So the new iphone came out today....

[gtikid]

And customers went crazy wanting to buy this thing. So I decide to go on ebay and check out if anyone is selling one already. Sure enough, someone was. I looked at the location and it was Berkeley Lake, GA, right here in Duluth. Then, the guy posts his phone # if anyone has any questions. So we look up his phone # and yup, he purchased it from our store for $299 from one of my coworkers, we still have the original receipt here haha.

It's amazing how much this guy is getting for this thing.

Over a damn phone..... :thinking:

[jwrape]

We have a network freeze here because of that stupid thing. Funny thing is, althought we have a freeze the network is having all sorts of proplems totally un-related to the Iphone deployment. LOL!

My Brother in law works at the Apple store in the Mall and said it is crazy. When he left around 5pm it was still 200+ around the corner waiting. Said it took an hour per activation and apples server went down every hour on the hour. :crazy:

100% waste of money IMO.

[AnthonyF]

-Ant.

[OTG Signs]

There was about 60 people in line at MoG at noon!

well someone is not doing there job right at your store, you're suppose to unwrap the iphone before u give it back to the customer.

[_Christian_]

My work is having a pool for the new iphone. Everyone pitches in $15 for 3 guesses at the number of sales for the weekend. Winner gets the $$$ + iphone. Obviously the sales will be ^^^ since the new iphone is more reasonably priced. Pretty soon, every1 and their grandma will have one...kinda like the razor.

[tdurr]

^^ smart idea...
and DAMN i should have got in line to get a new I-phone and put it on ebay..

[csmiths]

uh absolutly, i love mine, email, weather, music, and internet all in one pocket is enough for me. as long as you arent clumsy with your phones, then its straight. plus you can get phone numbers to anything really quick. DEF recommend.

No point in doing that since itunes crapped out again like it did last year.

Why are people such idiots?

blackberry > iphone all day. Having to run your phone through Itunes is ****ing stupid.

[TIGERJC]

I guess you didn't get the email from the district manager

[The BUCKY]

so is the new one worth getting?

[JDMJAYDC2]

not unless you crap money pick up yesterdays ajc gives a 2 week review of the phone and from me skimming through it says you have to pay for all the downloads so its like a pay phone i say wait for the clones to drop lol

[willum14pb]

so is the new one worth getting?

I mean.. what do you want it for? A blackberry is the most usefull phone you can buy. And it doesn't run off Itunes or anything mac related, making it FTW.

[The BUCKY]

i have been using blackberry for awhile. mainly pearls is the curve better?

[JConner]

i was one of those idiots who camped out along with my buddy Jimmie. I love it, btw ive got a v.1 for sale if anyone wants it. $140 comes with box, charger and manuals. I have even installed the new software on it. It has one small dent in it but otherwise it works perfectly.

[willum14pb]

i have been using blackberry for awhile. mainly pearls is the curve better?

curve is MUCH better.. bigger screen, crisper pictures, less bugs, better camer, full qwerty keyboard. I just love the functionality. It's great. Never lets me down, and it gets service.. EVERYWHERE.

[EJ25RUN]

Im really glad the Iphone came out when it did. It helped me get my BlackBerry Curve for a great deal.

edit - I only read the first post, i guess the blackberry army is already here "represent guys!"

[The BUCKY]

guess i am gonna get a curve then.

[gtikid]

I guess you didn't get the email from the district manager

Who gives a fuck what Heidi or Gerrard say. Were they gonna be able to process the activation through itunes and unbrick the phone? No. So I wasn't really concerned with what they had to say. I was just trying to push as many out as I could. I wasn't gonna worry about unbricking someone's phone here when they could do the same process at home

[EJ25RUN]

guess i am gonna get a curve then.

i live off of it, im surprised out how useful it is, for one all my IA PM go directly to it and i dont even have to use a computer to respond immediatly.

[gtikid]

so is the new one worth getting?

It's definitely worth getting. The internet speed on the 3g Iphone is comparable to DSL speeds, and it's by far the best internet browsing phone out.

Are you more concerned with getting your emails instantly, or what exactly are you trying to do with it?

[The BUCKY]

well i have pearl. i live off it already. email and internet(slow as hell tmobile) especially

[jwrape]

There was about 60 people in line at MoG at noon!

My brother said there was still 200 left standing out of the store at the MoG when he left at 8pm:goodjob:

[The BUCKY]

is the curve 3g

[toxxxic]

why in the HELL would anyone pay 2500 dollars for a facking iphone?!

what is retail on these things?

[gtikid]

well i have pearl. i live off it already. email and internet(slow as hell tmobile) especially

The curve is not 3g.

