An employee in the ATT store said new iphone coming in few months.

[Ninja Guidan]

so even though she claimed they're keeping it under wraps, it isnt possible?

Anything's possible. There's always something new and better coming out in "a few months."

Perhaps they got confused after hearing that another "iPhone-like" device was coming:

ATT Fuze (aka Diamond Pro)

RIIINNNG RIIINNNG...

"AT&T, Shopping Mall Wisconsin, this is Lafawnda, can I help you?"

"Lafawnda? Are you alone?"

"Huh? Who the..."

"Shhh. Stay calm. Be very quiet and just listen. This is Steve. Steve Jobs."

"Steve what? No, we ain't hirin right now..."

"Shhhh...No Lafawnda, I don't want a job, I am a Jobs, STEVE Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer."

"Seeyo of wha? Who?"

"You know the iPhone?"

"Yes."

"Apple makes it."

"Right."

"I'm the president of Apple, Steve Jobs."

"Haha. And I'm the president of AT&T!"

"You are? Wait, that can't be. Listen Lafawnda, I'm calling to tell you something very important. Something no one else knows at AT&T, and only a select few at Apple know."

"What is this, some kind of joke?"

"This is very serious. I'm about to give you a very valuable piece of information. It's for you, and NO one else. Not your boyfriend, your family, your boss...NO one."

"What about random customers? Can I give it to them?"

"NO! Especially not customers! What I'm about to tell you is a highly guarded secret. Do you understand?"

"I guess. Hurry up though, ok? Cuz I'm about to go on break and they got 3 for 1 at Cinnabon til 2pm."

"Ok Lafawnda, here it is. You know the iPhone, right?"

"Hell yeah!"

"Ok, well you know there's been some issues with it, and the service."

"Yeah, I know. I just swapped out the 15th one today."

"Well those days are almost over. There's going to be a brand new IMPROVED iPhone coming in a matter of months."

"Oh. Ok. So, umm, why you tellin' me?"

"Well, I've been dying to tell someone. I can't tell my family, my friends, even my own mom. So I chose you. How does that make you feel?"

"Umm. Ok, I guess. Kinda like winning the Lotto, only no money, and a lot crappier. Are you sure you're really the Apple president?"

Click.

"Hello? Steve's Job? What the? He hung up! The dude hung up! Yo Martin! Sasha! Tyrice! Steve Job just called me sayin' they'll be a new iPhones comin' soon! Can you believe that sh*t? Hahahaaa. Steve Job my a**. Fool."

ROFL!!! That is such a good script! I can almost see Steve Jobs actually "doing" this.....yea right

I have dealt EXTENSIVELY with AT&T/Cingular reps.

I used to work for a premier dealer.

The employees in the stores know NOTHING about new phones, until the rest of the world knows it, too.

Same goes for Apple Store employees.

Why would they leak info about a 'new and improved' iPhone when they just released this one? Such info would potentially cannibalize sales.

That said, sure... there could be new iPhones coming out in 6 months.

But then again, there could NOT be.

It's like that with every other piece of technology in the universe, nearest I can tell.

If you wanna wait, wait.

But, if there's nothing trailblazing in a few months, don't be surprised.

Now, if you want a new Nano, I see there are some pretty sweet ones coming out.

If they were keeping it under wraps and yet she knows and then told your father. that would mean they aren't keeping it under wraps very well. If it was being kept secret how the hell would she know?
