June 11 release date for Apple iPhone
March 31st, 2007 by jamesNews.com.com.com is reporting that the release date for the Apple iPhone has been set for June 11. Replies to their story are contradicting this information, however. No official announcement has been made and until we hear something official I’m going to remain skeptical of the exact date.
In any case, I think I want to wait on the next version of the iPhone. I have a fully working iPod nano so I wouldn’t use the iPod functionality of the iPhone anyway. I just want a nice PDA phone. Since I’m already using Cingular it would be an easy switch, especially since my contract is already up and the whole reason I haven’t gotten a new phone yet is to wait for the iPhone. Unfortunately my 2 year old phone, a Motorola V551, just got a crack on the hinge of the flip ear piece. I think its days are numbered and certainly it will not last until a 3G version of the iPhone is released. If I want a phone discount I have to renew my contract and that pretty much means no iPhone for another 2 years. Decisions… decisions…
