AT&T Webpage Leaks Black iPhone?

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?
It is actually AEST... (Australian Eastern Standard Time)
The store often goes down around lunchtime in the UK so I guess there's still time. Kind of not too hopeful though.
Does seem odd that everywhere is pretty much out of stock though with no firm news of a new iPhone. Fingers crossed.
I called Steve
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!

Wow, I just got off the phone with Steve also. He told me the same thing so this must be true.
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.
just had a look at the lack of pricing on the UK website - this is very strange and I dont recall this happening. If they are prepping the stores like this ten I think we should look for a 'silent' update and maybe not even a bump in memory specs.
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
but like everyone I dont know and I am VERY excited about this, reminds me of the MBP update where I nearly exploded with anticipation and then bought one 15 mins after the announcement!!

I just had a chat with an online representative on the Apple Store UK. Basically, they don't have a clue when they're going to be getting any more iPhone stock and suggested going down to one of their retail stores. Either they genuinely are being kept in the dark or they're keeping very tight lipped. Either way, I'm not at all sure we'll be seeing any announcement before WWDC, despite the fact that there seem to be no iPhones available.

I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but I thought this was funny.
From here. Man, that screen really is tiny. Or it's the size of the iPhone's and the Blackberry is just huge. Either one would surprise me. Blackberries have been pretty large. Even with a small screen, this one looks to be about as thick as my first phone back in the 90s.
Darn it!
I have been skeptical everytime someone has said "this is the week" over the past month or so, but I actually thought we'd see it today. Oh, well.... Maybe later this week, or next week, or next week, or next week...
Sooner or later, it will happen!

i really dont think a 32 gb iphone will come out until the Touch get bumped up. right now the only advantage the Touch has is it has more space so i would expect the update at WWDC and then an upgrade up to 32 some time in the fall when they upgrade the ipods.
maybe at 6pm pst
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.

If they have not announced it yet today then they are not going to. We will just have to wait and see what Apple's plans are. My current verizon contract is not up until the end of July so I have some time to wait before I can switch.
If they were going to release them at 6pm today, I would think that you would have been able to order them for a day or more already. For example, Leopard was released at 6pm on the day of launch- however, you could preorder before then, which allowed the preorder people to have their copy delivered on the day of launch, instead of only being able to order that day. Because of this, many people (myself included) received their copy of Leopard earlier in the day.
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?

AT&T update
Well, today I stopped into the local Apple store and mentioned this whole incident. The associate was puzzled by it, insisting that AT&T has a five year contract with Apple. Her only thought was that since the iPhones were out of stock, the person from AT&T was just trying to push whatever phone-du-jour that they had.
There's another AT&T store at the same mall where the Apple store is, so I walked over there. The person I spoke with seemed very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. He understood what I wanted (a bundled communication package) and did his best to put one together for me. But AT&T doesn't yet offer Internet service in my area. He was willing to sell me a USB cellular receiver to plug into my computer, but that would cost $60 a month per computer. That sounded absurd, when I would already be paying $60 a month for the iPhone's data service.
If I could tether the iPhone's Internet to my desktop, all would be right with the world. But I don't think AT&T is heading in that direction.

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.
thats exactly what it is. I just returned the white case after selling my iphone on ebay.
