I finally went the Best Buy way (just can't trust Rogers to do anything right) with a $50 deposit. A handy-dandy Black 32GB iP5 is "guaranteed" and waiting for me to walk into the store at 8am Friday morning. The clerk also told me there will be a separate line for preordered customers so as to facilitate quicker exit. |

And that's exactly why I went the pre-order route and looked for the most solid offer. Rogers had an iffy 15 days reservation deal, Bell had some other dubious thing etc.... so I went with Best Buy only after I got it in writing they would have one waiting for me on launch day; pre-order folks get the first phones. All those people without pre-orders.... hope you're at the front of the line, and that's the other, secondary line! |

There were 3 other people in line at 7:30AM. Doors opened at 8AM and I was out the door with my 32GB Black iP5 at 8:15AM. Thank you Kanata Best Buy, turns out the guarantee pre-order from you was the best option!

I'm reading those unfortunate ones (mostly Stateside) are getting a $50 Best Buy gift certificate. LOL! |

Hey, I'm pretty sure I know the guy with the Tim's cup in his hands. Any chance he was a very loud fellow, very social with a raspy voice? |

Not sure. The guy I'm thinking of is a former co-worker (since he has changed campus in the last couple of months) and so I can't ask him. He's also a francophone, with a strong accent when speaking english. Does it match? |

Not at all metal, not a hint of French and I'm half French myself. If I had to guess, I'd say he's strictly une tête carrée! LOL |
