iPhone 4 Canadian pricing released, $659 (16GB) and $779 (32GB)

We just received pricing confirmation from Apple Canada for this Friday's iPhone 4 Launch. Seems like "iPhone 4 will be available without a contract for a suggested retail price of $659 (CAN) for the 16GB iPhone 4 and $779 (CAN) for the 32GB iPhone 4 through Apple’s online store (www.apple.ca/store) and Apple's retail stores. An  iPhone 3GS 8GB model is currently available without a contract for $549 (CAN). iPhone 4 will roll out to many more countries later this year and Apple will announce availability and local pricing for these additional countries at a later date."

We are still trying to confirm if web pre-orders will be available or whether interested iPhone 4 buyers will need to camp out in Bell, Rogers, Telus or Virgin Mobile stores to get the iPhones under their providers. Apple Stores should be carrying the unlocked phone that work with any provider, for as long as the MicroSIM card is available.
