BGR: Walmart to carry iPhone 3G for Black Friday

look at all the nerds on here crying about the iphone selling at walmart. boo hooo hooo "now its no longer to be cool to have an iphone since walmart is selling and will be available worldwide" who gives a shit man it a stupid phone. who cares if its available to more people. I think you were uncool from birth if you think a damn phone makes you cool! haha go get laid you fucking dorks!

WOW, pretty lame dude.(SleeplessKn1ght) Less fortunate people need jobs to; sorry your Walmart rep can't be as intelligent as you. I'm surprised you have the opposable thumbs to type this-seeings how your probly descendant of European people who have inbred for thousands of years.

Yessir :)

More Apple Market Share means, in fact, MORE people in MORE places...

Such a dichotomy! How can one be a snooty elitist when their weapon of choice is at Walmart, an American-run front for Chinese Retail Junk? :)

Life is sweet :)

It is officially no longer cool to own an iPhone...how soon til we'll be able to buy one at 7-11's and gas stations?

There's really no reason not to sell the iPhone 3G at Walmart. There's a store almost everywhere, their return policies are awesome, and they typically do drive down prices a little.

@Jeff, I hope that the 3G is returning back to home activation. Those AT&T store reps are a PIA about the iPhone 3G and accessories. I went into buy a replacement headset on one occasion and a screen guard on another and both times they insisted on looking up my account information just for accessories. It's obvious what they're doing - making sure you use the iPhone on their networks. I'm on AT&T, so no problems here, but that kind of checking is a bit extreme.

There are rumors that the iPhone 3G is being changed to home activation. That would certainly explain the Wal-Mart issue.

Could this be the pre-paid plan that AT&T promised at some unspecified time when the 3G was announced - pick up the phone and a pre-paid card at Walmart, activate it and add the minuted at home?

Walmart blows. It's pretty much the opposite business plan to Apple. Sell cheap crap in terrible lighting conditions at the lowest possible price to people that couldn't care less about aesthetics.

I cannot imagine having to 1) find a Wal-Mart employee to activate my phone on Black or any other Friday, 2) wait for said employee to figure out how to activate my new phone, and 3) having to explain to the employee how the phone works.
