You may have already seen it, but there's apparently another (leaked) internal AT&T document floating around the Interwebs today that states, among other things, that the company will not be taking iPhone pre-sales/orders of any kind.
From the memo:
* "iPhone will be available sometime in June. The exact date has not been announced, specific dates should not be provided to customers.
* Sales for the iPhone will be on a first come, first served basis. No wait list of names will be taken and NO pre-selling is allowed.
* Two models of the iPhone will be available, a 4GB will retail at $499 and have an 8GB will retail at $599. If asked what the price will be, answer that the prices have been announced as $499 for the 4G, and $599 for the 8G, respectively. There should NOT be any additional speculation/discussion about pricing."
What's interesting here is that in the absence of pre-orders, we could very well see something akin to a console launch, with scores of giddy fanboys lined up outside of Cingular and Apple stores, all itching to get their fingers on those softly glowing touchscreens.
If that is indeed the case, we will certainly be bringing you all the glory...and the sadness (depending on unit availability).
Of course, there is still no fixed date for the iPhone, despite what certain sites have reported. According to the latest Apple release--the one about Leopard being delayed until October--the iPhone is on schedule for a late June release.
