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…
I actually thought I wasn’t going to like the new form factor but after checking it out at the store it is love again.
HELLOOOOOO 3G iPhone!!!
please let me win! wooooot
I want an iPhone!
I comment, therefore, I am.
speaking of the learning curve.
my new iPhone won’t let me set up voicemail. I even restored it to factory settings. I’ve researched it and found no answers. It must be something fundamental. If anyone knows what I’m doing wrong…
I’m planning on buying one when the lines are gone, but I’d love to win one.
The only way I’ll get an iphone is from BG.
Oh wow, looks so much like, the, uhm, first iphone. I wonder if it really is better than a crackberry…
I dont have to wait 6 hours in line for a server to crash?!?! Im in!
can i have one?
I sure hope I win.
byahhhhhhh
being cdn and all, it’s hard not to support RIM, but Apple, as they always do, pushes the limit of consumer expectations. thanks for your work boy genuis!
When is radioshack going to carry it?
I really hope that the thunder has some I phone killing features that include a more advanced browser for accessing banks.
Ill take one!
It is my turn to win one of these contests.
I love APPLE and work for T-Mobile. Gotta love directing people to the nearest AT&T store is. Maybe just maybe one day it will be network free!
Iphone 3G Rocks My Socks!!!!!
gimme!!
ok its here, does this mean we can get the normal iphone cheaper now? i mean whats the difference besides 3G ?…….3G……yup its worth the extra bucks
I would love one but alas, I don’t have enough $$$. I have enough for a free one though.
The MobileMe function is great, the phone is incredible, but what is up with the speaker, that is not fair at all, it is a music phone, at least this one has the connect for regular head phones and will not cost 30 bucks but they will find a way to get that money Job 3.17 (nothing interesting) if the white one get scratched it may be over and the black one is like a finger printing machine (best thing is you can tell if someone touched it) other than that, Great Phone
Oh how i wish i could get one..plzzz Lord Almighty!
I could sure use one to replace my run-over original model…
