   Hey Doug with your iPhone on 3.0 do you notise that the battery level is going down very quickly? Because with mine on 3.0 it does. I watched 3 youtube videos and the battery level went down by 15%. i left it in stanby over night and the battery was drained by 25% the next morning. How am I supposed to get the 5 hours of internet use claimed by Apple? Or is it because I have wifi, 3G and push turned on all the time?

   Well, it sounds great, but let’s analyze something… Firebug do changes the HTML code on every page you tell it to do it, but I may guess it only modifies it on your browser… Do you think it would be that easy to modify apple’s store??? What you are doing by modifying the product code is only changing the displying product on the shopping cart, but the script that purchase it is not been changed at all, so if you select, for example, an iPod shuffle, then change the HTML stuff with firebug, you’ll see that you are buying a 32GB iPhone, but what you’re really buying is an iPod shuffle… This is my humble opinion, it might be wrong…

    Did you guys receive the email confirmation after you’ve placed the order? I placed my order too, but I have not received any email confirmation. I called Apple and they said all iphone orders are being on hold for ATT eligibility verification . So I don’t know what would happen on June 19th.

    Apple sells the 3gS at “no commitment: pricing for $599 and $699 to anyone without a 2 year contract. It means you can go to AT&T and activate on a month to month basis. The phone is not activated when you receive it. From what I can tell, you are doing all that just to get what you can get in any Apple store…….??????????

    if you happen to be on oahu, go to chinatown. go from waikiki, down hotel (once in chinatown) and turn left one block past smith. across from “skippy’s” (24 hr convience store) is a little (unlisted in phone book) store called hawaii wireless. they’ll sell you a new phone–but prepwnd. full price. box and all. you can get a tmo contract too. (this is how my friend and i bought 2 phones each).

    why not just buy with contract and then cancel your contract and pay the 200 (199+200=399, etc)? wouldnt that work?

    Dave, if you cancel in the first month you have to return the phone, and if you cancel after the 1st month then you’d have to pay for 2 months of voice & data service and don’t forget the activation fee. so you’re pretty much looking at the same price.
