iPhone line begins 7 days before launch!

The iPhone 2.0 Party has BEGUN!

People are now starting to line up for the biggest innovation event in
human history! Records will be broken as Apple continues to modernize
the obsolete Cell Phone industry.

ENGADGET:

iPhone 3G lines start at the Apple Cube

So we heard some really over-eager folks have decided to get a jump on
the iPhone 3G line -- a really, really big jump. Obviously, we had to
head down and see if it was true... and it is.

Right now, about ten people have started a line outside of Apple's
flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York. Word is that the family at the
head of the queue are attempting to break some kind of record which
involves their baby -- which kind of sounds a little intense if you ask
us. On the other hand, you didn't hear Greg Packer complaining, right?
We're going to wrangle some of these cats for an interview and video, so
stay tuned! For right now, check some more pics after the break.

I only post news of interest to everyone, if you don't like it, leave
the group.

It's obviously very exciting that world is about to see the first
universal phone, and FINALLY with the most applications people can
actually use.

This is a milestone event for everyone that owns a cell phone. Ness,
you'll get an iphone soon enough, don't worry!

The iPhone application base as of today is 1,886, and on launch day it
will be over 4,000... I as you, can't wait to get rid of all those
obsolete Symbian, Blackberry, WinMobile devices! And once they are gone
and true opensource on the iPhone reigns, the world will be a better
place!

When FCC held public meetings Comcast didn't want the public to attend,
Comcast hired "Seat Warmers" to occupy all the seats in the meeting hall to
prevent the general public, fed up with Comcrap and its attitude, from
attending and expressing their views to the Commission.

......One wonders how many seat warmers Apple may have hired to stand in
line outside major Apple stores as advertising gimmicks for the new
FruitFone, making it look to the most stupid and naive public driving by
that there is huge demand for a $600 sellphone toy that doesn't really do
anything except eat money.

Sure would love to get a look inside that Apple store's accounting programs
to see what they're charging it to.....(c;

Wonder how many babies will be conceived in line this time??

Now THERE's a "legacy" to pass on to the next generation!

Thousands of babies were conceived in 1969 at the BIGGEST line
ever....Woodstock.....mostly at the porta potties.

I was there........I think.....(c;

You are not able to provide any evidence to back this statement up.
Therefore, you should leave the group.

A Blackberry?

Not according to you. You said the majority of application you saw were
advanced medical and engineering apps.

The only milestone will be the collective yawn and the new fire sale
mentality Apple takes after the inital hoopla is over.

ah, larry, apple hasn't spent a single "cent" on seat warmers in all of
its 32 year history. the enthusiasm comes from one place, and one place
only...

great products!

sounds like you are jealous of someone having a vastly better products
than what Nokia can come up with.

Nobody disputes that Apple has the best cell phones, it's only people
like you that are bitter that the "old cell" world is collapsing, being
"ENTIRELY" remade by Apple into a more positive image for everyone
involved.

you'll get an iPhone soon enough! so don't worry!

What about the rest of the post, Oxtard? You said, "I only post news of
interest to everyone."

You do not. You lied.

Don't post unless you are factual.

Mindless obedience to "think different" just like Apple tells you?

Oh, so close!

You couldn't pay me to own a Nokia until they take some basic UI design
lessons.

I do.

Entirely remade?

Oh, like the revenue sharing? Or the limited choice in plans? Or the
"active at home" scheme?

I found this disturbing as a small AT&T branch store told me
yesterday they expect to be sold out by 10 AM.

They only were getting 40 iPhones for July 11 at their little
location.

AT&T will sell to volume buyers who are buying five or more from major
corporations starting at 5:30 AM so I expect some main AT&T stores to
be sold out before the darn doors even open to the general public.

Those people in NY may be standing in line in vain.

No interest to me or lots of folks I know.

What is really sad is how someone can let a device define their life.
Your knees may get wobbly when you think about iphones but I can assure
you there are lots of normal folks who are not fanbois who really don't
care about iphones. You really only make yourself look juvenile and
clueless like a teenage girl obsessed over some rock star.

It Only Looks Like an iPhone


By Rob Pegoraro
Thursday, July 3, 2008; Page D01

So many people are lining up to buy a new touch-screen wireless phone
that the carrier selling it can't keep up with demand.

No, not that one.

The popularity of Sprint Nextel's Samsung Instinct -- the company says
its first-week sales beat those of all its other broadband-capable
phones -- represents a bit of a puzzler.

The Instinct comes with a long inventory of added capabilities: Web
browsing, e-mail, text/picture/video messaging, digital music and
video playback, photography and video recording, GPS navigation and so
on. But it fumbles most of these more ambitious tasks.

Start with its on-screen keyboard, which offers neither effective
*****-checking nor tactile feedback, ensuring plenty of typos.

The Instinct also doesn't make enough use of its mobile broadband
Internet access (limited to Sprint's coverage, as the Instinct lacks a
WiFi receiver). Its Web browser struggles as much with full-size sites
as the antiquated software on Palm OS phones, taking an irritatingly
long time to display some of them. Its e-mail software ignores Web
formatting in messages and can't read PDF attachments, one of the most
common kinds of files to arrive in a message.

Then he goes on to say in a nice way that the Sprint Instinct suffers
compared to...
"The other is choice. The iPhone is an amazing machine --"

Well Rob there goes that Sprint's advertising account in the
Washington Post... but we appreciate an honest review.
