couple more days before the iphone. I'm probably waiting until the next gen as I personally don't see myself spending $600 on the phone now. but it seems like some people can't wait, as people are already waiting at the apple stores (some since monday)!

The company I work at gets 40% off phones at Cingular/ATT... I'm half tempted to call them and ask about the iPhone... But I'm 99% sure there is no way in h*ll they'll give it to me at any discount.

we get 25% off any apple products, but I think we're in the same boat, where we most likely won't get any discounts on the iphone now!

I do like the fact that anyone can buy the iphone and activate it at home instead of staying at the store to sign the contract. I once was at a best buy store for over an hour just getting the contract completed. it didn't help that the person helping me didn't quite know what to do.

I've spoke to everyone I can in my company and business customer care at AT&T/Cingular.

The answer is:
"No discount on this product -- at least not initially"

Also, you will not be able to order it through business customer care as they will not have it available.

Nobody has clarified whether or not the $25 off for ordering on line is applicable though (through their premier site).

I have to admit that I may be one of those idiots that gets one right away. I have one on hold from a "buddy" who has a store. If I end up getting one, I will post some initial reviews and pics about it.

I heard the IPhone is incompatible with Microsoft Exchange. That would keep me from getting one.

Mary Jo Foley (ZDNet) is reporting that Apple will announce this week that they have licensed the Exchange ActivStync protocol in order to enable remote synchronization & push email. I hate push email BTW, and don't use it but my VGA PocketPC syncs email very well. Personaly, I'd rather keep my VGA screen than switch to an iPhone but it looks like VGA's dying, doesn't it?

All those who currently get a discount on your monthly bill through your company will no longer get that discount as the plans are all iPhone-specific.

So in other words, You will have to pay your taxes since most discount barely cover that.
