I'll believe it when I see it.

Always wait for the second version of an Apple product.

iDon't Care

This is going to be essentially un-scalpable/un-eBayable, right? Since it's only available at its advertised price with a two-year contract, and there's no use for one without a contract anyway, I shouldn't be making plans to buy for $500 and eBay for $1800. Right?

iPhone not really option for me...
price
battery life
hd space
rather wait for and iPod with same media capabilities but without phone or other internet options...

You can buy a phone and ipod separately for less than buying them together.

Here's the video from On The Money:

I called Verizon the other day and put them on notice that I was unhappy with the way they crippled my RAZR on the last firmware upgrade (my phone Calendar no longer syncs toiCal).

They are obviously frightened by the release of this product, as they offered me many perks including free minutes and also "you qualify for a 'special' upgrade on your equipment." Riiiiight.

If you're on VZW, call them up and let them know about how much you're thinking about going to Cingular just for the iPhone. It makes their corporate heads buy lots of antacid.

must be about Cisco iPhone.

Apple is known for being backlogged. Even their iSocks were backordered 4 months

I believe that when they announced the goddamn thing they said late june, so...what the ***** is so special about this?

I'm getting one. And it will be a hit. If you think it won't you're just fooling yourself.

I will buy one by the time that no one else wants them, like the palm treo 650 i can finally afford =)

Wow wow wow... the Apple hataz are in full force today.

Bah iPhone!

The real up & coming breakthroughs are going to be in smoke signals

I like to buy 'First Gen' products and if the iPhone turns out to have no bugs at all and lives up to the hype for quite some time, then I would go for one..

if this is true, june 20th is going to be an awesome day overall...iphone comes out and i graduate YES
but i doubt it will happen...i would think apple would announce something by now if it were true.

And to think that everyone here complains about Microsoft's monopolistic strategies. I can't remember for sure(yes I can) but wasn't AT&T something even more monopolistic. ha ha whats good for the goose here on digg is not always good for the gander.

They said DRM free music in iTunes in May too, and they are cutting it close. But I guess since there has to be physical shipment and coordination between stores for the iPhone, a hard date like June 20th might actually stick. But until Apple actually releases a statement...

I doubt this thing will have bugs. They pulled software engineers from the OS team and Jobs and 3 others was personally using/testing it for more than 6 months.

Pointless comment:
That's my birthday. Not that I'll ever be able to afford an iPhone.

Cool, not long till I can laugh at people for spending loads of money on a phone that looks good but doesn't do quarter the things that mine does

There is a little known company to the U.S. named Meizu who managed to make one hell of a similar device called the m8 / minione in short order. Overseas it will be a phone, but they have stated they are stripping the phone function in the U.S. Hopefully it will get replaced with something decent. Still a marvel.

They also make the m6 which pretty much blows away the iPods. I'm no schill for them and they get bagged on for "ripping off" Apple, but honestly their products are amazing, feature rich, high quality, and work on every OS. They're worth a look, they just updated the m6 which is coming out soon in the U.S.

FWIW

2 year contract and $350 ... nice but no thanks.

hdtvdust - your inability to grasp the fundamentals of supply and demand seem to portray you as the moron. If Apple underproduces for an assumed market size, regardless of how big or small, if the number of first wave buyers exceeds production there won't be any phones available until the production catches up.

My guess is that if you'd been using the long list of crap phones that were advertised to do most of the things iPhone is touted as doing, you'd be chasing the wind with cash in hand as well. Whether I like it or not, being accessible makes or breaks multimillion dollar deals. Since it's my company and the profits land in my pocket, I'll risk your assertion that this means being a fanboy in exchange for retiring at the same age you wind up finish making payments on your 85 Yugo.

Camping now.

Does anyone know if Safari on the iPhone will render Gmail/Gcal correctly as well as playback YouTube videos?

Who the ***** cares..? Oddly enough, everyone does.

Thats not a Tuesday... What gives..

I hope it's released in the uk then aswell!

I see the timeline as this. If the rumor is true and it will be officially released on June 20th, this is the scenario. Jobs will give his keynote at WWDC and say you can order your iPhone right now on Apple.com and it will ship when it ships to retail locations a week from now, then everybody goes absolutely ape. So online orders will get to people the exact same time they hit stores, thats around the same time when the Apple.com server gets completely bombarded. Thats how I see it going down

Jobs will announce it at WWDC, you will order it and get a shipping date for 1/20/08.

Hopefully the new (whenever the hell it's released) iPod will have the same form factor with more storage. iPhone? meh, even for an Apple user for 20 years I'm not drinking this Kool-aid

I have a good feeling that apple will make a handheld product like the iphone but without the phone features so that people who dont use atnt will buy it. The concept is a great idea they're going to capitalize on it.

Capture the event as an important moment in the history of the internet.
