Apple: iPhone News and Discussion Thread
I was shopping with my mom earlier today, and noticed huge line at local apple store. I figured new iphone 3g came out today.
I also heard that phone wasn't working? Is this issue fixed or still going on?

damn i didn't know the price was with activation. "early upgrade" price is like $399/$499 and non commitment price is like $599/$699. I guess that is about the same price as the old one. I wonder if I can "early upgrade" even though I just upgraded like 2 months ago.

I don't know why but I rarely get excited about cell phones. Maybe because I drop my phone too much. 
I would break the new iphone within one week for sure.

Woke up at 7, got there are like 7:10 (ATT store).
There were like 25-30 people in front of me and 10 employees. So it took like till 8:35 to get it. Went home, took 10 minutes to activate, went about my day.
I don't get the people who go to an apple store, the att stores were so much less crowded. I went to an apple store to get a screen cover and there were like 10 security guards and ropes marking everywhere off.

I already had one of the first 10 1G in Canada so I have my exclusivity. Now to figure out wth to do with it, sell it?, or keep it for the car?

Why the hell they sell new iphone 3g for $200? Even some crappy ass phone goes for $200.

So in reality you will have a "new" contract...but it is just 2 years from the time you purchase the new iPhone. It does not extend 2 years beyond your current contract. You can think of it as if they cancel your old contract when you sign a "new" 2-year contract.

Your contract will just go back to 2 years from the date of your new phone purchase. In order to get the 3G however, your plan will cost an additional $10 per month.

Got mine yesterday. Went to an apple store at 6:30am with hubby and sister. We waited until 8am. We were probably 80 or so people in. By 8am the line was around the market plaza (imagine a U shaped plaza) area. Took me until 2pm-ish to get into the door. Luckily they handed water constantly and then people from whole foods came and gave us other stuff (tea). They mentioned itunes wasn't activating the phones.
I got lunch and then went home without fully activating it. Came home and connected it to itunes and it worked the first time.
I'm happy. Husband and I both got white 16gb phones.

WOW! That hurt looking at the iphone all blended up.
He's probably a dumbass, but I'm sure he can slap $100 bills at your face all day long.
