iPhone Sales Training Manual Photos

MacRumors · Jun 8, 2007, 01:30 AM

ModMyiPhone.com posted photos from iPhone Sales Training manuals which arrived today at AT&T stores.

The site quotes some portions of the manual which describe the Email features and Safari features which help sell the iPhone. No new information about the iPhone is revealed in the available passages.

Feels like the flood gates are slowly opening.

I didn't know training manuals could be this exciting? I think right know anything with the word "iPhone" is pretty um great, despite how normally boring it should be.

the iPhone on the front of the manual still says cingular!

Sounds like its coming out on the 29th then. How many years do the rest of us have to wait?

queshy · Jun 8, 2007, 01:36 AM

I can't wait to read some early reviews on the device.

levitynyc · Jun 8, 2007, 01:43 AM

Why? There are going to say what we know. A great device with horrible broadband because its on a ****** network.

darwen · Jun 8, 2007, 01:44 AM

I WANT THE BOOK!!!! ....... crap..... does that make me a fanboy?

With that book I could convince all my friends and family my phone will be better than theirs.... wait.... damnit.

I wonder which chapter trains salespeople to tell folks not to touch the iPhone with a 10 foot pole? My mother-in-law was at a Cingular/at&t store today and the sales guy told her to stay away from the iPhone simply because no one would insure it. I've never dropped a dime on a protection plan and I figure if I drop a $600 phone it's nobody's fault but mine. She said he was telling everyone the same thing, so hopefully he'll drive down demand in the area enough that there'll be one in stock when I get there on the 29th

GrannySmith_G5 · Jun 8, 2007, 02:29 AM

I wish the iPhone was a little more expensive and came in great colors like red, white and blue. Right now it makes me feel like I'm about to eat a McDonalds burger. I want something with class. I want it to make me feel like I'm chewing on a delicious Sizzler or Ponderosa steak. Shoot, I'd even settle for the feeling of traveling in an exotic land, like the garlic laced goodness of an authentic italian Olive Garden breadstick.

Yeah....that's 'kinda funny. The way I understand it, you can't get insurance on any PDA from the same outfits that insure standard cell phones. I just got a Treo with Palm OS for my g/f and they stated that they didn't offer insurance for it. However, there is a company (probably more than one) that does insure PDA's. I'm pretty sure it's Safeco but I"m not posiive.

That AT&T rep is either an Apple-Basher or simply stupid...

***NOT ALL CELL PHONES ARE INSURABLE***

Proof?

Here we go - googled and found this in about 5 seconds...

Quote:

The reason that insurance is not offered for the motorola v3 Razor phone is as stated before because of the price of the phone. It is a $700 phone and the insurance deductible for a replacement is $50 no matter what phone model you have. Do you realize how many people would 'lose' their phones to get another one for a family member? This happens all the time with other phone models and Cingular basically eats the cost. It's not affordable for the company as I'm sure wouldn't be for any other wireless carrier. To be honest, if you feel like you would need inurance on this phone it obviously is not the phone for you. It's a great phone. It has high speed internet, video playback capabilities and has a VGA camera installed but who in their right mind would pay $500 for this phone with a 2 yr service agreement anyway? Maybe you should just stick with the motorola v551. This phone has almost all of the same capabilities and is insurable. It just isn't as slim as the other phone. Is that really that important for an extra $400? I say no.

Hmmm I guess that means that sales rep wouldn't have recommended the RAZR when it was first introduced.... Somehow I think not...

These little details demonstrate that this is an exciting time for all at Cupertino, all MacSites, and all Mac fans around the world.

I want my iPhone dammit!!!

Mac@DBB · Jun 8, 2007, 07:49 AM

I'm interested by the reference in both the document here and on the iPhone website to multi-touch technology. All the adverts I've seen only demonstrate single touch technology (one finger at a time) rather than the cool but somewhat derivative technology M$ have been demonstrating:

http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...y/4217348.html

So is the iPhone true multi-touch?

Where have you been? Perhaps you should watch the demo of the iPhone when Jobs introduced the device.

Better yet check out this vid from a New York Times reporter (David Poge). He actually the same day Steve announced it, got to handle it, the video on the right side of his article is pretty cool. It shows his day at Macworld and then him using the phone.

It also shows him using his index finger and thumb to zoom in and out on some pictures.

A really good review.
