When do YOU think the new iPhone will be available?

I'd bet good money on June 10.

They've been out of stock of the older ones for weeks so it is unlikely that there will be any further delay.

Also, aside from the 10th being Tuesday - classic retail and Apple "lay down" day - it's the day after they are all but certainly going to be announced. It's very unlikely that you'll see them on the 9th as the logistics of getting them 'sell-able' isn't as easy as adding it to the menu. Stores will need to close, setup and prepare for the major line.

The release of major new OS upgrades even involved shutting down stores for a few hours to prepare for their availability. The iPhone will probably be no different. I vote Tuesday.

Very nice point. I also think Thurday's the day!
But looking from the other point of it...it's a bit of a guess here

My friend who just started working at the apple store said that they have a ton of people scheduled for June 9th. This could mean that they will go on sale that Monday or it could mean absolutely nothing. But there is an abnormally large amount of people scheduled to work on Monday so cross your fingers.

Could be extra people scheduled for overnight stocking and display setup for Tuesday the 10th sell date.

AT&T staff will be unable to book vacations between June 15th and July 12th due to the resource demands of the unnamed event.

Oops voted for June 15th without looking at Calendar. 15th is Sunday. Maybe a day to set up display (or maybe they get to work extra early for release)? Maybe Monday June 16? (voted for June 15 though).

I voted the 13th

I think the following Friday will be a great time for a release

who in their right mind would release the phone that day when they could announce it a week out to get all the tv coverage and hype? Build the anticipation with real information?

I'd love for it to be avail. Monday but I'm going to give it a few days to a week. At least Friday?

IDK - Am I wrong in my thinking?

A random punt, as i'm not too serious about when, just to find out more about it. Let's say the new Australian store will have them by opening time.
