So I guess it was meant for me....... ??
Well, as I already mentioned, I played with it at work while I was getting it ready for the demo stand in the Store.
Unfortunately I wasn't aloud to take pics or shoot a video from it since it was no July 11th. Apple even made my boss wet his pants.........
(with their security issues and restrictions etc.)
I know when you open the damn thing and turn it on you get the dial screen. If you type a number there appears a arrow with a cross in it in the upper right hand corner and functions as a backspace button. Further, when there are no numbers there appears a message with something like ''emergencies only'' or something like that and it fades over in different languages on and on.
There also appears some funny ''info'' button in the lower right of the screen which displays IMEI number.
When you press cancel, it take you to the ''please conect to itunes'' screen.
When you do, iTunes tells you to activate and you have to fill in your name, adress, email, phone number and it automatically detects the serial number of the iPhone. Then you can activate, and it'll ask you of you'd like to get mobilme or not or try it for 60 days. After that you get at the familiar itunes iphone tab.
Now, when the iPhone is released, check this and you'll see I really played with the iPhone 3G. I haven't activated my own iPhone 1.0 since I got it already activated and hacked to work in my country.
........ other than that, you'd just have to take my word on it
