iPhone Pre-Launch Hype Continues
With only 4 days until the iPhone launch, the build up continues.
We are collecting iPhone Questions for early adopters in our active iPhone Forum.
For those unwilling to wait in line for an iPhone on Friday, Craigslist offers ads for people willing to wait in line for you.
CultofMac claims that Apple employees are being a bit free with their iPhones in public, with another photo of an iPhone at use at a party over the weekend.
Per Appleinsider, the first iPhone shipments have reportedly arrived in the U.S. with armed security.
Apple Store security is at an all time high, and there are reports that Apple may prohibit overnight camping and even line formation until later in the day.
Someone posted a Youtube video of the iPhone kiosk at AT&T stores.
Engadget claims to have a 1st hand report: essentially keyboard hard to use, EDGE is slow.

Armed security! :eek: I want to see some price plans first anyway!
I'm with you. The only way they are going to get any kind of crowd on Friday is if the monthly voice/data plan is in the $70 range for the starter 400min, free nights & weekends, unlimited data.
That said, Verizon did turn Apple down based on the terms they were asking for. I haven't seen anything so far that would be a deal breaker, which means that the last Steve Jobs "One more thing..." may just turn out to be an affordable plan rate. After all it's a 2.5g Cingular network. And that can't bring premium pricing over a 3g higher speed networks.
So if comes down to a reasonably priced monthly plan. If a $70-75 / month plan comes out, you will see ALL the complaints of the iPhone disappear.
