Just in case you’ve been trapped in a cave somewhere, Apple is releasing a revolutionary phone called the iPhone at 6pm today.
Folks are camping out everywhere to get their hands on one:
Trendy People @ SOHO Apple Store
Circus Frenzy @ San Francisco Apple Store
Folks waiting for 5+ days @ AT&T Store in Lynchburg, VA.
Need some tips on camping out? ShinyShiny has tips on attending the iPhone launch.
It’s definitely Apple iPhone madness today, and it isn’t like Apple is giving them away for free. Here’s a quick rundown on the cost to own an Apple iPhone over two years (since you must sign a new contract with At&T to own one):
Apple iPhone 4GB version: $499.00
AT&T voice 450 minutes/mos.: $1439.76
AT&T data: $480.00
Total w/2 year contract: $2418.76 plus tax
Tami’s picking up one today, and we’ll let you know if it’s worth it or not. Luckily, Kineda has the inside hookup for the Apple iPhone so we definitely won’t be waiting in those crowded lines for one!
I want the iPhone sooooo badly but it’s just a bit too much for my blood right now. :(
Say, if by any chance you guys don’t want the iPhone and/or are done analyzing every single detail, you could give it to me!!
To me, it seems like its not worth all the hype. I’m sure it does have its nice features though.
I’m going to try and get one this weekend. Hopefully, they won’t sell out. *crossing fingers*
did your calculations include phone taxes? i hate those so much, averages about $10 for my $40 plan each month…
i will wait until the price drop, just like the PS3
I want one, but I’m not gonna camp outside for it. I’ll just wait til the buzz dies down and then I’ll stroll into the Apple store and pick one up. :)
Wow, when i baught my phone, it costed more than an iphone > >, i dislike the iphone for the fact that it doesnt look like a phone.

[...] Apple iPhone, but it hasn’t been a great experience so far. Luckily, I didn’t have to stand in any lines to get it or I would have shot [...]
i want oneeeeeeee
but it is too much for my blood
The iPhone looks PHAT.
“Total w/2 year contract: $2418.76 plus tax” Not even in a million years. If it was a one time year payment, then I would reconsider taking that beast on.
THE GOD OF ALL GADGETS HAS COME TO SAVE US ALL.
