Pulse: No iPhone PreSales

Its not enough aparently that you have to switch to cingular to get an iPhone but now its first come first serve. The Boy Genius was testing the new Cell out and got his hands on some very interesting information (some old, some new). Apple's new phone is stated to be 5 years ahead of anything on the market today (old news). The release of the superphone will be at some point in june, and of the 2 versions announced the 4GB version will retail at $499 and the 8GB version will retail at $599.

That said the idea that on top of having to switch carriers and shell out half a grand that you may show up to store and theres a line around the block of angry tech-heads who know they might not get one reminds me the launch of a certain Sony console someone got shot over. I think I'll wait till the dust settles and my contract with Sprint is up... Just sayin'... color me unimpressed.
