i tried to get a hup in store but apprarently if you hupped withihn 6 months you cannot get another hup even at the full price minus 250$. Is this true?
Eleven hours. Wow. Way to go, Dave.
lol, I was in line for 11 hours!
Went at 3, got the phone at 1-2ish. Apparently the Rogers network crashed, so they started putting aside Rogers customers and let people who would buy the phone outright in first (luckily myself!)
Anyone else was at the Apple Store in Square One?
