This is great. The phones cannot be found anywhere. Sold out everywhere. Apple proud of their worldwide launch cannot stock the phones. $1200+ on eBay for the 16GB version. Yeah, I'm frustrated; a little bitter. But, this make me feel better somehow.

Should've waited in line.
Sure am glad I did.
Chris said 11:38AM on 7-17-2008
I would have...However I was duped by the reports that the phone would be well stocked and would not have stock problems like it did the last time. Aside from that, I had to work. I should have known better, honestly.

That being said, as soon as I can find a store with some in stock (via Apple's site) I will be planting my rear in line at the crack of dawn. Tried yesterday but they only got a shipment of "a few" that were "already spoken for". Whatever that means.
What really pisses me off about all this is that every store has fancy signs saying that they are sold out and Apple's website has a tracking page - Apple knew this was coming. Why didn't they ramp up production.
My first gen iPhone "broke" so I am having to deal with an unlocked 3390 until I can get my hands on a 3G.
Does anyone know how long it took after the first iPhone launch to be able to just walk in and buy the phone? That would make me feel better.

"Don't try this with your iPhone"
Hmm..I'll try not to.

Wasn't this already posted earlier? Sometime last week or earlier this week?

Maybe. The massive amount of iPhone news is just blending together at this point. I think it was on Engadget and Gizmodo though.
Kris said 11:14AM on 7-17-2008
I still think these blendtec stunts completely lame. What a waste of time and resources.

Agreed.
Blending stuff is getting a bit old...now if they used lasers to blow up iPhones or something...that might cool.
DrWho said 11:28AM on 7-17-2008
Agreed. Lame.
Seeing as the first iPhone blended it hardly came as a surprise that the 3G one did too.

Obviously you don't understand the merit of clever marketing. If it wasn't for the "Will It Blend" series of videos that are insanely popular online, NO ONE would know what a blendtec blender is. I'm sure these "lame stunts" have brought gobs of money into the pockets of the owners and they probably don't think they are so lame.
Kris said 6:10PM on 7-17-2008
oh.. Obviously. hahahaha. wow. NO ONE would know!
comment wasn't about the merits of their marketing department - we all understand the impacts of viral internet video. the blending is just getting old.

Blendtec is awesome. I love these stunts. It is amazing the things those blenders are able to handle. Obviously these "stunts" are great advertisements for the company as well. Keep up the good work guys.

And when you consider that their low-end blender costs $400, blending a $200 phone doesn't seem so crazy. I want an iPhone 3G, but I *really* want a Blendtec blender. Gotta convince the fiancée that we need to register for one.

WoW!
It held up like a champ for the first few seconda! During that slow-mo segment they had. Imagine how that damage translates to real life abuse.

I think it's plain stupid. Never mind that they're out of stock all over - there'll be more. But, isn't there better ways to spend 199$ (plus the phone bill, I assume) than on blending things?
