June 29th - AT 6PM??!!

[ArtGuy]

Steve just announced the date (again) and time..
6PM???

Huh????

[MadDog31]

I'm confused also...and this puts a huge dent in some plans.

[ArtGuy]

Well he apparently said "he believes" at 6pm. this could be a reason/excuse to have "special event" status applied at ATTingular and Apple stores. Can you imagine how INSANE it will be if people start lining up at Apple Stores first thing in the morning??

i think he just ruined everyone's plans

[MadDog31]

Man, I really can't believe the 6pm thing. I mean, well...whatever I guess but dammit, that REALLY throws a dent in my plans.

Plus the lines are going piss off all the businesses next door to Apple and At&t stores all afternoon long. I don't understand that.

some of you guys are way too uptight about this. first you wanted a release date.. now you want a release hour..? there isnt going to be a guy in a brown UPS suit show up at EVERY vendor with a box of iPhones right at 6PM simultaneously. If you really want one then you can most likely count on having your phone on June 29th or June 30th at the latest.. There's no use busting a blood vessel and having an aneurysm over a few hours.. Don't you have anything else to live for?

The point is - some sort of organized announcement should be given to the poor unwashed masses who actually want to buy one of these things. I really don't plan on losing any sleep over this. I just hope to avoid an all out mess when I go to pick mine up. It would be nice to think you might actually be able to ask some questions etc.. without the feeling that an angry mob is standing outside

I just called MY local ATTingular store and the dude there told me they will get them most likely the 28th in the afternoon. He told me (insert slight amount of doubt here) that he'd be happy to call me when he found out when they would be in-store, and we can go from there.

I think that Apple stores will end up in an extremely "carnival like" atmosphere which will of course make those passing by wonder what's up with the Apple people (again) but might make it tough to purchase and activate your new iPhone.

I'm looking forward to coming back from vacation, getting a couple of iPhones, and having some fun!
