Today the iPhone 4 launched in Canada. I decided to stop by the Vancouver Apple Store in Pacific Centre to check out the action.
People were lined up outside Pacific Centre, down Granville Street almost to Denman. Apple Store employees were generally milling about. One was handing out iPhone 4 cupcakes!
Inside Pacific Centre the line to the Apple Store was just as long. People had started lining up at 1 in the morning for this!
When I got to the front of the line the store was already open, before the mall’s normal opening of 10am. People were being let in one at a time to buy their new shiny toys. The benches at the front were set up with the new iPhones, and the banners and advertising was already up.
After spending 20 minutes hanging about, I got bored and checked out. I didn’t get a cupcake.

Not interested in Rogers “service”, eh?

I’m already locked-in with Telus. Got another 2.5 years left on my contract, and I don’t want to spend $160 to upgrade.
