AT&T iPhone 3G shipment info
Tired of the onslaught of iPhone 3G news? You’re going to have to bear with us a little longer, friends. We just got word on some semi-strange but sensible iPhone 3G shipment policies. Here’s how it goes: AT&T stores have already received most likely two shipments of iPhone 3Gs. All AT&T stores will be getting a third shipment of iPhone 3Gs tomorrow, but there’s a catch. They can’t sell Friday’s shipment until Saturday. And guess what? There’s a fourth shipment coming Saturday, and you guessed it — they can’t sell those until Sunday. While this might mean some poor souls in line won’t be getting their iPhone 3Gs tomorrow, if they don’t get there early enough, it gives everyone who couldn’t scam their way out of work a chance to live again. What’s the verdict on the policy? Yay, or nay?
Thanks, Ronnie!
Sounds like just another trick of the almighty Apple marketing if you ask me.
them trickster apple people!
yea at last a way to get the iphone 3g
Thank You Apple
naw thats not right i talked to a ATT person on Wednesday and they said they are going to sell the 3g Iphone on friday this just crap make sure u check your sources!!
Did you not read a word I wrote?
Judging by his grasp on the English language, I gather that he might be lacking in the reading comprehension department.
WTF, no one? Doesn’t anybody use any sort of proper English or spelling anymore? Why not slow down a bit and think about what you are writing so it makes sense to the rest of us?
Good Info BG.
yes i read what u said but i personally spoke with someone that i know at the ATT store that is walking distance away from mine house and the lady told me that they would be ready to sell when the doors open at 8AM
Christ… you’re hopeless.
I guess a good question is how many iphones are in each shipment? I mean if it several thousand or more I’m not worried but if its only lets say 100 or so then I say it its time to riot.
haha
I can confirm that this is true. I got my hands on an iPhone 3G this evening at a pre-launch meeting. There was one customer waiting in line since 11am this morning!
ok, ill spoon feed you buddy,
they (att) will sell iphones Friday mmmk!? they will, come down, no one is saying they wont.
HOWEVER!!!….. you follow so far?
they will stop selling that friday when they run out of the ORIGINAL shipment sent to them already to be sold Friday… good so far?
THEN….. follow closely now, gets tricky….
they will have to wait til next day to sell a NEW shipment they get on Friday itself til Saturday, they cant get into that stash to sell it Friday in case they run out until the following day….. same goes for the shipment they will get Saturday to be sold Sunday….and so on.
please tell me you got it now?!
“They can’t sell Friday’s shipment until Saturday.”
They CAN sell Thursday’s shipment on Friday though.
@bob
Yeah, good question man. At AT&T stores, what we’ve found is an absolute minimum of 20 all the way up to 150 which are available for sale tomorrow. Very large AT&T stores might have more. However, we’ve heard Apple stores have got anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 units in stock for tomorrow’s launch.
@nick
Thank you dude.
My store is getting around 70 per shipment. 30 black 8gb, 30 black 16gb, 10 white 16gb.
I personally think ‘no one’ is just messing with you based on the current blogs! Hence the choice of names. lol
Why isn’t att more upset that apple is getting some many more units? Att is losing upsale bussines aren’t they?
Same thing happened last year… End of the day, Apple controls the distribution.
BGR I havent seen an update on the test you guys made on the Xperia … any news about that…I am kinda tired of hearing only about the Iphone
apples way too controlling in their business practices. I can’t stand that
@nick
Fu!cking hilarious.. ha ha ha. nicely written… even i got it… ha ha ha
I rather Apple get my money than ATT. If I contribute my 2 shekels to Apple they might make even more innovative..cough, cough, software like MMS and Cut and Paste. Here’s hoping, praying, Hail Mary that Applications will fix this. At least I can SMS through AIM, Thanks God for that.
Talked to our Apple store in the Mall, they will prolly run out before we do at my at&t location. Also Apple stores can not process transactions on any Biz or IRU account. So if you have a work discount on your account you have to get it at a at&t store as apple wont have access to touching those types of accounts.
