iPhone is here in Canada
I have ordered an iPhone for my wife on Jul 22, 2008. I had to call Fido in order to get 6G/$30 Data Plan as well since it was not available when you order on-line. Been on the phone for an hour talking to CSR, and he told me I will receive the iPhone in 3-5 business days.
Today is Jul 31, 2008. Still nothing. I felt impatient, and called Fido, and it hasn’t been shipped out. When it’ll be shipped? Aug 4, 2008 (which happens to be a holiday). Now, I’ll probably receive it sometime next week, assuming it’ll be shipped on Aug 5, 2008. Am I sure I will get my wife an iPhone next week? Hell, no…
They have such a terrible customer support when it comes to iPhone. It’s been almost three weeks since iPhone was released on Jul 11, 2008. It must be selling like crazy since I need to wait 10 – 14 business days to get one in my hands. But then, my wife will need to port her number from Rogers to Fido. Who knows how long that’ll take. I read from the web somewhere that one person had to wait for a full week to get the number ported.
Luckily, “Invisible Shield for iPhone 3G” is already delivered so that I can put it on once I verify the phone is in good working order.
I’ll have my fingers crossed.
