How about poor little Canada…
Seems the iPhone 3G launch will be lack-luster this Friday. Rogers/Fido are the only stores selling iPhone 3G. Their staff are not properly trained and stock quantities will be low. Apple Stores in Canada are providing workshop, Personal Training/Genius Bar support only at this time, and will be selling limited third party accessories. Let’s see what happens next…

Stores are ready for launch day. It’s a “all hands on deck” event just like Black Friday or an OS X launch. However, after that, stores are not staffed to sell the iPhone. With large crowds due to Back to School promotion, there isn’t enough staff to spend 20-30 minutes with customers to pick out a phone, a plan, accessories, and activate the phone. There are going to be a lot of angry customers waiting around for help.
