This article from the Guardian, though almost a year old, does a good job explaining why the Apple hate exists.

“Last year it took 22 hours for iPhone pre-orders to stock out. This year it took less than an hour.” A disappointing update for sure. |

It's well known that apple like to have "sold out" to increase the hype and have people queuing at the stores. By the way, you're still here? I'd thought you'd have set camp outside the store by now. |

Disappointing indeed.

Apple had that AD about "can your phone do this" while showing a voice and data call simultaneously. Well, guess what? The AD on youtube is now private and you can't see it, wonder why? |

Where was this? Did they seriously put it in the press release?

It sold out over an hour beginning around 2 am. Enough people got up in the middle of the night to place their pre-order to run the stock out. I can't decide whether that indicates a small amount of stock or a worrying number of disturbingly devoted people... Graham |

Both of those questions are completely legitimate. Don't try tell me for a second only the latter one is.

I don't know how to explain the lack of simultaneous voice & data on CDMA models. I am more or less certain the blame lies with squarely with with non-standard North American technologies as the GSM models do not have this problem. I do wish the phone had been sold as a single model, though. At least global 3G roaming still works without a hitch. |
