Iphone or not to Iphone?
On this Friday the 11th of July we are all expecting the numbers to reflect that the newest version of the Iphone to be staggering. A complete sellout on day one. If you are looking for a full review and thought process on the Iphone be sure to listen to our latest show on Gathering Geeks.
I had the opportunity to talk to an AT&T store manager that told me that in a large city here in Massachusetts, he was only getting 25 iphones. He said that most of the product would hit the Apple stores, and I can see that. But, just 25 -50 units per store for a launch day? I find that number hard to believe when Apple is reflecting a huge number of activations. I think that the hype is there, but the drive to switch isn't.
If you have a phone that is under contract with AT&T, would you buy this phone and extend your contract to be one of the hipster geeks with this new device? I would love to see those numbers.
I won't be running out today to get one as an AT&T customer. I have a Blackberry and I am happy that I can let my thumbs do the typing. I will stick with my Ipod and Itunes for my music and mixes, but all the great marketing that Apple does led by Steve Jobs isn't going to get me to take the bait today.
Good luck to all that get one and enjoy it in good health.
