MacDailyNews Take: The bloodbath doth cometh.

BLOOD BATH!!!!!!
<sitting back watching my AAPL stocks continue to climb>
“I like “Apples” strategy, I like it a lot”
AT&T, your time as the largest carrier in the U.S. (by number of subscribers) is going to be remarkably short-lived.
The day people will have a Verizon iPhone in hand is the day Verizon may surpass AT&T as far as subscribers. I’m not sure what they are now but from what I’ve seen… a lot of people went to AT&T only for the iphone and others were even holding out for verizon to get it… it will be a very interesting day. Can’t wait to see the pre-order numbers. I bet they will be higher than AT&T
Does anyone know what time on the 3rd the Apple site will begin taking orders?
“… first come …”
In some cases, that’s not such a good thing. Right Cubert?
Much as Tamerlane lay waste to Delhi, destroying the land for 100 years, so will Jobs iPhone on Verizon defile the infidel Android.
So it is written.
That is right, get off my AT&T network. It will make my 3G speeds faster! Haha
The world map of the market shares of iOS and Android on a per country basis is available at http://www.browserrank.com. iOS is still struggling both in terms of mobile OS and mobile Browser. Maybe Verizon deal will help a little.
But, but the Verizon network can’t chew gum and walk at the same time.
I’ll have to rent a comedy or thriller on my Apple TV at about 11:30 p.m. CT tonight so that I’m awake enough to order iPhones for my wife and myself promptly at 2 a.m.
I’ve waited four long years for this day and I’ll be damned if I’m going to miss out on the initial supply.
RE: MidWest Mac… might I recommend the film “Birdemic”?
lol
i love when people say things will be sold on a “first come, first serve” basis. isn’t that almost always the case in retail? lol
anyway, it’s alomst time for me to ditch this POS Blackberry and step into the light!
I’m happy with ATT, but I’m also excited that Verizon users can now have the iPhone also. Their gonna love it!!!
I’m interested to see how fast the preorder stock sells out. By 6am? It’ll be fun to watch.
Can’t get on the site to order my phone although I’m existing customer. Geez, what’s up with that?
Has anyone had any luck getting the Iphone 4 from Verizon yet?
The site mentioned “difficulties”….they don’t have a problem when my bill is due.
