2. Even if it's not, why does the fact there's no brake lights illuminated have anything to do with it? Drivers of cars making up rows of traffic in Europe generally don't all have their foot on the brake pedal - most cars have manual transmissions and thus don't try and creep forward whilst in traffic. It is considered that those who do drive an automatic should knock the gearbox into neutral and apply the handbrake if they are to be stopped for any length of time - especially in the dark - as to prevent bright brake lights from blinding the driver behind. One should only illuminate their brake lights - whatever transmission - if they are at the rear of a queue of stationary traffic and can see a car approaching from behind at speed.

That's awfully friendly. In the bay area (USA) we do nothing of the sort.
 
Is it Me?

Is it me, or are the decimal points on the photo for "Capacity" and "Available" both commas?
 
Either that - or they are really good at driving to be so close without hitting the brakes (ie no brake lights are on in the photo) :rolleyes:

I say it's standing traffic. When you're saying that you see no braking lights you should keep in mind that manual gearing is VERY common in Europe, so when your car is standing still, you do NOT have to keep the foot on the brake, and you'll not have the braking lights flashed.

Yeah, it's not part of learning to drive per se (not until you get into Advanced Driving tests), but any decent driving instructor should at least mention it to his / her pupil.

Right! Back on topic. So, white iPhone 4...;)

I went to 2 AT&T stores today and they know nothing about the white iphone 4. They did not even know it was releasing.

That's what they want you to think.
 
That screen looks nice and yellow compared to that white front plate!
 
The front of the white iphone looks neat. The back is rather hideous.

Perhaps they should make it white on one side and black on the other.

Then again people wil argue which side should be white and which should be black.

no trust me they did not know ****!!! She looked me at me and said it not coming out and then I said it's supposed to come out tomorrow and she looked at me like I was crazy. She asked her manager and he said we did not receive any.

They knew nothing?

Did the manager look like this?

Called every AT&T store in my area (Exton, PA) and not a single person had a clue about the white iPhone. One lady said "I think it's all just hype, we have no information on any incoming shipments". So unless they were just misinformed or hiding something, it doesn't look like they will have any in stock tomorrow. Called my local Apple store and the guy gave a really generic corporate response along the lines of "if you don't see it on the apple site I don't know anything about it". Sounded kind of fishy to me.

If the AT&T stores really don't get them in stock tomorrow, why did numerous international carriers get them in? Since apple sent them white units, why haven't they made a press release?

The white iphone has been very mysterious since the beginning.

If the employees want to keep their jobs and the store's good standing relationship with Apple, they won't willingly tell you about an unannounced product. Plain and simple. That's how they're trained to respond and they're not going to tell you a secret just because you asked nicely.

this looks like it might be a best buy exclusive. I truly think AT&T knows nothing about it. Why would they hide it? They get a commission for every phone sold at the AT&T store so they want customers. They had problem telling people the release date on previous release dates.

Yeah that's definitely a valid point. I'm hoping that's whats going on, certaintly seemed like that was the case with the Apple store employee I spoke with.

You'd think apple would make an announcement by now if it was really going to be released tomorrow. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
 
I'm wondering why they changed the sensor area. Looks more like the area that's on the black iPhone 4. I've never had any issues with the sensor area with any of the several white iPhone 4 front panels that I've received.
 
I posted this earlier but a good friend of mine who works at an apple store hasn't seen any white iphone 4 shipments or promotional stuff today at work.(hes still working)
