Even if I bring a Canadian one to AT&T I HAVE to have a data plan which is where they make their $ and they don't have to subsidize it.

AT&T blah.]]>Jun 15th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/

That's a major benefit for unlocked phones.

Dumb question... those of us who currently own a 3GS ... will our phones be unlocked? I would love to give mine to my girl when I upgrade. Buying two phones in full is going to hurt...]]>Jun 15th 2010 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/
I might wait a few months on that, Apple's goal now is to go multicarriers. I'm not saying they will get a aws version, in fact doubt it, but stranger things have occured.]]>Jun 16th 2010 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Actually, in Canada, Rogers is the ONLY gsm carrier (Fido is owned by Rogers).

So unless u travel a lot or are an American wanting to gid rid of AT&T, I don't think unlocking the phone matters much up there.]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/

Bell and Telus have launched HSPA networks, and both sell the iPhone. While they do not also have 2G GSM nets, this does not make an unlocked phone "pointless".]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Yeah your right.

Well, paying possibly $600 for an iPhone is not called being Screwed? And THREE year contracts? That is being screwed...]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/
If the iPhone unlocked is $600 they will be sold out for months, which is why I believe it's very unlikely. When the 3GS came out up here, it was $799 and $899 respectively. There has to be catch... it's either going to be insanely expensive or all the carriers are probably going to have the same voice & data plans.]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/
Not true Bell and Telus has HSPA networks too and they carry the iPhone 3GS]]>Jun 15th 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/
Actually, you don't HAVE to get a contract with any phone company. It just means you don't get a subsidized phone.

Moreover, there are also two new mobile companies in Canada: Wind Mobile and Mobilicity. The plans with these companiese are cheaper than Robellus (FYI, that means Rogers, Bell, and Telus)

They work with the new AWS (1700 band), and with the iphone 4 being a penta HSPDA+ phone, you have all five carriers to choose from.]]>Jun 15th 2010 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/
Sorry man, it's already been confirmed. That extra 3G band in the iPhone 4 is not band 1700 (also known as AWS). It's actually a 3G band for Japan. It's sad though, if it was AWS, everyone would be going to WIND & Mobilicity for unlimited data and voice.]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Actually, there is another new carrier in Canada: Public Mobile. But I think they use CDMA, so the iPhone is not going to work on their network as well.]]>Jun 15th 2010 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/
correction:

mobilicity is unlimited surfing(no tethering)
wind is unlimited data(tethering)

huge difference]]>Jun 16th 2010 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/
Actually, Canadians have to wait because the big 3 carriers of the iPhone in Canada collectively decided to wait until after new wireless phone regulations governing the province of Quebec come into effect on June 30. Since Quebec will be making some sweeping changes to the rules in that province with respect to wireless phone service, the Canadian big 3 decided to push the iPhone back to July to deal with the change over of the rules in Quebec at the end of this month first before taking on the launch of one of the most highly anticipated devices in history.

In a nut shell, it's Quebec's fault (though the new rules in Quebec are pretty awesome for consumers - no more ridiculous ETFs there and no more hidden fees or activation fees either. Pretty sweet deal for customers)]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Jun 15th 2010 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-is-unlocked-in-canada-too/Me Canadian singing: Dancing in the rain, dancing in the rain, what a wonderful feeling, I get and unlocked iPhone again.
