iOS 5 is coming to 3GS on October 12th their is a free download, and the reason Sprint got iPhone is probably because, of all the reccomendations to get the device, maybe you should contact t mobile and leave feedback saying you want iPhone :)
ive been doing it for years. i was sure with the proposed partnership between tmobile and at&t this year was a given.

What are the differences between the unlocked iphone 4S and the locked ones? I hear that they dont have all the features as the locked ones.

Also siri is available in canadian unlocked iphone 4S? or is siri only for USA Market?
the difference with the unlocked phone is that you can use it on any gsm network...in the u.s. that would be tmobile, at&t and other companies that use sim cards. the factory unlocked 4s will not work for cdma like sprint or verizon.

i heard that they were getting siri with canada. they said earlier they were having problems with the canadian officials about letting the info being used for siri, or something like thata? as far i know siri is avaliable in canada

This will be crazy since the phone is going to be dual gsm, cdma technology. Wouldn't need two phones on Verizon for international travel.

The Verizon phone is technically global capable, but they are keeping the GSM locked to their SIM so you have to pay out the nose for the global connectivity. It is not and as of now will not be able to be unlocked. So sure, you can use it in Asia, but paying Verizon's global rates (I believe that would be $30 for 50 mb of data). You won't be able to buy a SIM from that country at a much more reasonable price and use it. I'm very frustrated with this.
