    Latest rumor: AT&T to start selling 3G iPhone at 8 a.m. on 7/11

    I highly doubt that AT&T would be allowed to start selling the iPhone before Apple stores would, but here's the latest rumor per Boy Genius. I can't recall how reliable Boy Genius has been in the past, but my guess is that this is going to turn out to be untrue...

    Here's hoping BGR has got this one right. Makes much more sense to me to start first thing and hopefully get a lot more iPhones into a lot more of our hot little hands on the day

    I've asked Apple store employees - they told me they don't know if it's going to be a 6:00 pm last time or not. But if AT&T is going to make people activate prior to walking out the door, it'll be a nightmare. They could start at 06:00 and go 18 hours that day and probably not finish with everyone waiting. I wasn't planning on camping out (too old for that crap!) but definitely waiting until the line dies down for as many weeks as that takes. Besides, on a business trip through 7/18 so won't do anything until I get back home afterwards.

    Makes more sense to start early if you have to activate on site, but business doesn't always do what makes sense.

    Absolutely. To boot, this is AT&T we're talking about here

    For a minute, I thought the title read that the 3G iPhone would be sold at 7/11. I'll take the 16GB and a Big Gulp.

    I like the idea of an 8 o'clock a.m. kickoff. Plenty of time to get myself a cup of Starbucks and brave the mall. Should also provide for a fun day here at EIC.

    Wow - talk about a nightmare scenario - buying this at a 7/11 would be hilarious / painful / not do-able I think

    It'd be easier to do coffee runs.

    True that. Still not sold on the overall concept though. Hmmm, wait a sec - actually I'm one of the folks who is aiming to go to an AT&T store rather than Apple - so thinking about it, yeah gimme the 7/11 option
