And So it Begins…
Just as the image above suggests – it’s here and, ummm, it has “3G speed built in”. It’s a good thing Apple clarified that because we thought the new iPhone came with 3G on the side. We’ve got to give it to Apple this time as they did a much better job of not only building hype, but also convincing a whole lot more people that they need to have the iPhone 3G the instant it’s available. Last year the few stores that had lines form pre-release were blown out of proportion, not to mention few and far between. This year, it’s getting dirty. Longer lines, seemingly more anxious people and we have some stores running out of iPhones shortly after opening their doors. We’re getting emails and comments reporting that some stores are already planning to sell their Saturday allotment today. Wow. As you know, we already got our grubby mits on an iPhone 3G so we might just sit tight and enjoy the AC today. If you’re one of the crazies brave souls out there this morning on the front lines, best of luck to you. In the meantime, we’ll be checking out a few games, a little Twitterific maybe, and perhaps one of the three thousand to-do applications in the AppStore. Man, developers really think that iPhone owners have a lot to do. Clearly not considering all of the people out there buying iPhone 3Gs today instead of working. Maybe they should crank out a few job search apps…
Gotta Love you guys for these giveaways.
NO COMMENT.
I want in on the action.
FTW! (And hopefully to not get robbed!)
I was in line for and iphone this morning, and right when I was at the door about to go in. The assistant manger came out and told at least 200 people, “We are sold out, No more iphones”
Glad I’m not standing in those crazy lines today. Instead I’ll just hope to win this little contest.
With the way Activation servers and iTunes are staying up, it’s going to be a rough weekend for those at the stores….
I would love to win the new Apple 3G iPhone!!!
yeah stores are selling out now.
i want to see the weekend numbers worldwide, im betting it will be huge.
Dear Tards,

Thanks for my new iPhone guys, my unusual name clearly makes me the most deserving of this fantastic free gift.
goodbye WinMo! thanks for the memories (leaks)!
omg! I want iphone!!! so I can stop using my bag phone lol!
I would like to have the black one, please.
How is the price of the BB Bold going to compare with the Iphone.
This is not the comment thread for the drawing, folks…
AT&T Store on 280 in Birmingham AL (US) sold out almost immediately, only received 70 phones despite being the top seller of iPhones in the state. Apple Store at the Summit still has a huge line down the sidewalk, maybe 150 people in it. I did a drive by and went back to the office; not wasting time waiting in line for something that anyone will be able to walk in and buy in a couple more days with no delay.
Man, could I use a good job search app for my iPhone!
Here I sit…no iPhone…because iTunes kicked the bucket. I was the first one sent home from the store I was in and told to activate at home. I yelled to the mobs still in line, “They lied to us! We can activate at home!”. Maybe that’s my iPunishment?
This is the stupid people thread!!!
good price
