RSSAT&T: One Million Interested in Apple's iPhone
By the Betanews Staff | Published March 27, 2007, 11:07 AM
AT&T's Chief Operating Officer Randall Stephenson told attendees of CTIA Wireless Tuesday that the company had received some 1 million requests to be notified when the iPhone becomes available. While the company is not taking advance orders for the phone, expected to retail for $499 and $599 USD for the 4GB and 8GB models, respectively, it has an option on the site to leave an e-mail address to be contacted when it becomes available.
"One million people have asked us to call when this phone is available," he said. The company plans to begin selling the iPhone in June, and has signed a multi-year exclusive deal with Apple that could bring several additional models to the carrier over the next few years.
One million chumps. Ever notice how Apple is a lot like religion? They want your cash more than anything else. After they have that, then shut up and take what they give you.

Never noticed....thought it was just good marketing!
-->Ever notice how Apple is a lot like religion?
Sounds like any business to me - you don't HAVE to give them your cash
-->They want your cash more than anything else.
If that were true, you'd never see anyone complaining. But in general, Apple gives you good stuff!

Yeah, I really doubt 1 million people spontaneaously called them asking it. Most likely it was a spam, or something they were forced to click through.

The other 199 million don't want to be spammed!