Do you need to get your emails as soon as they hit the inbox? Or do you check'em every few minutes/hours or so? If you don't absolutely NEED your emails right then and there, then you can get away from the Blackberry's. Blackberry's are good devices and are very reliable and are by FAR the best emailing machines. But their lack of internet speed and basic internet browser suck.

Give the iphone a try man, you got 30 days to return/exchange it.

[The BUCKY]

what store do you work at? get on aim

[gtikid]

what store do you work at? get on aim

I'm at the store off Pleasant Hill behind the BP. Lemme get on aim from my phone, so it might be delayed a little

If you install OPERA on your blackberry it makes it very similar to browse the web like the iphone. And as far as inet speed it's no different than any iphone i've used. It picks up signal much better than any other phone i've used too. In places where my friends don't get service on their Iphone my blackberry has mad barsssss. However the CURVE is NOT 3G as stated before.

The internet speed on the old iphone was gaaaaarbage. That thing was so slow, which is why I wasn't too big of a fan of it. I put the 3g Iphone next to an old Iphone and pulled up honda-tech on both of them at the same time, and the 3g Iphone loaded it up in about 6-7 seconds while it took the older one close to 2 minutes to pull it up :no: And now with being able download 3rd part apps makes it a funner phone as well. I'd never pay for those apps though, they're damn expensive! But there's always ways to get them for free :yes:

[The BUCKY]

well i have opera on my pearl but its still balls slow. what about the blackjack or pantech duo

[The BUCKY]

do you guys have an iphone left?

[gtikid]

well i have opera on my pearl but its still balls slow. what about the blackjack or pantech duo

The Blackjack 2 is a pretty good phone, but the Pantech Duo is TERRRRRRRRRIBLE. Man that's the worst phone ever made. No joke, out of 10 that i've sold, 9 have gotten return b/c it's slow, it freezes, and just straight out sucks.

For the price of the BJ2, you might as well get you an iphone. Your actually gonna pay a little more for the BJ2 than the Iphone and it'll still lack a few of the friendly/"cool" features that the iphone has.

I love Windows Mobile Devices, but the 3g iphone is really impressive

[gtikid]

do you guys have an iphone left?

We had 110 yesterday and sold out in a couple hours. We had 70 this morning, and sold out in a couple hours haha. These things are on high demand! We'll get some more in throughout the week. We got some demo's you can play with and then i'll see about holding one

[The BUCKY]

lol do you ahve to pay upfront or can it be put on the first bill?

[The BUCKY]

i would actually need 2 prob and get one of the family plans

[The BUCKY]

oh and the refurb blackjack is only 60

[Me86Rob]

i have a palm centro, and its like, 100000 times better than the iPhone. i DO have an iPod touch however, and im in the process of converting it to be used as a phone in wifi hotspots. i think thats much more efficient

[gtikid]

We don't bill to the account anymore, so it'd have to be paid at the store. The only thing is that you'll HAVE to have the data package on each iphone that you get, which is $30/phone plus your family plan

[gtikid]

Palm Centro is a nice little phone, but it does not compare to the iphone at all. Palm hasn't put out anything good in a while

[Me86Rob]

well it makes calls, surfs the net, takes pictures, and withstands the constant Kool-aid abbuse i put it through. besides, its a small step up from my last cell phone

[gtikid]

Hah, I was talking to my Palm rep and he was telling me that it's their most durable phone. They put it through like 800+ hours of durability testing.

[ironchef]

Did you make sure all the phones had batteries? :D:lmfao:

oh i thought that was all included. damnit. lol guess i am just gonna get a refurb curve or black jack cause they are so cheap right now

[DecoyOctopus]

i phone=bling factor

this is a real phone

if any of you have ever owned this phone you know that it is indestructable. plus you could get different faceplates for like 7 bucks at discover mills if you dropped it and scuffed it up.

[gtikid]

Did you make sure all the phones had batteries? :D:lmfao:

:lmfao: Luckily they're integrated. I'll never lose a battery again! :D

[Me86Rob]

i used to have that nokia. i miss the catchy ringtones:(

[TIGERJC]

Who gives a fuck what Heidi or Gerrard say. Were they gonna be able to process the activation through itunes and unbrick the phone? No. So I wasn't really concerned with what they had to say. I was just trying to push as many out as I could. I wasn't gonna worry about unbricking someone's phone here when they could do the same process at home
I only unbrick 1 phone during the launch, but I still put the non working iphone in each customers hand (opened)

[willum14pb]

The curve is not 3g.




I hope you don't go telling your customers that. The CURVE IS a 3G phone. I work for a company that pretty much runs your network and i do subscriber pushes and we can ONLY push 3G phones. When i look up my MSISDN in CARD ( if you know what that is ) it clearly shows my phone is 3G. and i own a curve. Please GET YA FACTS STRAIGHT PLAYA.
