iPhone oh yea

[Peacemaker]

So a guy I work with has a friend who runs a cingular (AT&T) store. He called him about getting him and my self each an Iphone at an employee discount. Im waiting for the phone call right now, god I hope I get it. I REALLY hope I get it early. Pics will come if I do.

Wow - a stylish Treo, without any carrier cost subsidies and a big contract commitment.
...
Woohoo?

There won't be a discount on the phone. Apple products have always been exempt from employee discounts at any chain store. I'd expect the full $500. You might get one on the plan?

I wouldn't want an iPhone in the first place. Second, I have better things to waste my money on. $500 plus a three year contract? bull shit.

Exactly! I would rather buy a new sound system for my car or something instead of that.

Two year contract if your getting one, Ive been with cingular for 5 years and am Very happy with the contract. Ill be paying 110 a month for My cell phone, and my brothers which is a Rzr V3 and the unlimited data plan.

The cell phone is discounted rob and so are apple products. I get a discount on apple just for working @ FedEx Ground. The guy who runs the store got his for 200, and my buddy is very good friends with him, Id say I stand a good chance.

Apple does indeed do discounts, they are actually pretty good about that.

The thing with Apple is you can only deal with Apple as they are the only ones that sell these things.

I like it, its a pretty cool device. I'd probably wait for one of the next gen ones though.


Treo's suck balls btw, every Smarthphone I have ever used sucks ass. This one seems user friendly and Apple is good at making things work like they should without the bullshit.

I still havnt gotten a call from him yet. I was hoping for today so I could be an asshole and hold it up infront of my friends I honestly cant wait, Im out of the house for most of the day, it will be nice to take the net with me everywhere.

I wonder how good porn is on it...

[Hamma]

Well if isn't good you can transfer it on from your comp

I'm not too excited about this iphone. I was a while back, now, I think its just like an ipod, fancy features, slick look, but there are way cheaper alternatives that work just as well.

My HTC is win.

[Diviant]

I'm getting one. I'll be lining up sometime tomorrow to wait. Will probably be waiting around 6 or 7 hours, but it'll be fun. Hell, I waited 16.5 for my Xbox 360 and 8 for my Wii.

I just went a got a new phone(2year upgrade I've now got a Samsung SYNC)

People were lined up at the store for an Iphone.

[OneManArmy]

I don't feel the need to carry around something that A: I would probably break, B: would probably get me mugged. C: Is complete overkill.

but then again I never was a tech gadget geek.

[Peacemaker]

OMA you are a redneck. Overkill is what we do

I wouldnt be buying this thing if I wasnt getting it at a discount, and I would have to wait in line. Im not that hyped about it. Im not that hyped about anything. I just cant wait.

And as an update my buddy never called which means either Im getting it tomarrow and hes just gonna wait to tell me at work, or his friend never called him.

[OneManArmy]

I agree but not with phones. I've got an old assed nokia, shit doesn't even flip. Don't care, gets signal everwhere, I've smashed the fuck out of it and still works, about the only thing it does is make phone calls...

best phone ever.

man the cost of the iphone and the 3 year contract... thats a lot of shit I could do to my T/A or Bronco. man....

[Kikinchikin]

I wouldn't blow that kind of money on it. However, I'm also the idiot who paid 150 bucks for a Razr last year after contracting for a 2 year plan after my old bar phone finally died when I went drunk swimming in the ocean with it. To make things worse, I did the exact same thing with the Razr last month and had to blow another 150 to replace it.

I want a water/drunk proof phone next.
