If this auction is the norm, I don't know why anyone would keep one of these things. 1500 and counting....

This and the people selling spots in line are signs of insanity IMO.

Funny side note. This morning on our local newscast, they showed the obligatory shots of people who had been waiting at the Apple store for a few days, then they showed a shot of a few AT&T stores, no one in line, maybe one or two at the most. LOL.

Re: iPhone on June 29.

Looks like Ebay is flooded with them. You can easily make about 150-250. More and more are going to be on there as the mountain and pacific stores sell. However if these things become scarce you might be able to sell them at twice the cost in the coming weeks. If you don't open the box!!!!

Verizon is taking FOREVER to transfer my number to ATT, so I am just WAITING....



you cant do ANYTHING on the phone until is activated, so it is literally a 600 dollar paperwieght.

I needed to look something up on Verizon's website. It's taking forever and most of the time it doens't load. Either Verizon is being difficult or people are leaving verizon en masse.

Re: iPhone on June 29.

Screw Verizon. I am not happy. Especially watching my friend use his sweet iPhone.


This thing is legit. Its even more impressive when you are actually touching the screen....

Sell it on eBay, then go buy another one and put a down payment on a car.

Seriously. You'll get more than double what you paid for it, you can get another one the next day and make a profit.

Re: iPhone on June 29.

Here's the funny thing guys. Most stores should be getting a second shipment tomorrow at 8(Atleast the store I work at is which is VERY surprising) So if you have an iphone and are considering putting it on ebay. DO NOT!!!! At this point if you haven't already put it on ebay or opened it for the sole purpose to put on ebay take it back to the store and you will not receive a re-stocking fee to my knowledge. I'm expecting shipments to be going into more stores tomorrow. Our store sold 13 and 2 of which were from the area and the other 11 were from people from places such as Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and DC.

Re: iPhone on June 29.

I'm getting one.


Here is how I am justifying the price.


Blackberries cost a couple hundred bucks.

Ipods cost a couple hunderd bucks.

I dont have either. Now I can get all in one, with Apple software running it. Its a no brainer for me.


My number one main concern is battery life.

glass screen isnt a concern either?

the screen isn't like all the other pda's and other phones with big screens?

Glass screens sound kind of easy to crack or scratch.

Well you were 100% correct about the low numbers. Our store got 20. I know stores are different.

thanks for the advice.
