Did you even bother to read the attachment!? :rolleyes:

One interesting bit of info from looking at that is, the AT&T employees are instructed, on July 11th, to download apps from the App Store onto the demo iPhones BEFORE they open at 8:00AM! That should mean we all should be able to use the app store that early instead of waiting around all day wondering what time the app store will be online. (it also looks like the iTunes update should happen at least by July 10th possibly if they have to tether by then.)

Just some observations...

and thanks PhightinPhils26 for the info!

Just because YOU don't know about it doesn't mean it's not true. Beings that he supplied the info about the stores opening at 8AM, I have no reason not to believe this either. It seems as though he has a good source. Many stores probably don't have the info yet, but many other stores may also have already received it.

Sorry, you've already proven to us that you miss your own company's info earlier.

Further proof of the type of SOME (but not all) AT&T employees we sometimes have to deal with when we call them up asking for info (and they don't know) :rolleyes:

Personally, I would not want to risk my friends job, etc if I did get one, snapped pictures and video, etc. and was discovered.

It will be a few days from release. I know breaking information can be fun (and thank you for the 8am tidbit) but I think the proverbial line crossing might be when you show product ahead of time.

How many rumors does MR post without a pic or proof. The OP's signature is "This forum deserves a better class of rumor... and I'm gonna give it to em!" When he starts giving inaccurate information then people just won't listen to him. Now that he's two for two, maybe people will.

For now, if PhightinPhils26 states some iPhone3G info, it's good enough for me.


Oh and cWeems, grumpy or not, it's AT&T reps like you who like to "know what they're talking about" and post stuff like:

Then later realize they, nor their manager had any idea of what was going on before with their previous statements.

NVM FOUND IT, I RETRACT MY PREVIOUS STATEMENTS PHILS!! [Bolding is emphasis, not all caps.]

hes right.

This is why people have problems with AT&T reps being uninformed. If you don't know, don't act like you do...

Agreed. PhightinPhils26 is turning out to be a good and reliable source that we can trust, so I for one will listen when he has new bits of info for us.

ur getting a little too excited there buddy, im constantly helping people find discounts and figure out their plans on this site, pretty much the only reason im on here... so this one time i made an assumption then realized it, boo hoo.

what does it matter anyway, no one will own one till friday, all this does is keep us occupied till then, o well. :rolleyes:
