True.
Both CEO's are going to hold hands and jump into the water together.

Hi Guys,
Just went to my local Optus store (to get a pre-paid sim to tide me over until 11/07) and the guy behind the counter had just recevied his iphone "training".
His goss was no plans until 11/07, no stock details until 11/07, armoured car delivery - it's all full on.
You can take it all with a grain of salt if you want but I think customer relations is starting to suffer under the need to "build the hype".
BTW, trying to activate my mobile on Optus was annoyingly hard and don't bother trying to call Optus help becasue they have one of those annoying voice recognition system which SUCKS!
I think I will end up with someone else.
-Dan

Plans will be out before then, I'm sure.
What I'm concerned with is: multiple outlets are reporting that iTunes 7.7 (which will be required to activate the 3G iPhone), firmware 2.0 and the App Store are all coming July 11. But plenty of us are planning to get new iPhones as early as possible - either at 7am July 11 (2pm July 10 in Cupertino) or at midnight July 11 (7am July 10).
So here's the question: will early buyers be unable to activate? Or is Apple going to think of customers outside the US, for once? |

And whats the bet that both have different plans prepared just in case the others is lower than they expected.

That article says to me that:
iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers Not that the iTunes 7,7 release will be on July 11. TUAW is saying that "In theory, iTunes should be released before the new iPhone hits store shelves on July 11", but Apple hasn't said when iTunes 7.7 will be released.

I say that it's a certainty. As frustrating as this waiting game is, the winner will be the consumer in the end. After all there is a deadline  |

Majority? no. O2, check. AT&T, check. one or two others, check. That's far from the 'majority' of the 22.
Patience people. They will come. And we will lap it up. We're all addicts

What makes you think it will be required to activate? All reports are saying phones are activated in store, there's no home activation anymore.

iTunes 7.7 is available now to developers. Sign up for a free membership and download it if you are that concerned. Note: You will not be able to add songs or vids to the 3G iPhone without iTunes 7.7.

Canada just got told what their plans are going to be. Rogers announces iPhone 3G plans, unlimited data isn't one of them - Engadget
Lets hope optus/vodafone give us a better deal then these |

The free evening/weekend is pretty good for calls. And the fact that you get unlimited incoming sms is simply awesome. Too bad about their data rates.  |
