Most likely a binder, some discs, and some POP (point of purchase signage for the non-retail folk), nothing more...............

it said is was in a safe in which THE SAFE was padlocked....silly..learn to read!
"a padlocked" box. Too bad it's cardboard.

I agree, possibly some display pictures & specs as part of the sales kit? if it was the new 3g iPhone it would be arriving with armed security guards under lock & key till after Steve Jobs Key note tomorrow
We keep hearing about Apple stores getting in shipments of mysterious boxes... but I have not heard anything about AT&T stores getting anything at all.
Are the new phones only going to be available at Apple directly? I don't get it. The nearest Apple store to me is an hour away There are three AT&T stores nearby, so I am hoping to be able to pick one up at one of those...
Am I gonna have to wait until tomorrow to find out?

That wont happen, the carrier would not allow it.
There's no point in just doing a straight conversion based on current rates. Apple seldom prices their products that way.
".....the London Regent Street Apple Store has received "a single box that is padlocked, and under orders to be put in a safe until Monday."
It most certainly does not.

Good idea.
Moments when I just want to sneak into the passcode section of the apple store... you know, the door next to the bathroom where all the magic is?
I've been tempted everytime I come out of the bathroom and an employee just walked out the door...

So although I'd love to believe that these are real images... I doubt that they are. If you look at the images on web-mobile.net.. and you scroll all the way down to the last image, of the iphone sitting in the box alone on the wood grain table, you can see that the underside of the iphone is 3/4 silver aluminum with the black booty. It's not completely black like the reversed image would have you believe.
Look closely and you can tell. Its iPhone 1 with a skin over the screen... an ugly skin too.

Well the "American" price compared to the Euro price, or even the UK pound price, is often 1:1. This doesn't really mean much, given that T-Mobile Germany won't be selling in the US, but a US equivalent promotion would mean a $99-250 iPhone.
If history is any indication, Apple Stores do get deliveries before big events, with instructions about when to open them.
People leaking these photos should be careful how they hold the box. They might be identified by their fingerprints!

If it's really starting at €99 that probably means about £79, which means I will be most certainly getting one of those - and transferring to which even network (presumably O2) offers it!
Hurray for toys!

All right, well, given AT&T's blackout dates, I guess it would make sense if the iPhone didn't go on sale on Monday and Steve just showed one onstage, and gave resellers brochures and/or a demo phone to have in the meantime. Then it will go on sale at the end of the month, I suppose.
But at least we'll be getting some answers tomorrow, after all this speculation!!!

There were a lot of things that happened with the first iPhone that the "carrier" would not allow either.
I think Apple is calling the shots with this one. Honestly, they should just be a MVNO. "Apple Wireless" Nice!
No Kidding
You're telling me, this Sunday is going by so slow. I even took a nap to help pass the time.
