Hey everyone. I live in New York and i just went to a AT&T store around SoHo and asked a rep at what time the 3G Iphone will be available for purchase. 8 A.M. 8 A.M. Miss are you sure??? 8 A.M. :) NEXT FRIDAY!!!!
 
Man that morning ill be able to just jump right out of bed. No moaning, no sitting on the EDGE of my bed with my eyes closed for 10 minutes... ALARM CLOCK AND BAM!!! IM OUT. July 11th will be one of the happiest days of this year :)
 
I called and got preapproves with a $0 deposit, so happy. :) I too would like it early so i can spend the day getting used to it, syncing it with my stuff, etc
 
Can't wait til the 11th... I guess I should go in tomorrow or soon to go ahead and get everything set up with the AT&T store right?

I've never had a credit card or anything, nor do I want one, so I wasn't sure if I'd pass the credit check or not. It's a relief to know that I'm eligible. I was approved with a $0 deposit. The guy said that when I got my iPhone 3G I would just need to tell them I've been pre-approved, but it literally takes 1 minute so it's no big deal if I have to do it again. He also said the pre-approved status stays in pending activations for about 30 days.
 
not sure if this has been mentioned or even it is new but the iphone is now feature on the front of attwireless.com
 
Customers who are ineligible for an upgrade will be paying $399 or $499 with a 2yr contract. To my understanding, there will be no exceptions.
 
iPhone pricing on AT&T's website

pretty sure this is new info but AT&T seems like they have their pricing up for the iPhone (both eligible and non-eligible customers):

What will I pay for iPhone 3G?
If you are upgrade eligible and your account is in good standing, you will pay $199 for 8GB (black) and $299 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.

You have the option to purchase an early upgrade priced at $399 for 8GB (black) or $499 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required. Coming soon, AT&T will offer a no-commitment option of $599 for 8GB and $699 for 16GB.

from the AT&T website under the "Get iReady"
 
Ummmm

Since ATT will start sellling at 8AM, will Apple open at the same time? I havent seen anything on this? If not, then looks like there will be lines at ATT.

I was also wondering the same thing. But I think I'll be going to an AT&T store anyways, its only 1 minute away which means I can be first to get my iphone 3g at 8 AM.

I called my local Apple store and they said "so far they are opening at normal hours but there might be change in that"
