Allright so who is going to be camping out in front of AT&T Stores and Apple Stores for the Iphone???
...
I'm waiting for the next generation https://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/forum.php ?fm=m&ff=4&fi=1170093# iPhone. https://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/forum.php ?fm=m&ff=4&fi=1170093# No thanks...
...
Yeah but i think this one is going to be around for a year or more before they put out a second generation. Plus they still haven't put out a new Ipod Eithier.
...
I heard that it would be any time between November and January, when the next version of the iphone would come out, and it would be 3G.
I want one with built in GPS, it just seems only natural to if it comes with Google Maps already on there.
...
Yeah GPS would be great, but i think this version may be able to do that. I mean Palm has software that can do that. It's just software that would work great. I'm not so concerned about 3G. I really like the Wifi, so many place have wifi acess now. I'd rather have wimax than 3G
...
Yeah, and I can understand that, but they deployed 3G in all the areas of Texas I travel to and live in... Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and I have to say I can notice a huge difference with it, and I am impressed.
If this version has GPS, because like many people have said earlier there is still a lot of info that is not out there for the Iphone, though they did not suggest it would be, but if it does have it, I think I will get it the first time around, who knows.
...
I'm sorry but why would you camp out for something thats going to be the biggest pain in the ass?
-no removable battery. so if battery goes bad, the whole phone is gone.
-completely touch screen. so if touch screen goes bad the whole phone is useless.
i just don't see how any person with reasonable intelligence would buy the first generation of this phone. wait a few months and let them work the kinks out.
...
I'm perfectly happy with my SE k790a. I'll sleep in my bed thank you very much!
...
I hope someone camps out in front of my store... because we won't be carrying them. It'll be awesome.
...
Caleb,
I was contacted by an Apple representative to ask if I would be interested in carrying them. I can forward the email to you to send to David S if you would like.
Will
...
I know "someone" with the iPhones has contacted us, but I'm not sure if they're Apple direct or through a 3rd party. Depending on the cost for us, we may or may not carry it. We're not betting on it though.
Hey, anybody wanna buy a Blackberry Curve?
...
You already got a call?
Damn.
No return call for me.
...
I didn't think of that, thanks! I'll put up a sign on my front door so every body knows I do not have the I-phone. Granted people will still walk in an ask. 🙄
Perhaps I should stock up on 8800s for when the market sells out of I-phones...
...
Yeah, not a bad idea! Have they put out a release date yet?
...
Not an official one, but it's supposed to be out this quarter.
So I'm estimating July.
...
I was in a Corporate store that was wiring the facility for 4 iPhone displays. Seems like a huge rollout to me.
...
Really what did you see??
...
Lots of electrical cable, some dust, and ceiling tiles being moved. 😁 👀
...
Oh so nothing much, i wonder if they have phones in the back? Very cool thanks for the info
...
Nah no phones in the back. I seriously doubt we'll get them until the day they launch. When the Slvr came out, they were overnighted to us and we received them the day of launch.
...
Oh you work for cingular. I heard rumors that some people from AT&T were getting some dumbed down version to use. So do you know how they are going to go about the Wifi? Is At&T going to try to charge for that even though it should be free.
...
I doubt they'll charge for the wifi. The 8525 has it and it works with no problem.
As far as versions for employees to use, I've heard nothing about it, but if they did, I seriously doubt they'd "dumb em down". What would be the point? There would have to be 2 versions produced...
...
I see, yeah i'm hoping that with the wifi can you skype or jajah, to make calls through wifi. Thanks for the info though i'm sure your probably getting tons of questions.
...
No displays were up yet. Just wiring going in.
...
I'd save the campout until the bugs are worked out. Just my opinion, though.... Did we even find out the "official" date of release??
...
No, Jobs is really good at stuff like that. Apple seems to never let anyone know anything until they want you to. Drive's me nuts
...
For a fricken phone? That's just sad.

And camping out for playstation or x-box isn't sad?
...
I waited about 8 hours for a Wii. Does that make it under the line of being called a "camp out"?
...
Yes, that's equally sad. Camping out for anything electronic that will be widely available is idiotic.
...

Yes.It's rediculis. All demand and no supple. If one want's to camp out then so bee it. Thats all im talking about.
...
Ok now this may be mentioned in this thead somewhere but the "release date" is June 15th. There are no waiting lists-first come serve. As mentioned on another blog on phonescoop a couple weeks ago, corporate employees are not able to take pto between 6/15-7/15, so they think its going to be a big hit. and yes in my store new data connections and electric outlets were hooked up. att also opened up a wifi router for demonstrating wifi on the iphone. THE INFO I AM STATING MY BE DIFFERENT PER MARKET! we have been informed to not give any info to customers coming into store until closer to release date.

If people are going to be shelling out that much money for a gatdamn phone they deserve to be punched in the nuts/ovaries.

yea. i feel the same way that spend 200.00 on an ipod and then they spend 200.00 on a camera and then another 200.00 on a phone. those people are stupid and should be punched in the face.
...
Or better yet, 200.00 on an Ipod, 200.00 on a camera, and then get mad that they do not get a mp3, camera, 3g phone for free. 🙄
