    How much does everyone think that the iPhones are going to go for in the first couple of days on ebay? do you think that they are going to go for above the retail price? I am going to try to get one and I want to know if it will be worth the investment of the time of waiting at the store. Thoughts are welcome.

    My buddy who works for Nebraska Furniture Mart (huge retailer here in the midwest) believes they will sell 2 models, a base model in the 449-499 range and another version for $100 more.

    In a deal concluded through secretive discussions which began in February 2005,<sup id="_ref-NYT-CingularApple_0">[37]</sup> AT&T Mobility, formerly Cingular Wireless, will be the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the United States and will remain so until 2009 or later.<sup id="_ref-AppleHelloiPhone_0">[38]</sup><sup id="_ref-28">[39]</sup> The iPhone may be purchased only with a two-year service plan with AT&T.<sup id="_ref-Biggerbite_0">[40]</sup>

    Apple received FCC approval for the iPhone on May 17, 2007.<sup id="_ref-29">[41]</sup> Jobs announced that the iPhone will first be available in late June 2007 in the U.S.,<sup id="_ref-30">[42]</sup> during the fourth quarter 2007 in Europe, and in 2008 for Asia, Mexico and probably the rest of Latin America<sup id="_ref-31">[43]</sup>. Also, Mac OS X v10.5, which was originally planned for release on June 11 at the Worldwide Developers Conference, is now delayed until October 2007, due to the fact that engineers from the Mac OS X team were diverted to work on the iPhone.<sup id="_ref-32">[44]</sup> New commercials for the iPhone began airing on television starting on June 3, confirming a release date of June 29, 2007.

    The initial U.S. release will be offered in two configurations with two different prices, based on a 2-year phone service contract with AT&T: a 4 GB model for US$499 and an 8 GB model for US$599.

    Apple also announced that its goal is to capture 1% of the global mobile phone market, which would be approximately 10 million units being sold in the first full calendar year of iPhone availability. For comparison, Jobs announced that the Apple iPod commands 62% of the U.S. market share for MP3 players.<sup id="_ref-33">[45]</sup>

    Disadvantages otherwise i would definitely get it:

    -Only 8GB for the best model.

    -A required 2 year service agreement with cingular if you purchahse the phone and does not work with the other services until 2009 at the earliest.

    You should be able to get fully unlocked versions FAR before 2009. The only phone provider that will carry them is the one mentioned above, but any phone carrier that uses a SIM-based system will be able to use one.
