I think that the news about apples "brillant" selling out of iphones to build hype was a crock, 2 months of no iphones sold? Horrible and badly planned move.

I want my iphone!!

except that's not why they stopped selling them. They stopped selling them because they stopped making them. They stopped making them because they started making the 3G model... pretty simple if you ask me.

Yeah, that's a no-brainer, there. Although maybe they should have tested the waters a bit and made a few more of the 1st gen iPhones to see if they would still sell. I see a lot of people on here that say they would prefer the old one over the new one. Who knows.

i think the reason for that is because the v2 is now subsidized, so it would be weird for ATT and Apple to sell a version that isn't subsidized along with one that is.

Ya, let me see, 300 profit on each iphone (X) that they didnt sell, lost for two months?

300(X)=how many millions of PROFIT that apple has lost because of poor planning, etc etc. Look at the Wii shortage which equals millions of potential PROFIT lost.

dude... think about it. Iphone1 and iphone2 are virtually identical, so Apple is probably using the SAME FACILITIES to manufacture the new iphone... which is going to sell like GANGBUSTERS because it is now subsidized, which means they had to build up a HUGE supply, which means they needed to start production a WHILE ago. Instead of building up a surplus of v1s that they would have had to sell at a ridiculous loss OR completely trash, they decided to err on the low side, and save enough refurbs for warranty replacements.

And whaddya wanna bet the people that haven't been able to buy an iphone in the last two months are HAPPY that they didn't now that the v2 is coming (and will purchase it ASAP)? An overwhelming majority, methinks.
