No , what a load of crap. I follow Fido on twitter and even the inf I got online said that if you have one year left of the current contract you can get the phone at new contract price and the new contract will start that day.
I plan on calling retention again tonight to see if they can do anything. I dont care how high up I have to go something will get done.

Some loser I hate @ my work lined up, Eaton Centre @ 9am.
Claims there's 50ppl in line & he won't be waiting long. It's now 5:15pm, lmao ing loser.
Do the math, launch date was 450 ppl and 17 apple rep activating. Normal day, maybe 3 ... he's almost 2 hours late for work.
Homeboy was such big Nokia follower, yet he knew nothing about phones @ all.

If you're 14 months and under left on your Fido contract you're allowed to get the upgrade price on the iphone.

Apple Pulls Camera+ From The App Store After Its Developers Reveal A Contraband Feature
The fun’s over, folks*. About a week and a half ago, iPhone developers TapTapTap pushed an updated version of their Camera+ photography app to the App Store, and all seemed well. Just yesterday, however, they revealed (via a message on Twitter that was pulled about 30 minutes after it went out) that this latest build had a hidden feature: by visiting the URL camplus://enablevolumesnap in Mobile Safari, one could make the volume buttons on the side of the iPhone instead act as a camera shutter button — something which Apple had already said was a no-no.
Hidden features and tricks that circumvent Apple’s rulings don’t fly for very long — and sure enough: as of right around midnight this morning, Camera+ has been pulled from the App Store.
We were able to get the App’s product page to come up once, but attempting to purchase it spit back the standard “The item you tried to buy is no longer available” error that shows whenever anyone’s wrists are being slapped.
It’ll be interesting to see just how Apple responds to this in the long run. TapTapTap is a fairly prominent development team; hell, Apple even just featured Camera+ as an “App Of The Week” just a while back. Previous tricks like this have earned their respective developers year-long bans from the app store — will TapTapTap’s fairly clean history and positive reputation keep them from being walloped by the ban hammer?
* Unless you already downloaded the app. Then the fun can continue forever. Or at least until you accidentally erase or overwrite the App.

Told my buddy to call in since there was a very high chance of contract staking for Fido, since the "no contract staking" was most likely was BS rumor.

Rogers void's the previous contract and restarts a fresh 3 yrs.

Is this the same Camera Plus/+ that I have? The icon looks different????
A side button would be incredibly convenient.

It's a different app unfortunately.
Yours is "Camera Plus" (the word)
This one is "Camera +" (the symbol)

id Software's Rage, running on iPhone 4 at 60fps with 'megatextured' graphics
We're sorry, but the Palm Pixi's rendition of Need for Speed no longer impresses us -- we've just seen John Carmack show off Rage for iPhone. While of course it looks nothing like the PC graphical monstrosity that swept the E3 Games Critics Awards, it's safe to say the 60 frame-per-second tech demo at QuakeCon 2010 shoves the cell phone gaming envelope through a Juggernaut-class brick wall. Where Carmack originally called the iPhone "more powerful than a Nintendo DS and PSP combined," the id Software co-founder is now aiming squarely at the likes of PS2 and Xbox with iPhone 4 hardware. Not impressive enough? He says it still "runs great on an original 2G iPhone" as well. VG247, who liveblogged the event, reports the title will be available in the App Store later this year for a relatively inexpensive price, with a second game available in time for the PC game's 2011 launch. Sadly, there's as of yet no plans for Android owners to get the same megatexturing goodness.
