Well as we draw nearer to WWDC 08, 3G iPhone rumors and news is flying around everywhere.
It is all very exciting to the iPhone users around the world, especially in Australia, where we have been intensely awaiting the arrival of a legitimate iPhone, with our carriers.
Apple resellers all around australia have reportedly received suspicious boxes stating: “DO NOT OPEN UNTIL TUESDAY JUNE 10TH 2008“. We can only speculate on what it is, but it is said that it most probably is the 3G iPhone for demo and showing off purposes.
It is all very exciting and I personally am looking forward to the release of it and to see what apple brings to us now.
Thanks to MacTalk

Damn, tuesday?

Can someone lend me a few hundred dollars until next week?
I would say that this is the media pack or the information pack for the iPhone before the release.
Stuff like carboard cutouts and dummy phone to entice people in to getting one on pre-order.
i would expect some sort of training material for the sales staff to be included and even details of what plan(s) and what price will be on and off contract.
if the iPhone is a end of the month release then you would want to pre-order one ASAP as i would expect them to sell out in the first week (or day even) and then there being a delay of 2 - 4 week until more stock arrives.
Good luck all. see you in the queues
knowing apple i doubt they will run out of iphones , im sure they have a stockpile of them over east so even if we do run out of them it will only be 1-2days till it gets here.
(bring your trolley poles, you all gawn get jumped :P)
The Australian online Apple Store went offline at 12.10am Tuesday 10th June. It left us with “We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly”.
I dare say this is the new iPhone and perhaps Macbook Pro.
This notice comes with any visit to the stores that will be stocking the iPhone when the next version is released too!
Well the iPhone 3g was announced at 11:32 am us time (4:32am AET), comes with GPS through Google Maps, new sleek design and cheaper price ($199us for the 8gb version and $299us for the 16gb).
Release date is 11th june in 22 countries but i don’t know if australia is one of them (still spamming the australian apple online store)
if all goes well we may have a iPhone by wednesday
My bad, make that July 11. just over a month before we see it

Can anyone who works at a resseller actually confirm that the iphone 3g is in Australia (Doesn’t make much difference but if the phones aren’t here yet it means the box has smething else in it)
i think they are just displaying it there… im not sure but the guys at our forums should know for sure… hes goin to visit there for a few months and he said he wont be able to get one till he gets back to the uk…

Apparently it was a hoax.
