iPhone 3G goes on sale at AT&T retail stores at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, July 11. Our fancy algorithm says this stuff is related...Wednesday, July 02, 2008A little expensive, but I might manage. I just hope that they are smart enough to ship a lot of phones to At&t stores. I'm not going to be happy if I wait in a long line just so don't get the phone.

That brings Apple to some 7 million iPhones sold since the original model's launch last June, which puts them right on track... iPhone 3G: Hands on With iPhone 3GAfter a long, unsuccessful day of trying yesterday, I headed back out this morning at 7:45 to try once more to secure an iPhone 3G. I got to the Bay Street shopping center in Emeryville, CA around 8 or so, and there was already a long line at the Apple Store - my best estimate had me staring at a 3 or 4 hour wait, minimum. Then I remembered that there's also an AT&T retail outlet in that mall. So I walked down there and... Waiting: Free Pizza but No iPhone YetSo honestly this whole iPhone launch thing sucks.

The Apple employees are passing out free pizza and burritos now, which is nice and all, but how about a purchase and activation process that doesn't suck? That'd be cool, right, not to have...

Noah Heads to Apple StoreWell, I waited in line at the AT&T store in Berkeley and before I got to the front they ran out of iPhones to sell. They're taking orders, and "may have more tomorrow" but that doesn't help me, right?So I'm off to the Apple Store Bay Street in Emeryville, CA. I called and a nice Apple salesperson named David told me that they have iPhones in stock, but there is still a long line. Is it worth my getting in line, I... iBrick: Apple Servers Go Down, Leave Customers With Shiny New Useless iPhonesIt's madness out there. Stay home and protect your loved ones.
