I checked several stores in Downtown Vancouver yesterday to get a Lumia 710. Went to the Kiosk in Pacific Centre and they were selling it (another guy had just bought one), but could apparently not sell it off contract to a non-Rogers customer. The Rogers Wireless stores had them in stock, but were not allowed to sell them. Rogers Plus at Davie & Jervis had them and was selling off contract. FutureShop did not have them in stock. I'd assume on the 6th they'll be selling them everywhere, but for now it seems the Rogers Plus stores would be the ones to go to.
Please don't PM me asking questions that could very easily be asked publicly.

Played with one for a bit in Amsterdam just over new year....fancy little phone...don't get what the big fuss is. It's a Nokia? *Shudders*. Hopefully I'm grossly mistaken.

Nokia makes great hardware, it's the Symbian part that was the problem. It's a really good phone, minus the disappearing keyboard bug in Build 7740, and 8107 hasn't been pushed out to the 710 yet.
Compal/Foxconn etc make everyone's hardware. Whether the quality is good or not depends on the instructions they receive and how many cost cuts they have to make.

migo,
You are lying to yourself when making a blanket statement regarding today's Nokia "quality". Free to challenge the claim and I have enough SBs from Salo, first-hand experiences to deal with their "quality" hardware.
I'm not lying to myself, you're just tripping on the complexities of English again. Quality isn't just the ratio of functioning products to lemons, it can also be a comparison of functioning products. Compare a working Nokia to a working phone from another brand and the sound is much better.
Your opinion and the statistics in reality are mutually exclusive. I have used, played, collected, tested, reviewed, repaired Nokia handsets from DCT3 generation to the current "burning platform". Witnessing the decline in quality, anyone who has the first hand experience would understand how disappointing with the significant proportion of Nokia handsets plagued with design flaws. The symbol of quality, well-made. durable, time-less, ground-breaking deign... not anymore.
I am not even talking about the quality control at some notorious assembly lines in Cluj in the early days after moving from Bochum! I am referring to the fundamental shift in the circuit design, material / component sourcing, and the side effects of Pb-free solders (which leads to flaky connectors prone to separate from the PCB) or getting the AMOLED display from Samsung but not the drivers required for calibration as a complete package (which leads to iconsistent colour renditon ). No translation is required for such nonsense
