iPhone

Things don't look good for the iPhone.

  1. I call my local cingular store, but the local number plops me into the 1-800 national cingular sales desk and no one can tell me when and where I can get an iPhone on day one.
  2. Since I can't call my local store, I visit it.
  3. me: "Will you guys be getting iPhones on day one?"
    them: "We don't get them until June 29th, they're not for sale right now"
    me: "Yeah, I know, but on June 29th, how many iPhones will you have ready to sell?"
    them: "I don't know"
    me: "Will you have the iPhone on that first day?"
    them: "I don't know"

The manager of the store was standing right next to Ms. I Don't Know and he didn't seem to correct her so I suppose that's official store policy.

To make matters worse, it goes on sale at 6pm.  I was going to camp out somewhere from, say, 5am-9am to see where that'd put me in the line.

But I'm not really thrilled about 12 hours of waiting.

Wow, this Iphone thing must be real good for it to be so popular!
