Walt Mossberg posted a
full review of the original iPhone, to the WSJ, on June 27th 2007 (2 days from launch).
Now considering he'd of had to of been using the phone for at least a week before hand, to make a fair review, that suggests he had the phone on June 20th, or thereabouts.
Meaning Mossberg, if he's to get another early look in this year, should have his mits on the iPhone 3G this Wednesday 2nd July
[= 11th minus 9 days (7 days use - and 2 days from launch)].
And we can expect the review on the WSJ on Wednesday 9th July 2008.
But that's just my nonsensical thinking on the matter.
