Will you be getting on line for the iPhone 3G?

Asked by crunchaweezy (1733points) July 7th, 2008

I know, another iPhone question. Hate to add on to the tally, but how many flutherites will be getting on line the first day ? (4 days away from now)

I will be, most likely in the front (1–20 in line)

I went to wait from 10am to 6pm for the original iPhone, so why not again?

Tee Hee. Mine will be waiting for me when I get to work on Friday. We sell em. Actually you know what, I’ll probably have mine in my hand on Thursday night. I’m sooooo excited.

Wanna come over for tea, and we can look at it. Anyone? Anyone??

I know where you work osullivanbr :p
(well, sorta, which branch are you in?)

So will the 3G switch to edge or other networks if you don’t have 3G in your area? I have it somewhat, but it is pretty sparse up here in Washington.

stevenb's avatar

That and the extra $10 a month both are reasons why I am undecided about getting one.

ooooohhhhh spooky…

Are you gonna kidnap me

wildflower's avatar

what on earth would I want to do that for? It’s the phone I’m after….
btw, if it’s the patrick st. one, there’s a chance you were the one that messed up my number when I first got mine…..

osullivanbr's avatar

No no. Not the Patrick Street one. Keep guessing.

Do you want me to smack someone across the head for you for that though
Please ask me to smack someone

wildflower's avatar

Hahaha….well, sure, go nuts! While you’re at it, give a whack to those monkeys in the call center who were just guessing until they accidentally fixed the edge issue I had (only took 3 weeks!)

osullivanbr's avatar

You see, guessing is a trade secret. There’s gonna be trouble now that you’ve published it all across the internet. The O2 mafia will be down to get you.

Now where’s that google map gone?

wildflower's avatar

I’m so scared!
and as if I zoomed in that much :p

osullivanbr's avatar

Damn. My evil plan is foiled.

wildflower's avatar

I knew phone companies were evil!!

osullivanbr's avatar

STOP TELLING OUT SECRETS!!!!

wildflower's avatar

Hey you’re the one that let that one slip…..look ^

osullivanbr's avatar

Yeah but everyone was overlooking it until you brought it up again. Oh the wrath of O2 will be upon you.

But c’mere, we’re killing poor crunchaweezy’s thread.

Are you getting an iPhone on Friday?

wildflower's avatar

Nah, I’d have to pay for it if I was…

You mean in line?

I will not. I have an iPod Touch and will wait for someone to jailbreak 2.0 so I can get the App Store applications and games for free.

xxporkxsodaxx's avatar

Well the iPhone isn’t coming out at 6 it’s coming out at 8 a.m.. I am going to be waiting from 7 at a local AT&T store because they’re selling them too, with hopes that the two local Apple stores will attract most of the attention and I will have close to no competition.

@beast, they might require extra setup for the app store, also it’s going to be just like mobile iTunes, downloading is regulated by Apple. And if the maker sets a price then I don’t think you could get around the server with just a jailbroken iPhone.

@xxporkxsodaxx

People will buy the applications, rip them, and release them for free in Installer.

xxporkxsodaxx's avatar

Ah, that makes sense. Or I suppose you could post it up on Pirate Bay and manually install with iFuntastic or something.

Kay's avatar

Don’t forget people, AT&T stores will also be selling the new iPhones and probably won’t have crazy lines/people every where.

crunchaweezy's avatar

I’m gonna go around 5 am to the Apple store in my area.
