No iPhone Pre-Sales?

Monday May 14, 2007 2:19 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
BoyGenius publishes an AT&T prelaunch sales brief for the iPhone which details sale policies for the iPhone.

Essentially, the iPhone will be offered for sale as a first-come, first-serve basis, and no pre-sales will be allowed.

As previously known, the iPhone will be available in June but "the exact date has not been announced". The document also reinforces the $499 and $599 prices for the iPhone and instructs employees to not speculate or discuss other pricing possibilties.

I am so confused about the pricing. They announced that the phone will be $499 and $599 with a 2 year contract, but other reports have said that it will cost that much to buy it at the Apple Store without a contract? Is this true. I can't imagine having to pay anything more than $599 for a phone contact or not.. even if it is the jesus phone.

Does anyone have any info?

I think it might be because Apple is going to lower the price a bit... Who knows... :apple::apple::apple:

It will cost $499 / $599 with a contract, no matter where you buy it. As far as we know, Apple won't sell it in their stores (or anywhere else) without a contract.

Well, what if you are already a cingular customer and you want to switch out your phone for an iPhone? It just doesnt make sense

My guess is that supplies are very limited and/or they have no idea how many they will really have for the launch.

I am betting on supplies will be ultra limited, worse then the PS3 launch,

"Your music, Your way"?

What does that mean? Maybe AT&T is sneaking in their own music downloading service to compete with the iTunes service? Why would they even attempt to do that? And why would Apple let it happen?

I really hope AT&T doesn't do anything to the iPhone like what Verizon does to its phones...I guess I should say that I hope Jobs doesn't let them do it.
