Great resource. Don't know why it doesn't say iOS in the title.
No idea when my 4S will arrive since Telus hasn't sent me a shipping confirmation yet, much less a tracking number; but my Kutu case arrived this morning. Very impressed with Sena. $9.99 for FedEx shipping to Canada, and it arrived in two days with no additional brokerage fees, border charges or tax. The case even comes in a gift box with a cloth bag. Not sure what I'll use it for (power adapter and cables?), but if I was giving the case to someone as a gift it's a nice touch.
I'm pleased with the case itself too. The Kutu's leather seems fairly average, but the stitching is perfect. So perfect that I noticed it immediately. Leather is as I expected: firm rather than soft, and it'll provide great scratch protection as well as decent shock protection for minor knocks. Best way to describe it is just thick/firm enough to stop you adjusting the volume buttons through the leather, so it'll stop them from being crushed accidentally. Quick release ribbon works well too, and the stitching of the pull tab is of the same standard as the edges of the case. Really tight, clean work.
Overall it's an expensive case, but the price is reflected in the quality of the workmanship. Whether the quality justifies the price is going to be subjective, but I'd have been satisfied paying full price. With 20% off, I'd say it's excellent value. Here's the code again in case anyone missed it: PCWIPNK11.

I'm afraid so. And it may be made even more difficult by the fact that you won't be able to access the old ones once the new sim is activated.
Can I get a second opinion on this? I want to be wrong because I'm in the same boat. (Upgrading from non-smart phone and therefore can't easily back up contacts to internet)
AT&T has a method of transferring contact information from one SIM card to another in their stores, or from an iPhone to a SIM: I had this done when I went from my OG iPhone to my current dumbphone. I don't know if this would work going the other direction, though, as I don't know if iOS has any way to access the information stored in the SIM.schnell said:

I've never had a RAZR, but way, way, back, prior to the iPhone OG I had a SLVR, and it had a small amout of internal storage where you could save contacts. One should be able to transfer the contacts from the SIM card to the internal storage, and then transfer it to a new card.
If you have a Mac 10.5 or older you should be able to pull the contacts using Sync.

Japan has a CDMA carrier?
I thought that all of the east was on GSM.

First thing I want someone to do is to hold the phone with the death grip and tell me how that works out. If the signal is stable I will succumb to doing Siri

Two of their biggest carriers, DoCoMo and AU, are on CDMA, I believe.

I'm getting nervous about tomorrow, and still not decided on whether I will wait outside the Verizon shop (which is closer and far more convenient), or go to the Apple store (which is much farther away, but all but guaranteed to have the 64gb models in stock, assuming I'm near the front of the line).

It's the nature of shipping.. your package generally travels the country in what appears to be an odd manner.. but it's all based on algorithms, how many packages are going from one place to another, etc. It's not like they can change their flight plans on the fly, they have pre-determined flights all year and the packages get routed around their schedules. If your package went from San Diego to Kentucky and you live in LA.. well.. that's because there was no SD-LA flight scheduled.. and no trucks driving that route.
And of course the occasional human error causes things to go REALLY bad.. as long as the package was never actually in your home city and then left your home city it's likely purposeful.

iPhone 4S apparently fixes this by switching antennas based on how you are holding it.

Did you get the MyChoice delivery alert email? If so you can click the tracking number and log in.
Once you log in there should be a row that says "Special Instructions" and "Delivery Signature Required." There is a checkbox that says "Authorize Shipment Release" or something along those lines. Check that and then submit it and it will waive the signature requirement.

Oh, just making an extra note here for those going to a store tomorrow... Apple appears to be opening at 8:00 a.m.
http://www.iphonealley.com/news/apple-stores-set-to-open-early-for-the-launch-of-the-iphone-4s
Slightly earlier. Plan accordingly.

It seems that any store carrying the device will be doing an 8:00am opening. Apple really has the marketing and selling of their devices on lock down. Everyone was using the exact same pre-order banner, too.

If I ask a friend to bring me back an 4S from the US, will it work over here, in Europe ?
Will it be sim-locked ? How do I unlock it to work on any mobile provider ?

If he buys an "unlocked" one from Apple you'll have no trouble, though they won't be available until November. If he buys one from Sprint or Verizon you may manage it, but your friend is going to have to deal with fees for breaking that 2-year contract.Moundir&Tony>you said:
EDIT: The SIM slot on the Sprint iPhone should be unlocked on Day 1. The SIM slot on a Verizon phone can't be unlocked for at least 60 days after purchase.

Departed Louisville, KY! Looks like delivery for tomorrow is a lock! Now all I have to do is decide if I have the willpower to keep it sealed until I can take it to the Apple store and exchange for a white one. INDECISION 2011!

Couldn't you OPEN it and still exchange it? It's a possibility isn't it?Gary Whitta said:

And when do you plan on exchanging it? Do you think your local Apple store is going to have stock of White iPhone 4Ss in the size that you want if you just stroll on in there Saturday afternoon?
Plus, you won't be able to mess around with the phone on Octoberkast!

According to Engadget the Sprint phone won't be sim unlocked. So I would wait for some confirmation before you decide to buy one from Sprint/Verizon with the hope of using it abroad.

Okay, so in preparation for my new iPhone, I want to transfer all of my contacts/phone numbers to my mac from my current phone, so that I can sync them to the iPhone. Only problem is, I have no idea how to do it.
I connected my phone to my computer using bluetooth, and opened iSync, but it says that my phone is not supported.
Anybody do this with an old ass phone?

Looks like you've got some typing to do. You don't happen to have these contacts somewhere else, maybe? Like Gmail or something? Because you can import them that way.

Well, you never know. If I decide I really want white I can wait a bit. Plus, we'll definitely have a 4S on Oktobercast whether I open mine or not!Zefah said:
Yeah the guy at the Apple Store said I can, it's just slightly more of a hassle.BocoDragon said:

I'm thankful for that. My Canadian carrier utterly failed me, and I doubt I'm getting one tomorrow. I need to vicariously experience 4S launch day through you guys....Gary Whitta said:

I remember doing the same thing with my RAZR and transferring photos onto my Mac. I just connected to it using bluetooth and it browsed it like a regular 'hdd' until I found all of my pictures. I then just copied all of my photos over manually.
But as far as contacts go... when I transferred over my old sim to my 3GS, the ones that were on the sim transferred while those in the phone memory didn't.

Oh, I can connect through bluetooth and transfer media (images, videos, etc.)... but for some reason, I can't find the contacts, and iSync says it is not supported.

Hmmm.. I wonder if Siri can talk to another Siri. Or if you can ask Siri to ask you questions and see if you answer correctly.
