset unit volume, 2x profit of RIM, Nokia, Sony combined. iPad next?
While iPhone accounts for only 3% of handset market share by unit volume, Finacial Times reveals some Goldman’s numbers that show it’s set to capture a stunning 2X the profit share of Nokia, RIM, and Sony — combined.
And Goldman only showed those numbers by way of saying how enthusiastic they are about iPad doing the same thing to the PC industry. That sounds crazy, but iPad almost equalled Mac sales numbers this quarter and while its margins are less than the Mac’s, they’re higher than the razor-thin netbook and bargain basement PC industry where much of the volume rests.
TiPb’s been saying for a while Apple only cared about market share as much as it meant increased profit share. Looks like that’s working out for them. |

| After removing this daemons, the unit is running even better and smoother. Even boot up feels better, since this files were useless to us. |

Honestly, I suggest you to try this later
1)Fresh JB
2)enable wallpaper and no multitasking (since most APIs are not ready yet)
3)removal of those shadows and gradients
4)removal of those daemons
5)removal of language packs
*What I learned, once you enable multitasking and re-jailbreak it ... it really mess's up the unit. It still thinks multiasking is there and the save states are all in chaos*
Its gonna feel like it's 3.0 again :p |

(2) iPhone is unlocked, not carrier locked
(3) has microSIMs in stock for Telus, Rogers & Bell - this differs to that of iPad SIMs.

(5) Retail Pricing of iPhone 4 is $699.99/$799.99 16/32 + HST
(6) CAN buy without being signed for the contract.
(7) Telus has confirmed new Price Plans for iPhone4 ; New Data Packages available, details not released,
(8) Rogers + Bell Plans are not available yet on internal BestBuy website.

(11) Approx. 450 Units are available in 16 & 32.
(12) Even though Telus is releasing this to the bestbuy mobile representative, devices are confirmed unlocked & can be bought to use with Rogers.
(13) Be warned: This is the same shipment package as the AT&T ones, with the "death touch" Antenna situation & he did confirm Replacement Free Cases / Bumpers - as announced by Apple . " <--- LMAO

Best Buy Canada Starts selling IP4 cases
White iPhone delayed until later this year
Folks hoping to snag a white iPhone anytime soon will be disappointed by Apple’s latest press release. The Cupertino company confirmed yet again that the white iPhone 4 has been “more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected.” Here is the full statement:
White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected. |
