iPhone 3G S Launch Sales to Exceed 3G Launch?
UK mobile carrier O2 reveals that by lunchtime, they've already sold more iPhone 3G S handsets than they did during the entire day of the iPhone 3G launch. They expect by the end of the day to have sold 50% more than last year's opening day.
Meanwhile, AppleInsider reveals that AT&T has sold "hundreds of thousands" of iPhone 3G S's ahead of the launch. Based on these numbers, the site also speculates that Apple could easily sell more than a million devices during the first three days.

And this is why AT&T won't be giving you tethering and MMS right away... because they don't have to.
They can do damn near anything they want and people will still flock to the iphone.
But IMO, there actually is a "good" reason to not have tethering and MMS right away... I think AT&T is frantically upgrading their network in advance of yet millions more high-volume 3G data users. I just don't think the network can take the strain of all the 3G S users + tethering + MMS. AT&T knows this and is working to increase capacity, but it takes time.
There is more retail availability this time around.
Maybe in the USA. But it is being launched in only 8 countries this years versus 21 countries on Launch Day for the 3G last year.
Lol, I think EVERYONE forgot about the Palm Pre! LMAO!
I LOVE APPLE!!!!!!! :apple::apple::apple:
Yeah Right! I went to my local at&t store this morning to get my wife the new 3Gs (she can really use the better battery life). I went at 9am and they had signs on the door that said "The line starts here". Went inside and absolutely NO customers and about 10 sales associates... I made a joke about nobody wanting the new iPhone and they just laughed. They only had the 32GB so I ended up going to the local Best Buy and got one. The girl at BB said that I was the first person to buy one. In fact, their system didn't have the SKU number loaded so they had to do a manual override or something... was in there 30 min!
Well, it must be just there, because our Best Buy parking lot was filled up last night, and I just passed by our AT&T flagship store in our city, and it was PACKED...news cameras, etc...
