Carlos Slim is stoked!
Did he sign up for the iPhone in Mexico? I lost track what service will.
I went pre-paid for a year in preparation for this moment.
Now THAT was clever of you.
ROFL.
Apple has been out of iPhones for weeks; it can't afford to delay the announcement of the next generation iPhone any longer, or it will risk losing substantial sales.
ATT stinks
I've said it before here, but ATT is absolutely the worst carrier I've ever had. I've been with all of the 4 major carriers here in the US. By far, ATT/Cingular had the worst customer service. They were rude and not very competent. And they tried sticking me with a $1395 data transfer charge that I never made (my phone log confirmed it and so did one of their techs).
I'm with Sprint now. They do screw up my bill a lot and their CSRs are sometimes barely able to speak English and understand what you are saying to them. But, they always fix the mistakes and their CSRs are at least friendly and they try to do the best they can.
I also prefer CDMA for voice quality and the soft-handoffs between towers, much better data coverage and speeds in my area too. YMMV, but based on my personal experience and those of many of my co-workers that got ATT/Cingular, I would never recommend them to anyone else.
That said, yes, I will be waiting a very long time to buy an iPhone... unless VOIP with Vonage is a possibility in the future and activation thru ATT is not required.

That's terrible; well time to get the N96. BTW I dropped my N95 down a flight of stairs 3 times and it didn't have as much as a scratch.
So now you want an iPhone to break? Get a case for it!
I didn't break it.
Stop it.
You're like the rest of them.
Saying I break everything.
I didnt mean anything bad... but it made you excited, raunchy?
Well, I haven't 'peed myself' like several posters have mentioned - and I am sure I wouldn't be the first Apple fanboi to 'get excited' around all things Steve (not that I am...
)Following up on the stock price posts, not sure what to make of it - if Apple 'under-delivers' against what is 'expected' I think the stock will take a hit down to $170. The hype is getting too strong and the Street will no doubt be expecting Apple to live up to it.
unfreakinbelievable
WILL YOU GUYS PLEASE SLOW THE HELL DOWN WITH THE TREAD REPLIES?!!
You have no idea how hard it is to keep up on my painfully slow 8GB EDGE-enabled iPhone!!! Everytime I finally get to bottom of what initially appeared to be the last page...3 MORE FRICKIN' PAGES HAVE BEEN ADDED!!!
Seriously...I'm rushing home as I type to fire up the ol' MacBook in time for the keynote!!

Prayer on Eve of New iPhone
Father,
We give thanks of this eve of iPhone 2.0 release.
For a year now we've stood steadfast,
Resisted smug advertising and sleek packaging,
Refrained from tasting precious fruit from thine forbidden tree,
On this most holy of holy days, we humbly ask of thee,
Deliver us our daily spam with 3G connectivity
Deliver us 2 girls 1 cup with mobile Flash ability.
Grant us video-conferencing for humble Powerbook hath none.
Let it ring from mountain top with Trick Dadddy ringtone mp3.
Let it cut & paste our songs of praise and prayer, emails and sms.
Continue to guide our hearts and minds, but now with proper GPS.
May reception be strong and ample.
May it not cost arms nor legs.
Amen.

Yes, please, even if it is Rogers...
What am I saying, I'm already on Rogers...
Anyone know if Koodo is GSM?
Spotted in the wild
Ok - just caught a glimpse of a black glossy iphone in the wild on the E train in NYC.
Unfortunately, I do not have an image to back this up, but it indeed sported a black glossy casing with a noticeably larger lcd screen. Front aluminum trimming was gone as it was all black.
Just wanted to share this with everyone!

I've had ATT for a few years now, ever since I picked up my first cell phone. It's worked fine for me. Of course, it's nice that all my family and friends also have ATT, so I never use minutes calling them, and one of my friends works at an ATT store, so I kind of have my own personal ATT customer service guy
Nope, Apple was pi**ed at LG for their iPhone ripoff Vu, so they're going to stick it to LG with the new OS X-enabled iFridge.
