It was a joke about the fact that there is more than one EST. Once again, the ignorant american didn't know that, nor check my location.
Edit: lol, surely you'd catch on when I said that most apple events happen at around 4AM here?![]()
just woke up (11am) and the apple store is still up and running. Also the prices and everything r still listed on the german page
I've just got off the phone with Steve. He was in a meeting but came out as he owes me a favour.
I said that the guys on macrumors were going stir crazy with all th gossip and could he for once and all tell me what the score is on the new iphone.
He told me everything. I have therefore listed the info below for everyones benefit.
New iphone announcement on Thursday 15th May, phone available from Friday 16th in UK and USA. June 10th everywhere else.
New iphone is available in two formats. Black one aimed at business users and white for everyone else.
Both have 3G and GPS. Black one has no camera and is 16G. White one is 32G and 3.2mp camera.
Announcement in June at developers conference is launch of iplay? (didn't get time to ask about what iplay is as bill gates interupted our conversation - he wanted to know is I was free to play poker tonight!)
So there you go. Don't say I don't do anything for you!![]()
Calling the Bold (or any recent blackberry) a turd would be somewhat harsh, there are far worse phones out there that'd deserve that label. Any Windows mobile phone comes to mind...yes even the Touch diamond, Symbian phones would be another example
I'm comparing the RIM devices as turds to iPhone which they *are* comparatively.Believe me when I say I was the happiest boy alive to ditch my series40 nokia for iPhone.
RIM says the delay for bringing such a device to the market is that it wanted to make sure that battery life wouldn't be sacrificed at the expense of including the 3.5G technology
Remember the touch 32gb actually has 2 16gb chps in . this is possible due to the lack of telephone internals in the touch so unless there s a 32gb chip out there I think we might not see it in the iphone yet
Didn't they start selling them last year at 6pm(pst)? I know it's wishful thinking, but maybe they wont make changes to the site until then.
Probably just a pipe dream though.
In my opinion we will see the new iphone at WWDC. I know that it's been said that it isn't a developer's item, so why wait till then. I don't think that that is entirely true. This would be the perfect time to hype the SDK some more and show the latest and greatest programs that developers have made with the SDK.
Second reason I think that we won't see it for a month from now.....
Remember last year when they dropped the price of the iphone and had to refund hundred dollar bills. While it probably didn't hurt the Apple bottom line, I imagine that it was a huge pain in the a**. If I was steve, I would gladly give up 1 month's worth of iphone revenue (it's been out of stock on apple.com for several days now) for this reason. While the phone IS out of stock, the press from the hype and anticipation of a "3G" Iphone is way better PR than having to hand out rebate checks
my 2 cents....any rebuttals?
I just called AT&T and spoke with a sales rep. It was surreal. I told the rep what I was looking for and his response was, "Yes sir, we can certainly help you with that. Have you seen the new LG phone?"
Hey guys talking about iphones, does anyone here watch house md?

I don't watch the show, but I saw the pic, and it does look an awful lot like a white iPhone. Probably a case or colorware, but I'm still not sure.
Looks like the incase slider, in white to me.
