yep, the ATT store in Dallas (Highland Village to be very exact) said, in person, store is opening up at 8am CST, 120 units, i should expect a line, they expect to sell out like last year on first day, they will be getting a second shipment on July 12th, demo units go up on July 11th...not before.
Save me a spot in line and I'll bring breakfast and some cash for a Dark Knight ticket. Einstein Brothers OK? :)

Cinemark? I plan on catching a midnight show somewhere Friday morning and then going to the IMAX showing that evening.

It seems a little odd to be this motivated to get a phone and see a movie, but I think both will be worth it.

ya, the cinemark IMAX. i agree it's odd buying into the hype on a phone and movie, but hey, it's just a small part of life....there will be other things we get excited about later on that will be more worthy.
 
I stopped by my local AT&T store after work on Friday to ask about the new iPhone. While the sales guy couldn't give me any info that we didn't have already, he did say that they were told they would be opening an hour earlier on the 11th. While that's not a guarantee that they'll be selling the iphone at that time, he seemed pretty sure they would be...

I asked about tethering, and he gave the standard - not going to be allowed

I asked if I could xfer the number from my existing AT&T phone over to the iPhone and get the iPhone data plan, but nuke the voice plan on my exisitng 3G phone and keep the LaptopConnect unlimited data plan on it for tethering to my macbook. He said no, they can't do that (which REALLY Peeves me off to no end!)

So it looks like I'm not only going to get an iPhone, but also going to have to get an aircard, pay for two different data plans, and a voice plan, to get ZERO more capability than I have now...

sigh.... Why is AT&T such a bunch of retarded *sshats?
 
Can I look for you two to be holding hands at the Southlake Store?
Unlikely, but I'll be the 6'9" guy in the burnt orange shirt if you want to come by and chat.

I just thought it was cool that someone from these forums would be at the same store I might be going to... you know, like all those other threads on that topic. Feel free to carry on with the 7th grade banter, though.
 
We only have one AT&T store in Savannah Georgia... and things are pretty slow down here in the South, I should probably make sure they even know about the new iPhone ;)
 
I agree, I've worked for fortune 500 companies before & used corporate email, I have never recalled anyone using that kind of vulgar language and tone set by this email, I SAY FAKE.

are you guys kidding me...the guys title is HMFIC...that stands for head motherf****r in charge...lol
 
That would be a close quote to "Pulp Fiction".

Fake and with really BAD TASTE! Vulgar is a kind word for that kind of "Rumor".

Actually, the word for his "rumor" is sarcastic, or perhaps funny.

Geez, how many more people here lack a sense of humor? The guy was making fun of a previous email, not posting a serious attempt to mislead people. It was very funny in my opinion.
 
8AM confirmed

I don't know if this has been posted already but, I live on the east coast and one of the AT&T stores I called this morning already has an automated phone message about the Iphone being sold at 8AM and being iReady so it looks like this is true.

I heard the same message but she said "most" stores will be open at 8AM. I didn't have time to talk to anyone to find out if my local store would be open then. I'll follow-up with that later today.
 
i thought you really didnt care... :)

;-)

I didn't care in that it doesn't really make any difference to me whether it was 8AM or 6PM, as I would still be doing whatever was needed to get one in a timely fashion on July 11 regardless.

It will now be able to be a bit "timelier". ;-)
 
No, it is not.

Yes, it is.

Any self-respecting hacker

Now isn't that an oxymoron.

could have hacked att.com and put that alleged "press release" in there.

And this is someone who is very paranoid about things. I wonder if they go to look at their bank account online, see $300 in it, and wonders if that's real or if someone hacked their bank's website to make it look to them that they only have $300.

Some people will never be pleased. :rolleyes:

BL.
 
You guys tricked me. I will be standing at the Southlake Apple store looking for a 6'9 guy and a white corvette and you two will be in Dallas.
