An update for LYKs who are interested in purchasing the 3GS:
I purchased mine today (thru *611)~ expected delivery before July 9th but should be able to get it at my door by the coming Friday.
Here's the deal I got (you'll need to speak to the retention department):
$25 retention plan that includes:
- 200 daytime minutes
- unlimited evenings and weekends
- unlimited fido/fido
- voicemails
- call/name displays
- 2500 sms
Plus $30 6GB Data Plan
- no system access fee
- no 911 fee
Total $55 plus tax per month. Not a huge price difference from the plan I had been using since it was $49.XX plus tax per month without data.
And yes, I got to use my $99.40 Fido Dollars towards my $199 16GB 3GS Iphone
Do you have to get the data plan in order to buy the iphone 3gs?

Yes, and the data plan has a contract of its own for 3 years. If I were to terminate it before it expires, I think I have to pay $5 a month up to $100 until the end of my contract. Which is not too bad I guess? The 3G one only had a $50 penalty tho I believe...
that's bad.. it required you to get the data plan in order to buy the iphone 3gs...

Apple's iPhone 3G S sports chip with 720p HD video capabilities
With Apple's new iPhone 3G S hitting store shelves in Europe overnight, the device was thrown within minutes onto the operating table and gutted, revealing a Samsung-branded system-on-a-chip (SoC) featuring a multi-format codec with untapped HD video playback and capture capabilities.
If I already have an iPhone 3G from Fido and wish to upgrade to the new iPhone 3G S, are there any special offers?
Yes. For a limited time, existing iPhone 3G customers can apply their FidoDollars towards the no-term cost of the iPhone 3G S without subscribing to a data add-on. In addition these customers will receive a $100 FidoDollars Bonus top up towards the purchase of the new iPhone 3G S. This offer is effective June 19 to July 31st, 2009.
